NEW: Internal Threads Internal threads allow you to spin up conversations in Slack from Pylon. It's great when you want to start a conversation with someone, but they primarily use Slack (e.g. engineers, product people or anyone who isn't living out of the support system). Common internal threads we are creating at Pylon: 1/ #bugs to report a potential bug 2/ #project channels to ask a team a question about a specific feature 3/ #feedback to report product feedback to the team It's been one of the most game-changing features we've released and we're so excited to share it with everyone. Enjoy!

We wrangled our whole team to Ottawa to celebrate Downpay's 2 year anniversary 😭 I can't believe how far we've come. Downpay's first year was Denis and I figuring out our MVP and finding the core problem we wanted to solve. In August of 2023, we publicly launched Downpay on the Shopify App Store. Fast forward to today and it's insane how far we've come. ✨ 6+ team members have helped... ✨ 800+ Shopify Brands process... ✨ $40M+ extra GMV with partial and deferred payments. 😍 Not to mention metrics I'd never thought I'd see in my #productmanagement career. ⭐️ + 47% checkout conversion ⭐️ + 25% AOV bumps ⭐️ + 30% increase in online sales ⭐️ Millions in GMV processed in less than a day, TWICE I'm so incredibly lucky to be on this journey with all these amazing humans who have the best laughing faces. Denis Zgonjanin Ian Kelly Brittney Oberfeld Jeremy Hanson-Finger Alain Achkar BFCM, Holiday season, 2025, we're here for it! 💪🏻 Let's go. 🚀 #shopify #startup

WAIT Are you telling me that now Shopify is using LLM's to make more simple the generation of GraphQL queries?? 😮 .dev Assistant gotta be one of the best features for developers from Shopify, you don't know how complicated it can be for someone to jump into GraphQL without previous knowledge (and the docs are not so easy to read for the beginners). This definitely will push a lot of new features and developments within stores! 🙌 🙌 🙌 This is an amazing way, and a very useful one too, of using LLM's instead of just adding a chat helper to your favorite instant messaging app 😅 Check a demo video from Shopify here! https://lnkd.in/eQcbUg2D #Shopify #ShopifyPlus #GraphQL #Storefront #APIs #LLM #FrontEnd #Learning #Lifehacks

3 reasons why we brought north of 25 meetings for our team this business week without any adspend or organic traffic. What we do have is our outreach, and let me breakdown why our outreach is so damn effective. 1. Data Engineers A genuine money printer with AI currently is prospecting in creative ways. Things like social media engagement, job postings, strategic hires, funding rounds, media articles… these events are all public data that we can feed to LLMs and do nice stuff… shoutout to Clay 2. Multi-Channel Outreach - 100% TAM maximum If you’ve used Sales Nav or Apollo, you’ll relalize not all contact data is available. Some people have emails we can find, phone numbers, LinkedIn, X… Well whatever channels are available, and there will be atleast 1, let’s tap it. Get the word across to 100% of your TAM with cold-calling, email, and social media DMs. 3. Relationship Selling Now this is an idea we’ve been toying with. This is the framework we use to write our copy, the message-market-fit. Be humanlike, cut the fluff, and cater to the prospect. “Hey <name>. I was Impressed by your practice. Wondering if you experience the following revenue pains…” We aren’t AI generating heaps of BS, nor are we wasting time with a story. Lead with value while retaining the conversational tone. Sales people are great. Data people are great. You need the best of both though 🚀

It'll never be this obvious, but when you're cooking without expert design, you and your engineers will end up JUST LIKE THIS. It's more subtle these days: Missed sprints Unforeseen edge cases Confused customers Broken promises Refund requests Bandaids everywhere Alarming churn Feature bloat Rabbit holing "Nobody gets it, maybe we need an onboarding tutorial!?" ^^ Don't end up in "Panic Land." Get design help now and get it from folks who have been shipping products and building businesses for over 2 decades. #productdesign #apps #SaaS #startupdesign #startups #UX #UI #Productmanagement

Few agencies without a technical lead are able to get by (and none thrive). Relying on contractors can be a double-edged sword: they bring specialized skills but often lack a cohesive vision that aligns technology with your customer’s long-term goals. This disconnect results in software bloat, where unnecessary features and technical debt pile up. The pain is real: without a consistent, forward-thinking approach, your business is at risk of compounding technical debt that will stifle innovation. Don’t let short-term fixes lead to long-term problems. It’s time to rethink how you approach technology, ensuring it supports—not stifles—your growth.

