Hands-on support
I’ve spent 13 years scaling some of the world’s most influential consumer apps — Tinder, Grindr, GOAT, and Snap — across growth, monetization, and international expansion. My work spans 0→1 product launches, global go‑to‑market, and AI solutions that have generated billions in revenue and tens of millions of users worldwide.
I’m most effective with:
• PMs transitioning from execution-focused contributors to strategic, metrics‑driven product leaders
• Founders and early-stage teams navigating product‑market fit, activation, retention, and monetization
• Career switchers and junior PMs looking to break into product or growth roles with a portfolio and narrative that stand out
My mentoring style is structured, direct, and deeply practical. We won’t just talk about frameworks — we’ll apply them to your real product and career challenges. Together, we’ll build systems you can reuse for years: funnel diagnostics, experiment design, monetization strategy, roadmap narratives, and the artifacts that accelerate your career (case studies, PRDs, experiment write‑ups, interview stories, and dashboards).
I bring examples from real consumer products at scale — what worked, what failed, and why — so you can shortcut years of trial and error. My goal is to help you think like a growth leader, not just execute tasks.
Recent mentees have landed PM and growth roles, earned promotions, unlocked new revenue streams, improved activation and retention, and gained clarity on their long‑term career direction. I’m especially helpful if you’re working on consumer apps, subscriptions, marketplaces, or international expansion.
If this sounds like the partnership you’re looking for, apply with a short note about your goals and timeline. I’ll review your situation and outline a clear plan for what we can accomplish together in the first 1–3 months.
5 out of 5 stars
I approached Shawn with the idea of becoming a remote veterinarian, but he helped me uncover my true calling as a founder. He didn’t just offer advice; he helped me find a fully funded Bachelor’s program in Software Development through my employer, which will save me thousands in tuition. Shawn also coached me on validating business ideas by engaging real customers rather than relying on assumptions. Additionally, he guided me through challenging financial decisions with an investor’s mindset. If you’re looking for a mentor who provides high-level technical analysis and holds you accountable for your results, I highly recommend him.
