43 minutes

THE GUEST

Tanmay Jain is the founder of Qwokka, the first stop for movies & tv shows combining the powers of social and AI. Tanmay is a really smart product thinker, so smart in fact he has the most insane product resume I could imagine. Before Qwokka, Tanmay worked at Atlassian, Amazon and Canva building and leading product teams - and we have all used those platforms so we know Tanmay knows how to build cool shit. He also won the Apple App of the year award and the Product Hunt Golden Kitty just to bolster his credentials. Tanmay is an expert product manager and product lead.

THE QUESTIONS

[8:33] Im quitting: A founder has reached their breaking point and is considering quitting their startup. We talk through the steps you should consider when working out if you should continue or call it quits on your own journey.

[22:14] Giving away my equity: A solo founder is looking to bring on a co-founder and doesn’t know how much equity to give away. We breakdown how to split up equity in the early days (hint: always go as even as you can).

[30:59] How do you launch a new feature? A product lead doesn’t know the right process to launch new features in their business. So we explore what to consider when launching a new product and break down how Canva and Amazon launch their new features.

DO AS I SAY is an advice show about the real problems in startups.
