World-class training & mentorship directly in Slack
Rocket Role is a Product Manager's personal mentor and trainer, delivering tailored, bite-sized growth insights seamlessly through Slack. It helps PMs to hone their skills and adopt best practices in their fast-paced, busy work environment.
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.
Unfortunately, paid coaching is cost-prohibitive for most people; insights from books are podcasts are rarely acted upon; and paid courses are often forgotten about a few weeks after completion (you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about if you’ve ever been on one!)
The way professionals upskill is going to change thanks to things like AI and the tooling we're creating. We're super excited to be working full-time at the forefront of this transformational time.
We envision a future where everybody learns from a digital twin of their favorite creators and mentors. Imagine how quickly you’d improve if you had a world-class coach sat next to you every day giving you advice. That’s what Rocket Role is – almost indistinguishable from the actual person mentoring you in Slack, and when you do need to ask a question you can escalate to async, text-based mentorship depending on your subscription plan.
This is NOT just another chatbot or wrapper around ChatGPT. Rocket Role actively pushes you to improve as a product manager by not only training you on best practice directly in Slack, but also holding you accountable to actually implementing what you’re learning with optional challenges, reminders, and more.
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
The course we’re releasing today has been built entirely on top of our core technology which we’re currently beta testing with creators who’ll soon be selling their own “digital twins” and course on the Rocket Role platform… We’re excited to be able to announce some of the amazing coaches and trainers we’re working alongside in the coming weeks.
If you sell a course or sell your time as a coach/mentor/consultant in any way, then Rocket Role can not only provide your clients with a completely new and improved experience… it’ll enable you to reclaim your time whilst your digital twins train your clients, with you being on hand for any questions as we when needed. If this is interesting to you, please request an invite to the creator program: https://www.rocketrole.io/creators.
Thanks!
