Update: 2025-01-21
Description
Finding product-market fit is a psychological puzzle, especially for first-time founders launching during a pandemic. Meet JJ Tang, Co-Founder and CEO of Rootly. In this episode, JJ shares his journey—from growing up in China to attending university in Canada and founding a successful incident management platform used by giants like Cisco, NVIDIA, Canva, LinkedIn, and more. We explore valuable lessons from Y Combinator’s S21 batch, the role of messaging in achieving product-market fit, and JJ’s fresh insights on building trust, understanding customer needs, and why incident management is as much about people as it is about technology.
