The Product Person: Fahd Ananta (Preview)

Apr 11

hey! Anthony here. This is a preview of my interview with Fahd Ananta. Most recently, he was a Product Lead at Snap. He started off his career as a PM at Microsoft before founding 2 startups, Chime and Tab. After both startups got acquired, he spent 3 years as a Product Lead at Shopify before landing at Snap. Now, he’s working full time on his fund, Roach Capital.

🛍 What he learned from working on the retail team at Shopify.
🤝 What he learned from his 2 acquisitions: Chime (in 2013) and Tab (in 2015).
📱 What his day to day at Snap was like.
💰 His transition from Product Lead to Investor.
🔥 And lots more!
