Hey Seattle PMs,
April's loaded. We've got two events on the 7th, a stacked week around the 22nd-23rd with three events in two days, and I'm hosting the Lenny's Newsletter meetup on the 9th. Come through for that one.
Quick notes:
If you find this newsletter useful, the best thing you can do is share it with a PM friend or post it in your company's Slack. We're growing fast and I want to keep the momentum going.
You can always see upcoming events at productinseattle.com

Where: The Collective Seattle, 400 Dexter Ave N (South Lake Union)

AI Tinkerers Seattle: GTM Engineering
Wednesday, April 22 | 6:00 - 9:00 PM
Where: Seattle (venue TBD)
Cost: Free
Different flavor from the dev tools track. This one's focused on go-to-market and growth. Smaller group (50 people), more curated. Worth it if you're on the GTM side of product.

PDMA Seattle Spring Meetup
Thursday, April 23 | 6:30 - 9:30 PM
Where: Side Hustle: Taproom & La Vida Social Cuisine (Kirkland)
Cost: Free
PDMA's first in-person Seattle event. Exciting to see them show up locally. Small venue (60 cap) so register early. Kirkland spot with good parking.
Startup Tech & AI Networking | Ascent Valley
Thursday, April 30 | 7:00 - 10:00 PM
Where: 1525 1st Ave (Downtown)
Cost: TBD
Late-night startup crowd with a pitch session and investor networking. Good if you're exploring the founder side of things or just want to see what's being built.
That's 10 events for April. The 22nd-23rd is the busiest stretch with three events in two days. And seriously, come to the Lenny's meetup on the 9th.
See you out there,
