Startups and scale-ups

Prepare for startup and scale-up PM interviews, where processes are rarely published, founders interview you, and work samples matter more.

7 min readFull kit

Small companies rarely publish their interview process, and the process itself often changes from one hire to the next. That sounds harder to prepare for, but the patterns are consistent enough to plan around. The main difference from a large company is this: a large company asks "Can this person do the PM job as we define it?" A startup asks "Can this person make our product better, soon, with very little help?"

This lesson covers what usually changes at smaller companies, how it changes by company stage, and how to fill in a loop map when nothing is written down.
