Fantasy Startup alternatives

Exceptional experience! I went in as a newbie, and this course leveled up my skill at lighting speed. It's like getting 3 years of PM experience in roughly two months of learning! Overall, here are what I love the most about the course: RPG learning is awesome! I didn’t have to forcefully memorize lessons because the course is an experience itself. A ton of detailed lessons and examples of product-driven growth Sharpen my data reading skill - just when I thought I knew something, I didn’t A soft introduction to analytics tools like Amplitude A full profile my strengths and weaknesses Very structured course

I had already tried Toggl Hire, thanks to this we were able to hire 3 excellent developers at that time, it helped us a lot, so excellent product.

Exponent has been great in my interview prep for preparing for behaviorial questions which is the foundation to getting the next (and more technical interviews)

Secfi provides what would otherwise be a helpful service to employees at venture-backed startups: financing of options for exercise. For employees who want to derisk or don't have the capital, it's a decent option. The problem enters with their terms. First, you are paying an automated fee every month for basically nothing directly to Secfi. They say it's for their platform and trust management but they literally have to do nothing to earn the fee each month. Second, the terms of any agreement you get through them are egregious. Not only does the financier share in the upside but they charge a ridiculously high interest fee which compounds. This means you should only receive financing if: 1. There's an IMMINENT exit (< 6 months) 2. The exit is for a very high multiple of what you purchased the shares for. Otherwise, the interest will eat into your cost basis, leaving you with basically nothing. This is essentially a lender of last resort and should be treated as such despite their friendly public marketing. They get to offer predatory terms because there are few financiers operating in this market. It's completely exploitative.
