On the 26th July, we brought together tech and product leaders from across the extended Seedcamp nation for a focused, interactive event to tackle the toughest questions our portfolio companies’ product leaders are facing right now – from hiring and growing tech and product talent; measuring the impact of new product decisions to keeping the customer’s voice in the product at scale.
Our own Venture Partner, Devin Hunt, was joined by three high-profile product experts – Nilan Peiris (VP Growth @ Transferwise), Matt Henderson (GM EMEA @ Stripe) and Sally Foote (Chief Innovation Officer @ Photobox) – as well as a host of Seedcamp product mentors for thought-provoking discussions and interactive workshops with founders, enabling the experts to share their know-how on product-related problems and opportunities our portfolio companies are currently facing.
