Prashanth Mahadeva

I consult for technology startups and partner with founders to build robust businesses as their helper-in-chief.

Read more about how I help, here: early-stage or growth stage.

As a product manager, team builder, and occasional investor/board member, I have been fortunate to support founders at early stages in firms such as Pocketpills, Article, Sharpsell, enParadigm, and Razorpay. I’m proud to have helped stellar operators at multiple stages - from bootstrapped pre-PMF founders to YC-alum hypergrowth scale-ups to profitable firms bringing in $500m+ a year.

I value the drive that founders bring and respect their will to create something out of nothing. So, it is my delight to make their endeavors just a little bit easier - whether it is exploring new business models, building tech and tech-enabled real-world products, or setting product orgs up for success. 

Why 'ProtoPM'

I broke into product management more than a decade ago with enParadigm. Back then, they wanted to "try out" their first specialized product management role. A "proto" PM of sorts.

Plus, the domain name has a nice ring to it. Don't you think?
