"I'm excited to invest in folks who have this question of "how do I grow and make that jump from Product Manager to Product Leader"? It's not an easy jump to make and I think figuring out how we can codify that a little bit more is really intriguing."

"Why is Workit different? Their product cohort has a real focus on personal development - not just career/skills development."

"I want the people I work with to be people I'm really helping to get access to something they wouldn't have otherwise because of this particular community."

"I've experienced burnout and have questioned whether product is a path that I want to continue to pursue. The ambiguity of the role can make it difficult to thrive and grow. I'm excited to connect with and learn from other PMs and leaders who have navigated this path."

"Mentors have played a huge role in my own career development. I get a lot out of coaching and helping people develop. People can get a lot of leverage out of the right advice at the right time."

"Working in the enterprise space...this is where keeping passion for great product experiences can be really hard sometimes. Renewing passion through organizations like this and mentorship is absolutely critical."

"Community is what has kept me in this profession. As this community grows, I want people to still be able to have the personal connection that I had."
