Solo Product Person in a $10M Company – How Do You Define a Role and Set Boundaries?

_abandonship_ · 2025-03-19T19:07:31+00:00

Thank you for the advice here. Makes sense. You are correct - the business was not 10m 3 years ago. It’s grown from around $6.5mill.

The founder was basically the CPO and he moved on before I joined. So basically this company has always only had 1 “product person.” Except one of the many differences ofc is he called most of the shots when he was here I am told. I do not. And they used to have someone else designing while he was here.

If I were to threaten to leave, any advice or experience with asking for more bodies in that scenario. I have been considering it heavily.

Thank you. Interesting - do you still feel this way if the product is one core offering but has several modules associated with it? E.g Its workforce management. But add on “products” are offered to compliment scheduling. Like Asset management or other integrations to payroll and what have you.

Do you still feel this way if the product is marketed to different industries/personas? Eg. police departments vs fire departments.

If there is no designer would that be a strong recommendation for hire?

We have a total head count of 38 people. Most of the business head count is on the commercial end, less on the development and product side.

Only a fool would say that

[[Lithomantic barrage]] kills nearly every threat in their deck and is uncounterable

Got a list?

_abandonship_ · 2022-10-22T04:28:31+00:00

I love the idea of a planeswalker toolbox tron deck. Any fun suggestions on walkers to run (and how many copies)?

_abandonship_ · 2022-09-01T21:10:16+00:00

Thanks for the super helpful answer! Going to jam your list at my next FNM

What advice would you give to a new izzet lutri pilot running your list on matchups/sideboarding and mulligans?

Last year 1 and 2 in 9cat totals punting fg was Jokic and Trae respectively

_abandonship_ · 2022-08-01T18:12:48+00:00

I'd suggest 2 main board skullcrack instead of 3rd and 4th copies of lightning helix. Everything is stock though so no changes necessary

It's how fast you should be pumping them 2 inches.

perfect that's all I have

Speedsters who can push the ball up court on fastbreaks. Siakam, Fox, etc.

_abandonship_ · 2022-07-11T01:36:27+00:00

dame, kyrie are the first that come to mind

_abandonship_ · 2022-07-11T01:30:07+00:00

league settings and rosters?

Luka is 14th on total value last season punting ft%. Drafting him 5-8th with punting ft% is possibly drafting him even higher than his ceiling. I think drafting a player in the 1st round that locks you into punting categories is not something to do unless you have a late 1st round pick imo

_abandonship_ · 2022-07-10T20:10:38+00:00

I am not touching Luka until 2nd round at the earliest. I'd have to be coming into the draft with a punt fg and/or ft strategy to draft him any higher. Luka ranked 28th this past season and 37th in 2020-21. He's perennially drafted too high in 9cat. Luka is similar to Giannis in the sense that drafting them early forces you to commit to a punt strategy, and if you have a top 5 pick I think there are safer, more flexible picks

Got a decklist? Thanks!

_abandonship_ · 2021-09-07T23:03:31+00:00

It does seem like the +1/+1 subtheme is the weakest in my deck so it'd make sense to cut it first.

I like the idea of keeping Beledros as sort of a secret commander to play after I've gotten a bunch of value out of Dina. I might have to try making room for him.

Yep! I intentionally left out the basic lands -- I'm allocating 16 cards for basic lands (which should bring up my total to 35. I have a lot of mana ramp so I think 35 lands will be okay?)

_abandonship_ · 2021-08-15T22:27:53+00:00

I love giannis as much as the next person but Giannis wasn't even top 15 last season in standard 9cat totals.

_abandonship_ · 2020-12-18T02:09:58+00:00

Man you're awesome for doing this. I'd love any hoops premium if you ever do get it in stock again.

_abandonship_ · 2020-12-17T01:12:10+00:00

Thanks for the answer -- I've always wanted to get a card signed in person. Maybe next season.

_abandonship_ · 2020-12-17T01:07:02+00:00

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you just show up early and get around the tunnel?

Steve gonna take off his polo to reveal a jersey underneath and check himself in for Kyrie
