Twelve weeks of training, then real client work.
Every new member spends their first semester in the Product Fellowship, then joins a project team working directly with a client company on a real engagement.
What your first semester looks like
Fellowship
Twelve weeks of product management curriculum, running lecture and lab from late September through December.
Capstone
You are placed on a team in week two and build a product alongside the curriculum, presenting to the full membership and industry professionals in December.
General body meetings
The full club meets weekly for speaker events, case studies, and workshops.
Recruiting support
Support from senior members on learning about and preparing for the recruiting process.
What you'll cover
Twelve weeks, most of them pairing a lecture with a hands-on lab. The curriculum moves in order, from what the job is through discovery, business validation, design, and the metrics and technical fundamentals you need to work with engineers.
-
Foundations

Reverb
Reverb synthesizes your calendar, email, and coursework into a daily briefing and prioritized action plan. Available as a 5-minute audio briefing, a skimmable one-pager, or both — whatever fits the moment.
The team shipped a market sizing model with unit economics across two pricing tiers, an iOS build on Swift and Cloudflare Workers, and a five-quarter roadmap with a live marketing site and early access waitlist.

Athletics · Marketplace
Coach Connect
An asynchronous video coaching marketplace connecting athletes with specialized coaches. Athletes upload short practice clips, choose coaches by specialty and price, and receive precise timestamped feedback — no scheduling required.
The team built a skill-tagged video upload flow, interactive timeline feedback markers, a skill-based progress tracker, and a pay-per-feedback model at $5–$10 per clip with a 70/30 coach–platform split.
Team formation
Teams form and select the problem they want to go after.
Research
User interviews and market research to validate the problem is real.
Scoping
MVP scoping, wireframes, and a written PRD.
Build
Prototype build and defining the metrics that count as success.
Final pitch
Presentation prep and the final pitch to industry professionals at Microsoft and design firms.

After the fellowship, you work on a real client.
Project teams are where the curriculum stops being theory. You join a team assigned to a company, own a piece of the work, and take it through a midterm and a final deliverable. Real work. Real impact.
What you'll actually do
You'll join a pod of four to six product analysts under a senior analyst and a project manager, and run a real ten-to-twelve-week engagement end to end: research, a midterm review, iteration, and a final deliverable the client actually uses.
Lead well and the ladder is real — analysts move up to senior analyst, then project manager, in later semesters.
Fall 2026 applications are open
Applications are due September 8, 11:59 PM. No prior product experience required.
