Description

What does it take to build a successful tech product without a traditional product management background?

Join us for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation with Julian Kheel, Founder of PointsPath—a fast-growing Chrome extension that helps users make smarter decisions with their travel and reward points.

With a background in communications and business (not engineering or product), Julian took a raw idea and transformed it into a fully functioning product now used by 75,000+ subscribers. No formal training. No PM title. Just vision, grit, and relentless iteration.

In this session, we’ll unpack his unconventional path from idea to launch—and the scrappy, strategic, and sometimes surprising lessons learned along the way.

 

🚀 What You’ll Learn:

  • The Spark – How the idea for PointsPath was born and the problem it solves
  • From Vision to MVP – How Julian validated and built his first version
  • Thinking Like a PM – How he self-taught product strategy without formal training
  • Tools & Tactics – The frameworks and tools that guided his journey
  • Learning on the Fly – Navigating dev collaboration, tech lingo, and launch hurdles
  • Hustle Meets Strategy – Turning feedback into growth and features
  • From Zero to Users – Key growth moves that onboarded 75,000+ subscribers
  • Advice for Aspiring Builders – What he wishes he knew and what he’d do differently

Whether you’re an aspiring PM, solo founder, or just curious how products get built without traditional paths, this event is packed with real-world lessons you can apply.

No PM badge required. Just curiosity.
