Produced by Foundersuite (www.foundersuite.com), "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders and investors who have raised capital. This episode is with Hubert Palan of Productboard.com, a software platform that helps product managers collect customer desires and plan and prioritize product roadmaps.

In this episode we go deep into both product management and fundraising. On the product side, Hubert gives advice for new Product Managers, striking a balance between the needs of sales and customer support, and how to prioritize a product roadmap.

On the funding side, he shares his approach for how and why he’s raised $260 million in venture capital (all the way to Series D), tips for thoughtfully deploying a large cash war chest, tips for screening and vetting investors, and more.

Productboard has raised $260 million in total. The most recent raise was a $125M Series D funding round led by Dragoneer Investment Group and Tiger Global, with participation from existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, and Credo Ventures.
