Why I Teach At Startup Institute

Startup Institute is privileged to be part of a growing community of founders, investors, advisors and instructors who contribute their time and expertise to our programs.

Ellen Chisa, a product manager at Kickstarter, recently wrote a blog post on her website about why she teaches. She offers great insight about instructing others as well as her experience with Startup Institute. 

Here is an excerpt of her post: 

"After I started at Kickstarter, people started reaching out to me to ask how to be a Product Manager at a tech startup. Mostly, the people who reached out to me wanted to avoid having to learn how to code, or do design, but wanted to be in the tech startup environment. As someone who pursued an engineering degree and a bunch of design classes, this was more than a little frustrating. Understanding engineering and design are really the core of making great products." - Ellen Chisa
