Zero to One v2.0
Product Management Simplified
4 weeks. 30 days. 1 transformation.
💡 Why This Program?
Most PM “courses” teach you frameworks. Here we will build like a real PM.
Zero to One v2.0 is my re-engineered, 4-week, hands-on product management simulation where you’ll go from identifying a user problem to pitching a validated solution. Just like you would in an actual PM role. You’ll work on a real product idea, test it with real users, and walk away with a real portfolio project.
And yes, you’ll do all this under my mentorship and project tracking.
