The world of product is full of stellar technology and innovation that truly deserves worldwide recognition. However, every now and then there is a product out there that does not meet everyone’s expectations, yet it still manages to thrive. This prompted someone to ask, why doesn’t the best product always win? As part of our The Feature is Now the Operating System Series, Christina Lucey interviews Quibb Founder, Sandi MacPherson, on why the best products don’t always win.

In their book, Hacking Growth, Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown lay out exactly what you need in order to do that. They establish what types of companies should form growth teams, common models that work, a playbook for that team, and sage advice on approaching all of this mindfully. Listen in as Anna Marie Clifton (product manager at Yammer) and Sandi MacPherson (founder of Quibb) discuss which of these tools they have personally used in their organizations, if it was successful and what was not, and what they have learned from product people at other Bay Area tech companies as well.

Andy Grove, co-founder of Intel, wrote this classic text on people management almost four decades ago. Listen in as Sandi MacPherson (Founder of Quibb) and Anna Marie Clifton (product manager at Yammer) discuss the highlights and hard learned lessons from this book.

It’s the final episode of FemgineerTV for the 2015 season! It felt like just yesterday I was waking up at 5am on a January morning to buy bagels for Ben Congleton our first guest. Then driving up with him to SF to beat the traffic on 101. Still can’t believe we made it one piece for the live pilot episode! Since then we’ve produced a total of 11 episodes with guests who are changing the landscape of technology in the way they design, engineer, and lead product innovation and their companies. If you’ve missed even one episode, then take some time this holiday season to watch them all here. Of course none of these episodes would have been possible without the support of our sponsor Pivotal Tracker. Specials thanks to Ronan Dunlop, Charles Springer, and Dan Podsedly for believing in my vision for FemgineerTV and continuing to support it. These are some of the BEST guys in Silicon Valley to work with! I also want to thank my team: Michael Zeligs (videographer), Nathalie Arbel (editor), Christy Buckland (editor), and Gary Kirk (video editor). They are such a pleasure to work with, and go out of their way to make the episodes look and sound amazing!  Now on to the final episode of FemgineerTV for the 2015 season! In this episode we’ll be exploring the theme of what it’s like to start building a technology company and product with little to no experience.

Having no prior experience in tech, Sandi went through a series of steps and received a lot of hands-on help that led her to eventually start Quibb, a service that shares articles and reports that influencers and experts are reading, in a newsfeed and daily email. In this episode, you’ll learn the following from Sandi: The risk she took that helped launch her tech career. How founders without a tech background can get started.
