Hi, I’m Justin Jackson

I’ve been working with SaaS companies since 2008. I was the Product Manager at Sprintly and Mailout, and have consulted on marketing & growth for startups in London, San Francisco, Boulder, and Portland.

My blog, podcasts, and videos focus on topics like product marketing, traction, finding out what people want, idea validation, and mental health.
