Big news for Product Collective community!

Dear friends,

We have some exciting news that we’re finally able to share: Product Collective has been acquired by Pendo! 

Pendo is a long-time supporter of the product community and makers of the most comprehensive product experience platform out there. Pendo also owns Mind the Product, a thriving global community of 300,000 product people with events, editorial content, training and nearly 200 ProductTank meetups throughout the world. We are thrilled to be joining forces with Mind the Product to have an even greater impact in the product community. 

So what does this mean for the Product Collective community? First and foremost, both of us co-founders are staying put as part of the Pendo team! Our commitment to the Product Collective community remains as strong as ever, and we’re excited about the opportunities this acquisition brings. 

Here’s what you can look forward to:

  1. INDUSTRY is coming back to Cleveland! Mark your calendars for Fall 2025. We’ll be sharing more details soon, but rest assured, our flagship event is returning to its roots.

  2. Your weekly dose of product wisdom continues. You’ll still receive the same great resources every Friday in our weekly newsletter. We’re committed to delivering the valuable content you’ve come to expect from us.

  3. Access to a broader network. Our relationship with Pendo and Mind the Product opens up exciting possibilities. You’ll soon have access to an even wider range of product management resources, education, and events.

  4. More resources, more opportunities. With Pendo’s support, we’ll have even more resources to invest in our community. This means expanded learning opportunities, more events in more parts of the world, and new ways to connect with fellow product professionals.

While there may be some changes on the horizon, these changes will be for the better. Our core mission remains the same: to support and empower product people like you.

We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support and trust. This community has always been at the heart of everything we do, and that won’t change. We’re excited about this new chapter and can’t wait to share more updates with you as we move forward.

Thank you for being part of the Product Collective family. Here’s to an exciting future together!

Best

Mike Belsito and Paul McAvinchey
