Oh hi, didn’t see you there.
If you're here for...
Frameworks that look great in slides but fail in reality
"Founder mode" buzzwords
Gary from Sales telling you how to product
Pretending we know exactly how long features will take
Believing that "10% time for tech debt" will actually work
...then you might want to sit down. We need to talk about your relationship with reality.
I’m Leah Tharin, and I’ve spent over two decades in tech making all the mistakes so you don’t have to. I’m a serial entrepreneur (4 startups and counting), board member, and product growth exec. I’ve led product teams at Smallpdf, GotPhoto (EQT), DeinDeal, and Jua.ai. I specialize in B2B scaleups, particularly those navigating the chaos of product-led growth (PLG), and I advise companies like Toggl, Paddle, and NorthOne. I also work as a portfolio advisor for Notion Capital, focusing on European Series A+ SaaS and Cloud startups.

What You’ll Get in ProducTea:
Practical growth & PLG guides: No-nonsense, tactical insights you can actually use, like my Product-led Growth Guide 3.0, our infallible How to find your first ICP guide, or The PLG for Sales-Led Guide.
Leadership & career real talk: The unfiltered highs and lows of this career, like how to win Crisis Mode or how to navigate the experience of working at a company that doesn’t know their customer.
Industry insights: Making sense of what’s happening in the tech world, whatever you can think of! Hands up if DeepSeek AI shook you?
No-BS product leadership: Because let’s be real, you don’t need another generic roadmap template. I talk about proper roadmap-making, skills that get you promoted, and other information nuggets to make you shine bright.
Hand-picked guest insights: You don’t just get my take -expect sharp minds bringing their A-game, which you get to share with us every Sunday on the Productea’s podcast episode release.
I also take deep dives I share with my paid subscribers, some are:

Hi [Manager],
I’d like to propose subscribing to Leah Tharin’s Blog as a resource for me / our team. Her content focuses on product-led growth strategies in B2B, offering practical guidance across areas like marketing, growth analytics, and product management, all key themes that align with our current goals.
