Kavir Kaycee
I'm a versatile product manager with 8+ years of experience (total 12) and led product management for several Tier 1 VC (Accel, Sequoia) funded startups including CarDekho and Hashnode.
Worked across B2B and B2C in the spaces of auto, fintech, AI, workplace collaboration, media and content.
Most recently, I was a Senior PM at Hashnode, a blogging platform for developers with 3M MAUs. I improved the new monthly sign up growth rate by 80% and increased the monthly active registered users by 52%.
Currently I consult with startups, build side projects with AI, and write a newsletter of 5K+ subs.
In past roles I’ve been an founder of a bootstrapped HR tech startup, product manager at early stage startups, and as an Senior PM at CarDekho, I helped build a 0-1 platform to disburse 3000+ loans valued at $12M. Currently the platform does $80M disbursals monthly.
