My question is when do startups begin to add Product Managers?
From my experience in the early stages the company hires as many engineers as possible, esp after funding.
Should PMs have to make a case for their position?
Do founders mostly act in this role?
All things considered, it I understand it varies from startup to startup, I am just trying to understand my best place as a PM in the startup community.

- timcederman 16y agoIt's not unknown for product managers to be a part of even very early stage startups, but they need to be able to wear many hats/work for equity.
- jasonshen 16y agoI think most early-stage startups have founders driving the product development. Most product manager positions I've seen on job board are for larger, more established companies - often it's like "Product Manager for Mobile" or "Product Manager - Search" so specific pieces of the product. I'd also imagine that a lot of PM's come from inside the company.
