The topic of skills divide us as makers, designers & product managers.. Everyday you hear an opinion on what skills a makers should have. Should be a generalist or a specialist? Especially, when you are looking to run your startup do any of these skills even matter? What goes beyond just these skills? For this, I deep dive into a conversation with Misbah Ashraf, who is currently building Marsplay - a community-led commerce platform for fashion and beauty.
Misbah previously led product and growth at multiple global startups like Toymail, Spangle, Pulse.qa, Pursuit, Keygo.me backed by YC, Social Capital, Alexa Fund, True Ventures, Sequoia, Angel List, among others. He also dropped out of college earlier with his friends from IIT D to build a Fintech startup called Cibola, i.e. Venmo of India.
His passion lies in building products that users find delightful, and this drive is perfectly complemented by his love for people, numbers and winning. In his words, “All my energy comes from bringing order to chaos, solving problems before they surface and staying focused when the going gets tough”.
