From Startup Scrappiness to Product Leadership at Lyft and Zillow with Antonio Bojorges
If you’ve ever wondered what good product leadership actually looks like once things get real, this session is for you. Not polished product talk. A real conversation about building under pressure, shipping with limited resources, aligning teams, and making better decisions when speed, clarity, and execution all matter at once.
Antonio Bojorges is a founder and product and program leader with more than a decade of experience building across startups and large scale tech companies. He began by co founding an IoT Cleantech startup that raised nearly $1M and earned international recognition, before going on to lead cross functional programs at companies like Lyft, Zillow, and Syniti.
Today, he is the co founder of Agilow, an AI native platform designed to help startup teams align and execute more effectively through voice driven workflows. That means Antonio has seen both sides of the journey: the chaos and speed of early stage building, and the operational discipline needed to deliver at scale inside major tech companies.
In this conversation, we’ll get into the lessons that only come from operating across both worlds:
What early stage founders can learn from how strong product teams work at scale
How to build momentum when priorities, people, and product keep shifting
What founders often miss when building MVPs and early products
How to balance speed with structure without slowing everything down
What it takes to align a team around execution, not just ideas
Expect a practical session on product development, team alignment, and the real work of turning ambitious ideas into something a team can actually build and move forward.
