Nick Lebesis thrives on shattering conventions in product development and innovation. A serial disruptor, he's navigated seven startups and multiple corporate shake-ups by embracing outsider thinking and contrarian strategies. Nick's career is defined by his ability to see opportunities where others see chaos, consistently betting against the prevailing wisdom of Silicon Valley.

He's made a name for himself by parachuting into organizations, injecting disruptive ideas, and rallying teams to ship products that both challenge industry norms and make a sizeable impact. From securing renowned global clients like KPMG and OTPP to leading venture-backed 0-1 startups, Nick's path deliberately veers from the expected.

Nick's superpower lies in his uncanny ability to see around corners, piecing together disparate elements of the world to anticipate future trends. This foresight led him to secure a patent in social graph technology for Canada's largest telco, despite having no prior telecom experience. More recently, his work in AI, featured in VentureBeat, showcases his knack for connecting dots others miss: without formal engineering training, he fine-tuned an open-source AI model to revolutionize content moderation, now protecting millions of children's daily messages.

As founder of Product Ventures, Nick continues to champion the power of the underdog and the outsider in early-stage innovation, consistently proving that the most impactful ideas often come from those willing to think against the grain and envision the future before it arrives.
