Brendan Doyle would rather hire a great accountant with zero product experience than a great PM with no domain experience. He's not joking, and he defends it.
Brendan is Product Lead at Campfire, the AI-native ERP, where his team ships four to five features a week. Before that he bootstrapped a lease accounting company with one engineer, sold it in 2025, and took two months off. He found the Campfire job by scrolling the Y Combinator site.
Now his team ships four to five features a week. His roadmap goes six months out and no further, on purpose.
Also covered: why he sometimes builds without talking to customers first, what breaks when product outruns the rest of the org, what an LLM still can't do in technical accounting, and what he gave up going from founder to PM.
