Not just another buzzword…product-led growth is an important go-to-market strategy that underpins some of today’s most successful businesses. Think Dropbox, Slack, Intercom, Expensify and Datadog.
At OpenView, we define product-led growth (PLG) as a strategy that puts the product front and center when it comes to how a company acquires, expands and retains customers. Relying on a product-led strategy yields rapid, extremely efficient growth.
Although similar to a freemium approach, a product-led growth strategy doesn’t actually require that you offer your product for free. It does however necessitate an amazing product and customer experience. In fact, PLG companies make it frictionless for users to start using their products. They deliver value extremely quickly and target users rather than buyers.

Main takeaways:
- Gain a deeper understanding of the purpose of a business model from a Product Manager's point of view.
- Learn how the organization's business model fits into its product operations.
- How to continuously deliver and capture value by keeping the business model top of mind
Traditional software organizations have spent the last decade+ adding sales headcount as revenue targets increase, fine-tuning cold calling strategies, and pushing reps "always be closing." But, it’s time to face the harsh reality: the future of a successful go-to-market strategy is product-led. In fact, the most successful IPOs and fastest growing private companies of the past five years all orient themselves around a cost-efficient product-led go-to-market. You have the opportunity to get ahead of the curve and change your sales motion, but only if you commit now to building a product-first organization.

- How to adapt your organization to a product-first model
- Optimize conversion through stronger prospect engagement with a focus on customer success

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

...and with them, the
complexity of our systems
to onboard, manage, and
merchandise supply.
23. In the early days, we built things fast and this
complexity was manageable. Our business needed to
move quickly and grow.
Problem
24. But ten years in, the proliferation of variants made it
slower to develop new features.
Problem
25. Example: Calendar
Management
Here’s the simple
calendar view.
It hasn’t changed much
since Airbnb started,
we’re still thinking of
that single shared
room on Rausch St.
26. Example: Calendar
Management
As more travelers stay
on Airbnb, hosts start
to list multiple rooms
and even entire
places.
Now, they need a
calendar tool which
supports that.
27. Example: Calendar
Management
Our hosts start
becoming more
professional. They may
manage multiple
properties on Airbnb
and be full-time hosts.
Our tools need to flex
and support these
“super-users”.
28. Example: Calendar
Management
Bed and Breakfasts
and Boutique Hotels
start coming onto the
platform.
Our tools need to
support advanced
features like
representative
inventory, rate plans,
and more.
29. Without a platform, each of these teams would build a
separate tool. This leads to a bunch of problems
30. ● Decreased developer efficiency
○ Forked code = 2x complexity
● Inconsistent user experience
○ “App has seams”
● Quality decreases: More prone to
bugs and performance regressions
32. Adding a new feature in a platform world is painless with out-of-
the-box components and frameworks
Platform
User Tools
APIs
Components
Documentation
34. There’s a tradeoff between moving quickly in the short
term and building for the long-term.
35. Scrappy startup
launching it’s first
product
Development cost
Scalability,Extensibility,Reusability Mature company
building a search
service serving
millions of queries
per second
36. The right time to invest in platform is different for each
company. There’s no clear “stage” or “company size”
when you should start.
As a PM, you have to weigh the benefits and costs.
37. After deciding to invest in foundation, make sure to
explicitly carve out resources.
Otherwise, it’s too easy to cut the project later for
something that’s “on fire”.
Parting words on this topic
39. A good platform
● Is business case agnostic
● Is intuitive to use
● Is easy to extend
● Hides complexities
● Does what’s expected
● Enables 10x productivity gains
41. Our Platform Journey
Organic opportunities Growth areas
We also outlined areas where
Airbnb will grow
We started with areas that have
organic demand for
platformization
Unlocking teams
We also identified areas that will
unlock the most number of
teams
42. A few of our initiatives
Hosting Platform Search Platform Universal Listings
Provide a set of APIs
and common tools that
support all types of
Hosts - Plus,
Marketplace,
Experiences, Pro
Hosts, etc.
Build a hosted search
platform that supports
Homes, Experiences,
and Restaurant search
with minimal
development.
Support onboarding
and management of
any inventory type -
such as multiple rooms
in a home, hotels, and
future types like event
spaces.
Build a platform that
can support any type of
rule-based functionality
- such as pricing rules,
availability rules, and
standards.

