• EP 138 - Startups: Hunch with Matan Kleyman

  As we continue our tradition of highlighting innovative startups building for product professionals, we’re excited to introduce Matan Kleyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Hunch, on this week’s episode.On the show, Matan shares his journey from technical engineering and data science roles to leading product teams and hosting a podcast focused on AI and product management. Now with Hunch, he’s set out to solve a problem many product managers know well: after all the investment in collecting and aggregating data, only a handful of senior data engineers truly know how to use it.With that problem in mind, Hunch is on a mission to democratize data access, giving product people rapid, autonomous, and approachable ways to get insights, act on their hunches, and unlock value from their company’s data.Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Matan:The founding story of Hunch and why product managers are at the center of their visionHow Hunch enables any team member to query data using a ChatGPT-like interface and ready-made templatesTurning raw insights into dashboards and customizable data apps with no technical background requiredHunch’s two big differentiators: optimizing for speed and for true autonomyReal-world use cases, from engineers and PMs, to data-driven decision-making in actionHow Hunch supports both quantitative (what happened in the product) and qualitative (what should happen next) analysis, including transcript integrationsMatan’s philosophy on building trust: prioritizing transparency over rigid accuracy and giving users control over contextBest practices for onboarding, context management, and building knowledge sets in HunchLessons from building their public roadmap and belief in open, user-driven product developmentThe future of product management as a hybrid of visionary leadership and orchestrationAnd much more!Curious to try Hunch or learn more?

• EP 137 - Startups: Arkhet with Nathan Ngai

  As we traditionally have done in previous years, we’re excited to feature innovative founders who are building exciting tools for product professionals. Continuing our Startups of 2025 series, we welcome Nathan Ngai, CEO and founder of Arkhet.On the show, we explore with Nathan his journey—from over a decade in product design, running countless discovery workshops and design sprints, to becoming a founder aiming to rethink how AI can work for product people. Frustrated by the boom of AI tools that overpromised yet underdelivered, Nathan set out to build Arkhet—an AI-powered wireframing and prototyping platform designed to give product managers and teams more control, speed, and clarity.With Arkhet, instead of relying solely on the back-and-forth of prompt engineering (and getting results you didn’t ask for), users start visually—building wireframes and layering prompts on top of them. It’s a purposeful approach: if you know what you want to build, Arkhet lets you highlight and describe specific sections, apply your style guide, and collaborate more effectively with designers. The short-term goal: empower PMs to create prototypes faster and more collaboratively, with future possibilities that could extend into full product builds.Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Nathan:The founding story of Arkhet and why visual prompting solves a major gap in today’s AI toolsHow Arkhet integrates the best of traditional wireframing with generative AI to speed up prototypingThe differences between Arkhet and other AI design/prototyping productsHow it streamlines the collaboration between product managers and designersBeta success stories and why Product Managers are choosing Arkhet over other AI toolsPivoting from a designer-first ICP to focusing on Product Managers—and why both roles will remain crucialWhy AI won’t replace Product Managers or designers, but can help them work better and fasterThe roadmap for style guide personalization, Figma integration, and beyondAnd much more!You can connect with Nathan at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ngainathan/ArkhetYou can find the podcast’s page, and connect with Matt and Moshe on Linkedin: Product for Product Podcast - linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green - linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky - linkedin.com/in/mikanovsky/Note: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Do you have a method to reach Product Market Fit (PMF) with your product?In this episode, we’re joined by Giacomo Poggiali, a Sparring Partner for bold partners at Sparring Startups, to learn about his  “Product Engine” framework for reaching PMF. Giacomo is a product coach and repeat founding product leader who has helped over 150 startups navigate the challenging path to product-market fit (PMF). Giacomo shares how his journey began with the lean startup methodology as his thesis, and how he’s since applied those principles across design, product, and marketing in early-stage companies. After experiencing the transformation that comes with reaching PMF firsthand, Giacomo became passionate about helping other teams replicate that journey—again and again.We dive into Giacomo’s perspective on what PMF really means, moving beyond textbook definitions to describe how it actually feels for a team: the shift from pushing a boulder uphill to racing after it as momentum takes hold. Drawing from years of hands-on experience, Giacomo introduces his “Product Engine” framework—a practical playbook for identifying your most valuable users, uncovering what truly drives value, and systematically removing blockers to adoption.Join Matt and Moshe as they explored with Giacomo:The difference between pre- and post-PMF challenges for product teamsWhat the Product Engine is, and how it helps startups identify their lighthouse users and core valueHow to use behavioral data and qualitative insights to uncover value blockersThe 80/20 approach: why doubling down on core value matters more than fixing every blockerWhen and how to off-board users who aren’t a good fitReal-world examples of the Product Engine in action, including pivots and surprising discoveriesApplying the Product Engine to B2B, B2C, and API productsPractical steps for product managers to start implementing the frameworkWhere AI can support the process of finding PMFAdvice for teams and PMs on building something truly valuable—and knowing when you’ve reached PMFAnd much more!You can connect with Giacomo at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giacomopoggiali/ Sparing Startups: https://www.sparringstartups.com/ You can find the podcast’s page, and connect with Matt and Moshe on Linkedin:     -  Product for Product Podcast - linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green - linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky - linkedin.com/in/mikanovsky/Note: any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests,  and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
