friends of next play: PM Roundtable w/Anthony DeLuise

​Join us for a conversational session where PMs and product-curious folks share what they're building to streamline and enhance their work - whether that's an app, an automation, or any other AI-assisted workflow.

​We'll focus on the evolving expectations of PMs as builders (inspired by Marty Cagan’s “The Era of the Product Creator”), and discuss how leveraging AI lets us build and validate ideas faster, operate with more ownership, and meet the demands of modern product roles.

​Come to demo something you’re working on, ask or offer feedback, or just observe and get inspired! Let us know if you wish to demo your project in advance.

​Our guest speaker is Anthony DeLuise, a product manager with experience launching and scaling B2B products. He was part of the founding team at VisitDays (SaaS for university admissions teams), where he led product and design. His time as a (mostly) one-person product team at an early-stage startup has helped shape his belief that PMs today need to operate more like builders.

​Our host, Matan Nice, is a product manager with experience in early-stage startups. He brings a diverse background spanning product development, mechanical engineering, and academic research. Outside of work, he’s an outdoor enthusiast and a passionate cook.
