About the Session
Most product teams don’t move slowly because of bad ideas.
They move slowly because execution is bottlenecked.
Long engineering queues.
Overwritten PRDs.
Endless handoffs.
This Super User Group, sponsored by Vercel, exists to remove that friction.
This is not a standard event.
It is the first working session of an ongoing build group.
Led by Sugata Sanyal, Founder & CEO of ZINFI, this session is for Founders and Product Managers only who want to move from idea → scope → working software using AI-accelerated product and build workflows—without waiting on long engineering cycles.
This is about shipping, not debating.
What We’re Building (Live)
We will collaboratively architect and build the official East Bay Founders community platform:
This will be treated as a real product, not a demo:
Product strategy and scope
UX and design systems
Full-stack development
Infrastructure, provisioning, and DevSecOps
Session 1 is the kickoff. We form the core team, define ownership, and start building immediately.
How We’ll Build — End to End (Live)
This is disciplined product thinking, accelerated by AI.
We will treat the East Bay Founders app as a live product and move through a repeatable framework:
1. Product Scope & Market Focus
• Define the problem we are solving
• Identify target segments and community cohorts
• Align on outcomes, not features
Clarity first. Code later.
2. Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
• Who this platform is built for
• Operating context and constraints
• Success criteria and adoption triggers
If the ICP is weak, everything downstream breaks.
3. Personas & User Journeys
• Primary and secondary personas
• End-to-end journeys across the platform
• Friction points and value moments
This becomes the backbone of the product.
4. From Intent to Structure
• Translating journeys into EPICs
• Breaking EPICs into use cases and stories
• Aligning product logic before writing code
AI accelerates execution. Humans set direction.
5. Design Systems & Architecture
• Design system principles
• Reusable components
• Clean UX without overdesign
• Speed without chaos
This is how teams move fast and stay sane.
6. Live Build
Using the framework above, we will:
• Finalize initial scope
• Assign ownership areas
• Generate flows, logic, and structure
• Start building the platform live
No PRDs.
No handoffs.
No “we’ll build this later.”
What This Group Focuses On
• Product managers acting as builders
• AI-assisted execution, not prompt theater
• Full-stack thinking from day one
• Shipping incrementally with real accountability
No fluff. No theory. No slide marathons.
What You’ll Leave With
• A clear role in a real product build
• A repeatable AI-assisted execution framework
• Live progress on a production-bound application
• Patterns for PM velocity in AI-first teams
• A sharper definition of the modern PM role
