Startup Mentor Marketplace

Felipe de Sousa França

I’m a Product Delivery and Agile leader with 6+ years of experience helping software teams turn ideas into shipped products by aligning engineering, product, and business goals. My background spans backend development, agile delivery, and strategic management, with a strong focus on building predictable delivery systems, structuring execution, and helping teams move from ambiguity to measurable outcomes. I’ve led distributed software teams building and scaling digital platforms serving thousands of users in the US market, working across product delivery, stakeholder alignment, and execution in fast-moving startup environments. I bring a practical execution mindset focused on validation, prioritization, and helping founders avoid wasting time and money building the wrong thing. How can I support: * Turning startup ideas into clear MVP roadmaps and executable delivery plans. * Helping founders validate assumptions before investing heavily in product development. * Translating business goals into prioritized product backlogs and measurable milestones. * Improving collaboration between founders, product, designers, and engineering teams. * Structuring agile delivery systems that increase predictability, visibility, and execution quality. * Supporting remote and distributed teams with clear workflows, rituals, and accountability. * Supporting founders in evaluating AI opportunities, feasibility, data readiness, and iterative experimentation. Career Highlights: * Led end-to-end delivery of a Rent-To-Own software platform used by providers, manufacturers, and dealer networks across the United States. * Built and coached distributed software teams delivering complex digital products in fast-moving startup environments. * Transitioned teams from less structured delivery models into Agile ways of working with stronger execution discipline and visibility. * Bridged technical and business stakeholders to align priorities, scope, and delivery expectations. * Completed MBA, PMI-ACP, PSM II, Agile Coaching, and SAFe Advanced Scrum Master certifications.
