Build AI-First Outbound That Feels 1:1

Hi, I’m Elena Luneva. I operate at the intersection of people, craft, and business. I help product leaders, founders, and GTM operators sharpen the business side of product, so they can drive growth, influence outcomes, and lead with confidence.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve scaled product and GTM teams as an executive at Braintrust, Nextdoor, LiquidSpace, OpenTable, and BlackRock. I’ve built marketplaces, AI-native platforms, and B2B SaaS products from zero to scale. Today, I advise founders, coach product executives, and teach product managers. I offer three courses:

Develop CPO Level Skills, AI Powered Executive Communication and Lead High Leverage ICs in the AI Era

Hi, I’m Kyle Poyar, the creator and writer of Growth Unhinged. I’ve spent the past 15 years helping software startups fuel growth, monetize their products, and become category leaders.

I was previously an Operating Partner at OpenView ($2.4B AUM) from 2016-2024 where I led marketing and partnered with portfolio founders on scaling revenue from $1 to $100M+ ARR. Fun fact: we coined product-led growth (PLG) and turned it into a household term in tech. Before that I was a Director at Simon-Kucher & Partners, the leading consulting firm specializing in pricing and packaging.

When I’m not writing about growth, you can find me playing tennis 🎾, cooking Mediterranean food 🍳, hiking 🥾, attempting to finish a Barry’s workout 💪 or hanging out in Boston.
