Show HN: My first service product offering
- chrisgoodrich 11y agoI left full-time employment at a startup after facing burnout. After taking a few weeks to recalibrate, I'v decided to make a go at building a business from my home office. I have taken my skills and experience as a startup product manager and packaged them up to help early stage startups ship incredible products. Would love to hear HN's feedback on the value of this type of service offering.
- tarr11 11y agoI'm skeptical. If your innovation here is a fixed price, I don't see how you accomplish that other than just eating the cost or secretly limiting your time without notifying your client. Also, product management is probably one of the least-outsourceable areas of a startup. Most successful product managers I know are meeting a lot, building consensus, etc.
- chrisgoodrich 11y agoThanks, that's good feedback to make sure I'm more clear about my offering. My goal is not to be a full-time outsourced product manager. Instead I'm trying to fill the gap in early-stage startups that don't quite need a full-time product person. Founders of early-stage companies must carry the vision, but sometimes they need some help in execution. My goal is to help them execute on a monthly basis.
