Product Blind Dates 🍝
Kick off conference week with good food and great conversations! We’re matching small groups of product minds for dinner at some of Berlin’s top international spots before the main event begins.
How it works: We handle the table reservation; you just show up, cover your meal, and build high-value connections. Spots are limited to keep tables intimate.

📰 Product Leaders’ Wisdom
Brought to you weekly by Leila Montazeri
This week, we’re tackling the hidden friction points across scaling product, profit, and customer experience—and how to fix them before they break your growth.
Most product teams don’t fail because of a bad strategy; they fail because scaling quietly breaks what used to work. In this episode of The Product Experience, Julia Barham (Author & Product Executive) breaks down the subtle traps of team expansion:
Why needing to be in every room means you’re scaling chaos, not value.
The danger of chasing growth before finding true retention-led Product-Market Fit.
How to assign monetary value to technical debt so stakeholders actually care.
Sign-up spikes look great on slide decks, but acquisition metrics are pure vanity if users churn by Day 3. Jay Stansell exposes the silent killer of modern products: the leak between initial sign-up and first meaningful use. Stop celebrating top-of-funnel noise and learn why Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) is the only metric that proves you’ve built a real business.
Traditional support metrics like CSAT skew toward extreme reactions while ignoring the silent majority. As AI agents like Fin handle more conversations end-to-end, relying on low survey response rates leaves massive blind spots. William Lane outlines how to transition from sample-based surveys to AI-powered scoring across 100% of customer interactions, turning "fine-but-forgettable" support into a competitive edge.
