Mahesh Chayel, a product management lead at Meta, mentors AI startups outside his job and outlined the three steps founders need to take to sell their AI vision.
Chayel emphasizes the importance of hyper-focusing on the customer, getting the product-market fit right, and understanding the business model for AI startups.
He works closely with early-stage founders to shape product strategy, refine their go-to-market approach, and explore meaningful AI integration into solutions.
Chayel helps founders identify real customer problems, validate solutions early, and position offerings to resonate with decision-makers, especially in business-to-business environments.
