Getting started in the startup world is no easy feat. When you have a compelling idea that you truly believe in, getting it off the ground is just the beginning of a long and winding journey that could frankly be compared to a rollercoaster. However, if done right, it could prove to be a highly exciting, fulfilling, and profitable journey in the startup world. Not to mention, highly beneficial for the world at large. Just think of some of today’s unicorn startups and the most successful companies that have added tremendous value and convenience in our day-to-day lives. It takes an immense amount of bravery and determination for any founder to start from scratch.
A bright idea is not enough. It could be argued that an idea is a dime a dozen. The right timing can, however, help an idea shine brighter. Yet, crucial as these two components are, they’re still not enough. A bright idea and the right timing are nothing without a passionate founder or founders and, of course, a skilled team. After all, any company is only as good as it’s people.
If there’s one startup that’s proven this adage true, it’s Product Gym. First and foremost, the lightbulb moment for Product Gym came from the actual recognition of an existing problem and the market opportunity for it. Until Product Gym, there was no career coaching program that’s specifically tailored for those who want to gain tech expertise. However, more than that, Product Gym is for those who want to gain tech expertise with the clear goal of having a successful and profitable career as a Product Manager or QA Engineer.
The time has also been ripe for the services that Product Gym offers. As more and more individuals want to take part in the tech industry, the job market has become increasingly competitive. The hiring landscape can be extremely difficult to successfully navigate. Product Gym provides the compass for its members to find their way to their coveted job.
Last but certainly not least, behind Product Gym are Cody Chang, Richard Chen, Robin Khan, and Mohammed Muntakim – a group of co-founders who bring their own unique strengths and complementary expertise to the company.
Cody Chang has a successful track record as a serial entrepreneur, accustomed to launching and growing companies. Richard Chen’s extensive background as a technical recruiter provides Product Gym with a competitive edge and knowledge of what headhunters are in the lookout for when it comes to new hires. This is complemented by Robin Khan’s experience in leading global teams as not only a staffing leader but also as a technology entrepreneur. Finally, in terms of technology, there’s no one like Mohammed Muntakim in delivering technological know-how and driving for technical excellence.
Together, the four gentlemen have put together a powerful team and built Product Gym into a highly differentiated and, more importantly, a highly effective coaching program for its ever-growing members.
There’s nothing like satisfied paying members to prove the value of an idea. What’s more, there’s nothing like an exponentially growing number of successful members to confirm that a business is worth investing in. For potential investors, a startup like Product Gym is one that will only strengthen their portfolio.
