Adam Bartkiewicz

A product person through and through - for years I've been helping teams figure out what's truly worth building before they write a single line of code. I've been an interim CEO at a venture builder, a product discovery consultant, and an accelerator mentor. I regularly share my experience from the stage as a speaker at industry conferences.

I'm drawn to places where ambitious people ask themselves "what if?" - to invest in them, support them, or build alongside them. After hours, I hunt for big problems to solve, mostly at the intersection of AI and personal productivity, and then look for people 10x better than myself who are already working on it.

I'm learning how to lose 99% of the time and still come back to the field - on the golf course. I spend way too much on specialty coffee beans. And in person, I'm taller than on a call.
