Summary
Robert Attorri is a Senior Product Manager and YC founder with 12 years of experience launching developer-focused products and scaling fast-growing startups to multimillion-dollar outcomes. He has a rare track record of crowdfunding and VC success—his first product set a Kickstarter funding record for developer tools and another raised backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Sam Altman. At Workstream he led product that served 45,000 hiring managers and 12 million applicants and later drove a product’s revenue up 2,400%, helping a company progress from seed to Series B. He blends hands-on product execution, systems-level design (information architecture, data denormalization fixes, billing accuracy), and process innovation (Burndown and design system introductions) to shorten timelines and reduce technical debt. Now based in Atlanta and building AI and education products for Google Cloud while consulting via robthepm.com, he combines founder grit with enterprise-scale product discipline. An unconventional detail: he studied cellular and molecular biology before pivoting to build influential developer tools and developer-centric startups.
