Technology often feels like a black box, creating friction that slows innovation and causes misunderstandings. Tech for Product People is the intensive program designed to break that barrier and give you real technical fluency.


Through 8 practical modules, you'll demystify everything from APIs and cloud architecture to databases and generative AI. You'll finish this course with the confidence and vocabulary to make better decisions, speed up development, and become an indispensable partner to your technical team, building better products faster.

The Great Invisible Wall Between Product and Technology

As a product professional, you guide the "what" and the "why," but an invisible wall often separates you from the "how."


This technical gap leads to ambiguous conversations with engineering, roadmaps disconnected from reality, and constant friction that hinders innovation. You're responsible for the product's success, but its technological core feels like an inaccessible black box, limiting your ability to lead with confidence and make truly informed decisions.


This program was created to demolish that wall. It's not a course to learn programming—it's an intensive program to give you technical fluency. We provide the vocabulary and mental models to understand the entire tech stack, from APIs and architecture to databases and AI. You'll gain the ability to join any technical discussion, make better trade-off decisions, and transform your relationship with engineering from friction to strategic collaboration, to build better products, faster.

Virginia Portal

"I was looking for something that wouldn’t turn me into a programmer, but would give me the confidence and vocabulary to become a true strategic partner for the technical team. And that’s exactly what this course delivered. As a Product Manager, if you often find yourself navigating between technological “black boxes” and ambiguous conversations with the development team, I’ve been there too — feeling that the “invisible wall” between business and technology was slowing down the speed and innovation of our agile projects."
