From Founder to Intrapreneur: How to Build a Startup Within a 200M user company

After shutting down my startup—while live-tweeting the whole rollercoaster to tens of thousands on Twitter —I found myself leading Viber’s new dating app from scratch. Same goal: build fast, launch faster. Very different playground: a global company with 200M+ monthly users and a love for two-week sprints.

This talk is a crash course in sneaking startup tactics into a big company. How to ship an MVP before anyone notices, when to push forward like a founder, and when to accept that—yes—legal will need three weeks to approve a push notification. If you’ve ever tried to move fast in a place built for moving… medium, this one’s for you.

About the lecture: Slicing the Product Marketing Pie – Finding the Perfect Cut

As Product Managers, we carefully craft and prioritize features, ensuring every slice of the product is well-baked. But do we stop to ask—are we serving it the right way? Do the teams interacting with customers truly understand its value and know how to position it?

As our product and company grew, I realized that without actively marketing our product internally—just as we do externally—our success would remain only on paper:

  • Sales teams wouldn’t know how to explain new features
  •  CSMs wouldn’t be able to drive adoption
  •  A poorly communicated launch is almost like a launch that never happened

How Do We Slice Product Marketing the Right Way?

To bridge this gap in our team, we built a structured framework—release notes, sales enablement materials, user guides, demos, marketing messaging, and more. As our product scaled, we realized -
Product Marketing is not just a topping—it’s baked into the very foundation of product success! it’s a mindset that must be embedded into the daily work of every Product team!

It’s not a final step—it’s an ongoing process!

Join me to discover how to slice product marketing into every stage of development, ensuring that every new feature becomes a true success in the field.

How I got our product back on track using an unfamiliar model to shape a winning product strategy .

When I joined the company as the first product manager, I discovered a product that was well-established, loved, and respected in the market. However, competition was growing stronger. Large competitors began eating into our market share, taking deals we were certain we would win.

 I realized that if we wanted to stay in the game, being good wasn’t enough - we had to be different. But how do you define a unique product strategy in a market full of competitors? I searched for answers, read countless articles, but nothing felt practical enough.

 Then, after a long search, I came across the Differentiation Canvas model. That was the moment everything became clear. The model provided a systematic way to take insights from users and competitor research and turn them into a clear, sharp strategy.

 I didn’t work alone. I brought the sales director into the process, and together we dove deep. We uncovered unexpected insights, refined our understanding, and created a clear picture of how we could differentiate our product in the market.

 Presenting the strategy to the leadership team was a defining moment. Not only did they approve it - they were excited. It wasn’t just a strategy; it was a new way of looking at the product and the market. More than that, it was the turning point we needed to get back to winning.

How to Kill a Feature .

 

As products evolve, success isn’t just about adding new features—it’s also about knowing when to retire those that no longer serve their purpose. In this talk, Roni will share real-world experiences from Craft.io on the delicate art of killing a feature. Often built with the intent to help users, some features eventually see minimal usage or lose relevance due to market evolution and emerging alternatives. Maintaining these outdated features not only clutters the product, complicates the user experience, and distorts your product story, but also adds hidden costs in terms of ongoing maintenance and increased development complexity.

 

Roni will discuss the multifaceted challenges involved in this process—from the technical and financial implications to the emotional and operational difficulties of communicating change to customers. Removing a feature, particularly one that holds user-generated data, demands careful planning, empathetic communication, and a well-managed migration strategy to ensure that customers are not left without value. In this session, Roni will share the lessons they learned at Craft.io, including both their successes and failures, and offer actionable frameworks to help you decide when to sunset a feature and how to do it effectively.

How to make every mistake possible when building your AI chat app .

In the last year or so, I have been hard at work as a product manager on one of the most high profile AI chat apps in the world. I won't lie, mistakes were made.
Just my favorite example: we completely ignored explainability, and could not give answers to users on why the chat decided to offer a surprising solution. It worked! but users did not like it (or trusted it for that matter). 

Building chat products require a whole new level of trust building with your user.
In this session, I'll show how to avoid the most common blunders when building your LLM-based chat product. 

Relevant for product managers, entrepreneurs and people who make mistakes.

Stop Fixing, Start Preventing: Rethinking the Product Journey .

I was a new product manager at Fiverr, responsible for the post-order user journey. This meant working with users after they made a purchase, focusing on their communication and delivery. The main KPI was retention, which, unsurprisingly, was highly correlated with user satisfaction.

Initially, the team focused on improving satisfaction by reacting to bad experiences. We put a lot of effort into identifying and approaching users who had bad experiences, hoping to turn their dissatisfaction into a positive one. This seemed like a clear and effective approach, especially because retention was our primary metric.

We also invented a whole new KPI that the whole company was focused on: “Missed orders”. (And the goal was to reduce it)

I was deeply invested in this strategy and proud of the vision and the KPI I had created. However, after several tests in my ownership area that yielded little impact, I realized that we had missed a critical aspect of the process. Through conversations, including with my husband who is an MD, I realized that our focus on fixing bad experiences was only part of the solution. The real breakthrough came when we recognized that prevention is the best medicine. Instead of investing energy into solving problems after they occurred, we needed to focus on preventing them in the first place.
