Early stage venture capital firm Saison Capital today announced that it has teamed up with global data analytics platform Mixpanel to introduce a practitioner-led programme for product managers in Southeast Asia.
The first cohort of the analytics programme in January 2023 will connect Saison Capital’s 2to3 Product Manager Community directly with Mixpanel leaders across product management and engineering. This will allow the PMs to tap into specific and actionable insights during group learning sessions.
In this programme, the Mixpanel team will study insights from more than 7,000 tech companies and answers more than 70 million product questions every month, with some of these insights to be shared with the programme’s cohort.
In an email to e27, Looi Qin En, Principal at Saison Capital, explains the programme and its long-term benefits in further detail.

“During the programme, participants will have a direct touch point at Mixpanel who will partner with them as they make sense of how to implement the knowledge and skills they’ve picked up. Once they’ve completed the programme, they’ll have further support from the 2to3 Community for peer-level learning and networking,” he wrote.
“Ultimately, we launched this with Mixpanel in response to a gap we noticed in the tech ecosystem – a need for a PM community to support the role they play in driving the delivery of solutions in the market. Doing so benefits the industry at large by ensuring we’re lifting the talent level out there.”
The programme is ideal for PMs with at least one year of experience.
“That way, participants can bring their industry perspectives on product building, management and challenges to the table to make for a more engaging way to brainstorm and troubleshoot with fellow PMs,” said Looi.
The 2to3 Product Manager Community, which will be involved in this programme, is a ground-up initiative organised by Saison Capital to invite product managers working in both Web2 and Web3 roles who are curious about the impact
blockchain, crypto, and decentralisation could have on future products and solutions.

Saison Capital said that the community had grown organically to more than 300 PMs within the first month of its launch.
“The 2to3 Community is a ready pool of almost 400 PMs growing based on word-of-mouth referrals. These are all executives who came together because of an organic interest in peer-level learning, so developing this fresh programme was very much in response to the positive feedback from our past 1-on-1 matching sessions and breakfasts,” said Looi.
Fresh intakes of product managers are constantly invited to join the community.
