Big news: After growing Stellar in the French Product scene, I'm off to the US to connect with the world’s top CPOs. Here’s the scoop???? Back in 2021, I discovered a game-changing lever for driving growth in tech. It instantly clicked with my investor background. Most CEOs were leaving serious value on the table by not fully tapping into into that expertise. That’s when Product became a revelation for me. Then, I made a decision. To dedicated myself to elevating Product to new heights: - Supporting over 40 clients with Stellar - Bringing 15 top-tier CPOs onboard - Coaching 150+ CEOs on Product - Meeting with 400+ pros Thousands of hours spent thinking, breathing, and living Product. Recently, my day-to-day hit a whole new level ? - I have 3 calls daily with CEOs eager to dive into Product. - We signed 1 client per day for 10 straight days. - The Product scene in France is booming. - AI is changing all our perspectives. So my co-founder Timothé and I decided it was time to push further. We set two big goals for ourselves to keep growing: 1) Interviewing top CPOs to feel differences in the US 2) Level up Stellar’s expertise for our clients. To make it happen, we’re heading to San Francisco and New York ?? for 10 days to meet top CPOs, PMs, CEOs, and VCs. What’s on the agenda? ?? - Hosting podcasts with Product Leaders from top US scale-ups - Engaging with French founders thriving in the US market - Covering a major Product event for the French audience - Recording a special show with Silicon Carne - Quick coffee chats with top VCs And here’s the kicker: we’re not going alone. 10+ startup leaders from France are joining us (?? Strapi, Cycle App, Hexa, Basalt ??, Koyeb, and more!) And since my co-founder is also a podcaster, we’ll be documenting everything, sharing our discoveries and lessons throughout the trip. All of the content will be shared via Product Inbox and Clef de vo?te.

"High-touch service isn't scalable, but it's essential for your first 50 customers" The transition from high-touch to self-serve is a delicate balance in the SaaS journey. While automation and scalability are crucial for growth, the insights gained from those initial high-touch interactions are invaluable. Early-stage startups often rush to automate everything, missing the deep understanding that comes from personal interactions with their first customers. These conversations aren't just about support - they're about understanding pain points, discovering use cases, and building relationships that shape your product's future. Every demo, every detailed requirement discussion, and every Slack channel with early customers provides insights that no analytics dashboard can capture. This knowledge becomes the foundation for building a truly effective self-serve model. It was fascinating to hear Neel Balar, co-founder of Clueso (YC W23), share how this approach helped them build a product that now serves hundreds of companies worldwide.

I really enjoyed breaking in our new studio to sit down with Temporal Technologies Co-Founders Samar Abbas and Maxim Fateev for the latest episode of Founded & Funded. Temporal was founded in 2019 based on an open-source microservices orchestration engine project but is the result of a more than decade-long partnership between the two co-founders that spanned their time working on different iterations of the same thing at AWS, Microsoft, and Uber. In this episode, Samar, Maxim, and I dive into the challenges of building an open-source ecosystem while also working on a commercial offering and scaling a successful company, how to navigate and adjust a product roadmap in an ever-changing world of AI and large language models, and how to successfully build an early startup team, navigate through a CEO transition, and bring on a startups first independent board member. It's a very compelling conversation and a must-listen for every builder out there.

If Blockbuster had fallen in love with the problem instead of the product, we might have seen the rise of ??????????????????. When it comes to building successful SaaS products, one key differentiator sets the most successful founders apart: they aren’t in love with their product; they’re in love with the problem they’re solving. This subtle shift in mindset makes all the difference in ensuring your solution addresses real needs and resonates with customers. When you fall in love with the product, you risk becoming overly attached to features, design choices, or technical achievements that may not solve the core issue your customers face. This attachment can blind you to necessary pivots, market feedback, or evolving customer needs. In contrast, falling in love with the problem keeps you focused on the bigger picture — solving a pressing issue for your target audience. --- We empower non-technical entrepreneurs to confidently build successful SaaS products using our proven 3R SaaS Framework?—providing expert guidance, clear roadmaps, and the support needed to overcome every obstacle, from idea to launch.
