🎫 We are coming back to Beam!
Hey community 👋
Next up, we’re heading to Beam for an evening of building, sharing, and connecting and we’d love to have you there.
What is Beam?
Beam GmbH is a venture builder that partners with founders to create and grow new companies from the ground up. Every year, the team identifies and validates dozens of real business problems and turns the most promising ones — mainly in B2B and logistics — into startup opportunities. Founders get early access to customers, funding, and a strong expert network to test ideas and build MVPs fast. If you’re curious, check them out at Beamberlin.
We’re bringing together around 40 people from the community for a focused evening on one of the hardest things in product: the 0 to 1 journey. If you’re a builder — someone working on early-stage ideas, running experiments, or trying to figure out what’s actually worth building — this one is for you. The goal isn’t to hear polished success stories. It’s to sit in a room with people who’ve been through it and get honest about what worked, what didn’t, and why. The reasoning behind the decisions matters just as much as the outcomes, and that’s exactly the kind of conversation we want to create space for.
Our speakers

📰 Product Leaders’ Wisdom
Brought to you weekly by Leila Montazeri
The AI-Native Shift: Reimagining Product Teams and Operations
In Growth Unhinged, Justin Norris challenges the traditional “operator” role, arguing that AI-native individuals must move beyond manual “glue work.” The unique takeaway is treating AI not as a tool, but as a team-level Chief of Staff. He illustrates how a modern product team can offload operational complexity to machines, allowing members to reclaim their headspace for high-level strategic judgment and organizational alignment.
Also, Kyle Poyar highlights a radical shift in team performance, detailing how an AI-native growth team managed 514 experiments in a single year. This isn’t just about faster tools; it’s about a structural redesign where engineers act as AI operators. The article reveals how shifting the operational burden to AI agents allows teams to break human-scale limitations, turning monthly learning cycles into daily ones.
Brian Balfour argues that since AI makes code “cheap,” the traditional large product team is becoming a liability. He advocates for a shift toward smaller, data-centric team structures. The standout insight: a team’s competitive moat is no longer its output, but its proprietary data. He explains why AI-native teams must pivot from “building features” to “managing learning flows” to stay relevant in an automated world.

Interesting, how do I register to the event. I might know some one validating a business model adjacent to fashion, reverse logistics,and clothing landfills.
