Rocket Role

Revolutionizing training & accountability for PMs

Education

Hi PH! Long-timer ProductHunter and creator here – it's great to do a launch again, and I'm super excited to bring Rocket Role to you along with my co-founder @LukeBelbina! I've been in product management for 10 years and spent the last 2 years as VP of Product managing a team of PMs. I always struggled to hold myself and my team accountable for consistent, targeted, high-quality professional development. Luke previously built a software consulting company up to 40 people and then exited it – he had the exact same issues with his team. While VP I created a basic Google Sheet for everybody to self-assess their skills so that we could develop their improvement areas in a targeted way, but we ended up falling out of the habit of reviewing this after a month or two. We envision a future where everyone learns from a digital twin of their favorite creators and mentors. High-quality coaching is often expensive. Our goal is to make it 10x more affordable without compromising quality. We believe we can achieve this future across all professional roles and skills, both increasing the quality of and reducing the cost of training and mentorship. Achieving this mission would be transformational for the professional world. Imagine a digital version of your role model (e.g., Lenny in Product Management) guiding you regularly on Slack. This isn't just about periodic courses; but consistent, personalized growth. And while it's not the real Lenny, Digital Lenny is available round-the-clock, possesses vast knowledge on product management, conducts role-plays with you (giving/asking for feedback, talking to users, etc.), and is dedicated solely to your growth. This is NOT just another chatbot. Rocket Role is predicated on push and pull education. It acts as your own personal mentor, and as it learns about you over time it becomes increasingly useful. Here are some of the things it can do today: 1. High-quality, extremely actionable advice. The most concise and useful advice for product managers on the internet - we sweat the detail a LOT. 2. Set challenges. You can't read a piece of advice once and make it useful forever - you have to use it regularly to make it second nature. Rocket Role sets you optional challenges to reinforce your learnings. 3. Special guests. We work with the world's best product leaders and bring in their personal experience advice and tips directly into your lessons. 4. Assess skills. Rocket Role asks targeted questions on very specific Product Management skills which it'll not only use to assess your improvements over time, but also to make sure its advice is always as tailored as possible. We've worked closely with our beta community to build the current feature set, and are iterating consistently as a team of 2 working on this full-time. Other features include: 1. ChatGPT in your Slack within the Rocket Role app 2. Set preferences - choose frequency and times to receive lessons 3. Gamification Our core Rocket Role technology has enabled us to rapidly build this course, and we're SO excited to be dogfooding our very own product. Alongside our own course, we're working with some very exciting creators, trainers, and coaches who are building their own Rocket Role courses to deliver training, advice and accountability into their subscribers Slack. If this interests you then please reach out - we're onboarding creators to our pilot right now.