We listen to our client teams
and understand their roadmap
and pain points
We stay tuned to overall
Airbnb’s roadmap and growth
plans and identify areas of
efficiency gains
We look into our existing
products and identify common
patterns
49. Client Request: How do we get them ?
● Quarterly client “tours”
● Shared quarterly plan review
● Updated templates to mark dependencies
● Dedicated intake form
● Deprecated methods: Slack channels, Hallroom conversations, informal
requests etc.
50. FUTURE VISION: HOMES TEAMS CAN LAUNCH NEW
BUSINESSES, CATEGORIES, AND SEGMENTS IN DAYS
AND NOT IN MONTHS OR YEARS

53. Key Takeaways:
● Do not platformize early, but don’t wait
too long either
● Start with “organic” use cases
● Get buy-in from all stakeholders
● Develop robust processes for intake,
guidelines, communications
● Build for the long term
54. Platform PM vs. Business PM
How are they different ?
Business PM Platform PM
● Focused on moving metrics
● Often short term win driven
● Experiment driven
● Narrow focus on domain area
● Customers are end users
● High level understanding of
technology
● Focused on enabling other teams
● Long term projects
● Driven by long term business strategy
● Broader focus across domains and
categories
● Customers are other product teams
● Deeper understanding of technology
55. Breaking into Platform
Product Management
● No one path, but a lot of folks move from a technical role
to Platform PM
● Strong execution skills and experience in project
management (especially TPM)
● Ability to deal with ambiguity and uncertainty
● Translate high level product goals to platform implications
● Ability to craft long term vision
"As you checked in we sent you an email to join our online communities, events, and to apply for product management jobs. As members of the Product School community we'd like to provide you with these resources at your disposal."

Since then, both the number of guest and listings on our platform have grown tremendously and we now have more than 5.8 million listings in over 80K cities and 190 countries
With that many listings, it became hard for our guests to find the perfect home for them. So we wanted to introduce an exciting new way

Specialized property types like hotels and hostels require managing spaces within properties.
Keep in mind that underneath the hood the tech debt is increasing as teams hack together things to launch new products.
Our systems start to break down and it actually slows the business down
More complexity means it’s harder to maintain the app or make new changes in the future
Host and guest experience fragments along team lines (App has seams)
Alex goes to developers.airbnb.tools as the source of truth for product documentation and knowledge at Airbnb. He and his team find clear documentation of host product surface areas, interfaces and business logic.
From the documentation, Alex sees that there are a set of well-defined connectors/APIs which his team can plug into to add logic for attaching Fees and Rental Settings to Amenities. Alex doesn’t need to know about what Core Services changes are required and which 10 services he has to make changes to. He doesn’t even need to know what the Core Services are!
A designer on the Paid Offerings team uses our WYSIWYG layout editor to design the changes to host tools.
An engineer on the Paid Offerings team makes changes to one shared, configurable Amenities component and the component behavior automatically changes across platforms and product variants, creating a consistent and seamless user experience.
Bottom line: It is easy, intuitive, and self-serve for our clients.
Alex and his team are able to launch an MVP with 4 engineers in a quarter, rather than a year.

Blitzscaling → invest in platform
As a company matures they need to start moving up and to the right on this chart
Platformize too late -- it’s bad
Platformize too early -- it’s also bad!

Agnostic - Design your offering to support many different use cases, easily.
Intuitive - this is for all your customers. Your platform should be easy to develop on and easy for end users.
Extend - your engineering customers will want to customize things. Offer structured ways to do that and make it “easy”, where “easy” means “without needing help from your team”.
Complexities - a platform contains a lot of moving parts. Your customers should never need to know about those parts.
Expected - your platform has a level of technical excellence that all your customers can reliably depend on (uptime, logging, data insights, documentation, etc.)
