One Knight in ProductJordan Dalladay's Hot Take - We Should Build Roadmaps Of Risks, Not Features (with Jordan Dalladay, Product Consultant @ inherent ventures)Jordan Dalladay is a product strategist and leader who works with startup founders to help them turn ambitious ideas into market successes.
