As we continue our tradition of highlighting innovative startups building for product professionals, we’re excited to introduce Matan Kleyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Hunch, on this week’s episode.

On the show, Matan shares his journey from technical engineering and data science roles to leading product teams and hosting a podcast focused on AI and product management. Now with Hunch, he’s set out to solve a problem many product managers know well: after all the investment in collecting and aggregating data, only a handful of senior data engineers truly know how to use it.

With that problem in mind, Hunch is on a mission to democratize data access, giving product people rapid, autonomous, and approachable ways to get insights, act on their hunches, and unlock value from their company’s data.

Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Matan:

• The founding story of Hunch and why product managers are at the center of their vision
• How Hunch enables any team member to query data using a ChatGPT-like interface and ready-made templates
• Turning raw insights into dashboards and customizable data apps with no technical background required
• Hunch’s two big differentiators: optimizing for speed and for true autonomy
• Real-world use cases, from engineers and PMs, to data-driven decision-making in action
• How Hunch supports both quantitative (what happened in the product) and qualitative (what should happen next) analysis, including transcript integrations
• Matan’s philosophy on building trust: prioritizing transparency over rigid accuracy and giving users control over context
• Best practices for onboarding, context management, and building knowledge sets in Hunch
• Lessons from building their public roadmap and belief in open, user-driven product development
• The future of product management as a hybrid of visionary leadership and orchestration
• And much more!

As we traditionally have done in previous years, we’re excited to feature innovative founders who are building exciting tools for product professionals. Continuing our Startups of 2025 series, we welcome Nathan Ngai, CEO and founder of Arkhet.

On the show, we explore with Nathan his journey—from over a decade in product design, running countless discovery workshops and design sprints, to becoming a founder aiming to rethink how AI can work for product people. Frustrated by the boom of AI tools that overpromised yet underdelivered, Nathan set out to build Arkhet—an AI-powered wireframing and prototyping platform designed to give product managers and teams more control, speed, and clarity.

With Arkhet, instead of relying solely on the back-and-forth of prompt engineering (and getting results you didn’t ask for), users start visually—building wireframes and layering prompts on top of them. It’s a purposeful approach: if you know what you want to build, Arkhet lets you highlight and describe specific sections, apply your style guide, and collaborate more effectively with designers. The short-term goal: empower PMs to create prototypes faster and more collaboratively, with future possibilities that could extend into full product builds.

Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Nathan:

• The founding story of Arkhet and why visual prompting solves a major gap in today’s AI tools
• How Arkhet integrates the best of traditional wireframing with generative AI to speed up prototyping
• The differences between Arkhet and other AI design/prototyping products
• How it streamlines the collaboration between product managers and designers
• Beta success stories and why Product Managers are choosing Arkhet over other AI tools
• Pivoting from a designer-first ICP to focusing on Product Managers—and why both roles will remain crucial
• Why AI won’t replace Product Managers or designers, but can help them work better and faster
• The roadmap for style guide personalization, Figma integration, and beyond
• And much more!

What really aligns product teams and stakeholders to not only understand each other, but also create successful products together?

In this episode, we’re joined by Randy Silver, Product & Leadership Coach Consultant and Community Builder at Out of Owls, Founder at CPO Circles , and co-host of The Product Experience podcast by Mind the Product. Randy shares his journey from music journalism to Amazon Music editor, and how his passion for collaborating with designers, developers, and content creators led him into the world of product management. With years of experience delivering value across organizations and hosting weekly product conversations since 2018, Randy brings a unique perspective on what it takes to build successful teams and products.

We dive into Randy’s Product Environment Canvas—a practical model designed to help product teams diagnose challenges and align on what really matters. Born from a tough professional experience where misalignment derailed a project, Randy’s framework brings together four critical components: strategy, people, process, and perception. He explains how to use the canvas, the order in which to fill it out, and why it’s as much about internal discovery as it is about stakeholder alignment.

We cover topics including:

• The story behind the Product Environment Canvas and why Randy created it
• The four key components: prioritization, people, process, and perception—and how they interact
• How to use the canvas to identify root causes of team challenges and misalignment
• Motivation mapping and understanding different perspectives within your organization
• When and how to implement the canvas: retrospectives, quarterly planning, or diagnosing stakeholder friction
• Who can use the canvas—whether you’re a team member or in a leadership role
• The impact using the canvas had on organizations
• How the canvas can even help you assess fit when considering a new job
• Tips for managing perception, communicating context, and surfacing hidden blockers
• Resources and next steps for exploring the Product Environment Canvas further
• And much more!
