ProductTank Riga, Riga (2026)

ProductTank is the world's largest product management meetup, with events in over 200 cities worldwide, including Riga – run by product people, for product people.

28/04/2025

🚀 ProductTank Riga just crossed 200 subscribers and packed the house for “How AI is Changing Product Management.”

The space was wall-to-wall, the questions sharp, and several attendees said they’d already shipped the ideas the very next day, music to our ears!

🙏 Huge thanks to Startup House Riga for being an amazing host — we hope to be back for another ProductTank event soon!
(We also tested the Borealis Latvija massage chairs placed in the event room and honestly, those should exist in every single office space!)

Irina Lahtadire — AI is Re-writing Product Success
Irina traced her journey from PM roles at giants like Zalando to founding Bai AI, sharing the hurdles of building an AI-first startup and where the AI-powered PM role is heading next.
• Lean 10× teams. AI lets tiny squads out-ship yesterday’s 100-person orgs.
• Automate the grunt work. Specs, test scripts, first-draft copy → copilots.
• Data decides. Instrument everything; evidence beats opinion.

Yook Shee — The AI-Powered Product Manager
Drawing on his notable CPO experience at global scale-ups, Yook unveiled a workflow that lets any PM spin up a working prototype — no full-stack coders or code skills required.
• NotebookLM → Gamma: drop interview notes, get a themed insight deck in minutes.
• Perplexity → Gamma → ChatGPT: pull live competitor intel and auto-generate gap analysis.
• Figma → v0.dev → Lovable: click-ready prototype and usability check in one sprint.

🚀 What a night at ProductTank Riga! 🎉

Our kickoff event was an absolute success, packed with insights, great discussions, and an incredible community of product builders!

🔥 Key takeaways from our speakers:

💡 James Janis Berdigans shared his no-BS advice on growing a business and building a strong team:
•⁠ ⁠Grit is everything. Never give up—failure is just part of the journey.
•⁠ ⁠Hire people you can’t afford. The best talent will always generate more value than they cost.
•⁠ ⁠Be generous with big-impact investors. Keep them engaged so they continue helping your business thrive.

📊 Jean Mauris gave a deep dive into key SaaS metrics & OKRs:
•⁠ ⁠Track which activities bring the best results — not everything is worth your time.
•⁠ ⁠Learn how to set clear, focused targets to drive growth effectively.
•⁠ ⁠Build what people need. Don’t create products you think people want — build what they tell you they need.

🙏 A massive thank you to theIntelligent Space for hosting and supporting the ProductTank Riga mission!

Big shoutout to Andrei Doktoroff and his team for their efforts in making this happen.