Not many people know the story of "why" Zenhub exists...so here it goes👇 Back in 2014, the team that would come to be "Zenhub" was a scrappy group of devs and PMs working at a product studio up in Vancouver. When clients are paying you to do work, they (rightfully so) want to understand where that work is at and “when is this going to be done?” The problem was that we could never answer that question… No matter what project management solution we tried (and believe me, we tried them all), we kept coming back to the same core problem. Context switching... Ie. our devs always felt like they were being forced away from where they were working from (ie. GitHub) in order to update our PM tools. So they didn't update them. Needless to say, this wasn't leading to a productive relationship with our clients. So our devs got together on a weekend to try and fix the problem. What they hacked together was a simple Chrome extension to bring a Trello-esque "task board" into GitHub. And as they say, the rest was history. Well, not really, but we’ll save that story for another set of posts… Reducing context switching has been core to our mission from day one. But while GitHub was the home for teams back in 2014, that's changed. Today that home is Slack. While I know people have a lot of mixed feelings about Slack, it has (for better or worse) become where “work” happens in most modern organizations. That’s why today, we’re announcing early access for an entirely new Slack integration that’s going to be a game-changer for how teams use Zenhub. While platforms evolve, that idea of “reducing context switching” has remained a constant, and we’re excited to double down on that mission with Slack. With this new integration teams will be able to create, plan, and track work in Zenhub all without having to leave a Slack channel. If you want to get hands on with what we’re building and join our early access program, check out the link in the comments below. #slack #github #developers #agile #scrum #projectmanagement #devex

My FAVORITE part of the job as a PM is something I get to do as an entrepreneur too and I love it——- it’s PRODUCT DISCOVERY. Can’t believe it’s part of a job lol cause it’s so much fun! You’re just talking to a certain type of people/ personas, and asking curious questions to know them deeply, identifying problem patterns to build product hypothesis on… And then, you get to go back to them and ask them if it’d solve the problem… if it goes well, you literally have found a happy friend (for life if you wanna put in the effort)!!! I mean, whaaaaaaaat? Making friends is part of my job, now? Who would have thought? Definitely not teenager Arunima who was getting super scolded by her mom for being “too social” for a Boards-exam-studying-student. I got 95%+ or something (def 90+), don’t worry, but according to my Mom I could have done much better if I was more “focused” lol… Joke’s on you my (best in the whole world) Mumma, cause being social is kinda in the JD now 😎 I’m just loving it so much. Atleast today lol. There are thorny days too fam, to be clear. When I’m working on the most boring operational stuff and thinking about things I never had to think of or care about cause of being such a pampered corporate employee, alas! All in all tho, 2025 Arunima do feel she is exactly where she’s supposed to be. And if you’re reading this post TILL this point, YOU HAVE A HUGE HAND in helping me get past the tough times in 2024… thank you so much for reading my long expressive essays and filling the void I felt when I didn’t have a team to just discuss things with. Extra-TMI-level personally, having the “social” feeling of community I had here in 2024 is a huge reason why I was able to be productive with long lonely working sessions on research stuff and some emotional processing of stepping into an entrepreneurial life. So, while I am aware of the lawyer/mentor/friends advice I often get on having a more traditional “executive presence” online, and at the risk of creating wrong/inaccurate/half-baked perceptions about me…. I wanna say that LinkedIn has changed my life. The last decade I wouldn’t have been able to achieve even a quarter of the things I was able to achieve, if my dear Stanford friend didn’t introduce me to this Networking tool that could help me grab opportunities in the US while being a college student in India, and not an IITian at that haha. Thank you, Network. And thank you, LinkedIn. And I hope that I’m able to help more and more hard-working people in the world use LinkedIn to network more efficiently in ‘25, through NavHub AI. Let’s see what adventures are ahead, hopefully atleast as many wins as learnings from mistakes/ failures…. But then again, yo girl has done an almost-PhD in turning adversities to opportunities until there just are enough wins to make an year count! #Entrepreneurship #ProductManagement #Innovation

We just launched our Zapier integration⚡ Zapier is great at connecting your tech stack, and now your tech stack has an agent that can automate on websites without an API. Skyvern is great at navigating websites and filling out random forms So why connect them? We kept getting customer requests asking if they could connect Skyvern to Airtable.. or google sheets, or email, or ... you name it. So we thought: should we build all of these out and compete with Zapier? or should we just integrate with them We chose the latter So if you're thinking about using airtable or google sheets to do ... - Auto-applying to jobs - Automating outbound through “Contact Us” form submission - One-click booking flights or hotels - Automating invoice downloading - Streamlined, automated procurement You now can!

"Entrepreneurship is painful and sometimes rewarding." This quote naturally came out during a check-in call with my good friend and fellow entrepreneur, Gilad, who is building a great product at Sequence (I just wish they were available in Canada) 😢 As soon as I said it, both Gilad and I reflected on how true that statement is in describing the journey of building something. Shoutout to all the business owners and entrepreneurs out there taking the pain with a pinch of reward. #startupjourney #pain #entrepreneurship #grit
