I left full-time employment at a startup after facing burnout. After taking a few weeks to recalibrate, I'v decided to make a go at building a business from my home office.

I have taken my skills and experience as a startup product manager and packaged them up to help early stage startups ship incredible products.

Would love to hear HN's feedback on the value of this type of service offering.

    I'm skeptical.

    If your innovation here is a fixed price, I don't see how you accomplish that other than just eating the cost or secretly limiting your time without notifying your client.

    Also, product management is probably one of the least-outsourceable areas of a startup. Most successful product managers I know are meeting a lot, building consensus, etc.

      Thanks, that's good feedback to make sure I'm more clear about my offering.

      My goal is not to be a full-time outsourced product manager. Instead I'm trying to fill the gap in early-stage startups that don't quite need a full-time product person.

      Founders of early-stage companies must carry the vision, but sometimes they need some help in execution. My goal is to help them execute on a monthly basis.
