Introducing Product Coalition 2.0
Product Coalition x Substack: The Start of a Comprehensive Suite for Product Professionals
As a seasoned product manager, I’ve experienced the excitement and challenges that come with building successful products. From navigating intricate stakeholder relationships to bringing new features to life, I understand the demands of this role. That’s why I am delighted to introduce Product Coalition on Substack—an entirely reimagined platform, designed to provide you with a complete suite of tools for professional development as a product manager.
Why Product Coalition on Substack?
When I founded Product Coalition, the goal was straightforward: to create a space where product managers could share insights, connect with peers, and grow their expertise. Over time, it has become the world’s largest unaffiliated product management community, boasting over 1 million readers and 20,000 email subscribers. However, as the product management landscape has evolved, so too have the needs of our community. We realised it was time to elevate our offering.
Product Coalition on Substack isn’t merely an upgrade—it’s a transformation. It’s been designed to meet the growing demands of today’s product professionals by providing an integrated suite of tools and resources to help at every stage of your career, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned expert.
At a glance, here’s the new professional development stack for members:
Access to over 3,000 community created articles
100+ hours of podcasts (new episode added weekly from 15 October)
Curated Workshops and Webinars

Member Subscriptions
After nearly a decade of growing Product Coalition into the world’s largest unaffiliated product management community, we’ve reached a pivotal moment where introducing membership fees has become essential. With the scale of effort required to edit and curate hundreds of article submissions each week, combined with the rising costs of managing and maintaining a vibrant global community, it’s time to take this step. These fees will not only help sustain our platform but will also enable us to invest in cutting-edge, AI-centric professional development tools. Our goal is to provide product managers with the resources to enhance their skills across every aspect of their day-to-day work, from product strategy to user experience design, ensuring they stay ahead in an ever-evolving field.
