Who is Decent Labs?

 

Over the last four years, Decent Labs has launched fintech-enabled products and applications with some of the most prominent startups in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. Now, we are redefining venture capital by creating a new generation of startups led by mission-driven industry experts and focused on a clear path to growth and acquisition. Our partners are visionary founding teams who have discovered ways to lever emerging technologies for social impact, and see value in a trusted technology partner to materialize that vision.

 

Over the last decade, venture capital has seen unprecedented growth. However, raising capital alone doesn’t guarantee success, and many startups fail before they even get to market. At Decent Labs, we provide the experience and human capital that founders need to transform their vision and resources into a go-to-market strategy.

 

Who Are You?

 

A Product Manager at Decent Labs is highly caring, highly creative, and highly organized. Product Managers at Decent Labs work intimately with our clients to define their vision, design their product experience, and support the success of their business requirements. In addition, the Product Manager works closely with our design and engineering teams to define, organize, and manage their execution of those requirements. 

You, the Product Manager, have a keen eye for the gaps in our client’s vision and can facilitate the necessary product development activities and process to fill those gaps. You’re a highly curious problem solver with a proven ability to co-strategize, direct, and manage the full lifecycle of a product’s development — from conception through release. You have a deep understanding of product design and modern technology stacks, enabling you to communicate with both design and engineering teams. Your passion for quality means that all products that launch from our studio are both successful and delightful.

Importantly, at Decent Labs, you’ll grow as a confident leader who has experience organizing cross-functional teams to build exciting products and ventures, deliver on our client’s business requirements, and grow the Decent Labs portfolio of successful launches.
