About

Currently the Head of Growth at an early-stage startup. I love building on the side so that I can stay on top of my game. My goal isn't necessarily to become the next great founder, but to ultimately create products that people enjoy and find useful. My inspiration comes from prosumer products such as Superhuman, Wispr Flow, and Cursor.

My inspiration for product building.

Hi everyone. First time PH user and figured I'd share my inspiration for product building (even if it get's lost in the aether somewhere). I am the head of growth at an early-stage startup and have naturally been surrounded by prosumer tools for nearly a decade. Some of my favorites are Superhuman, Wispr Flow, and Cursor. I am sure most people here use/ have dabbled with these tools. My entire thesis on product building has focused on what these products have achieved. 1 feature that absolutely rocks. Hunting for the next feature that does 1 thing for a user in a very simple, intuitive way.
I am currently building a prosumer product with this principle in mind, and it's been both fun and challenging. The challenge is to remove as many features as possible and double down on 1 clear action that is stupid simple to execute.
Really looking forward to meeting folks through PH.
Cheers,

Austin
