Coding mostly teaches you how to write “for-loops” and “classes,” not the systems-level understanding PMs actually need.

"As a non-technical PM, Skiplevel helped me structure my learning so I could focus on the most important technical foundations. I now have significantly more confidence in my technical abilities, my conversations with engineers are more productive, and I’m making better decisions without second-guessing myself.”

    Before Skiplevel, I struggled to follow engineering discussions. After the program, I’m much more confident in meetings with developers and a far better product manager because of it.

    I’m immediately seeing results. I now have a deeper understanding of how my product works and the platforms in our tech stack beyond their names. I could even follow what the engineering team Slack was discussing during a recent infrastructure update.

Hi, I’m Irene Yu. I’ve spent over 10 years building software as a full-stack engineer — and mentoring hundreds of Product Managers along the way.

I’ve seen how easy it is for product and engineering teams to misunderstand each other. PMs feel stuck, engineers feel frustrated, and no one really wins.

I created Skiplevel to bridge that gap — so PMs can finally ask the questions they’ve been afraid to ask and walk into technical conversations with real confidence.
