What Linky Product does

Linky Product is a privately held, Montreal-based Product Management consulting and education firm founded and operated by two co-founders, Valentine Hoyet (Product Leader with UX Design background) and Albin Poignot (Product Leader with Software Development background). The firm serves three primary customer segments: startups (via Fractional CPO and advisor engagements), established companies (via Strategy & Team Structure consulting), and incubators/accelerators (via experiential Programs & Workshops and Entrepreneur-in-Residence roles). The company explicitly positions itself around 'impact-driven innovations' and helping clients generate short-term revenues while maintaining mission alignment, distinguishing its offer from generic product strategy consultancies.

The underlying technology is not proprietary. Linky Product runs on standard SaaS infrastructure: WordPress on Dreamhost for the marketing site, Thinkific for online course delivery, Stripe for payments, and Sendinblue for email automation. The firm's actual intellectual property is methodological — a library of Product Management frameworks including the Product Business Canvas, RICE scoring application, Product Vision Canvas, and User Story Map, packaged into free gated toolkits and paid online courses. The 'simplicity-first, hand-in-hand' methodology is the core delivery approach, and a 'tight-knit network' of external experts is drawn upon for engagements that exceed the founders' capacity.

The business model is multi-stream professional services: (1) billable consulting engagements (Fractional CPO, Strategy & Team Structure) priced on a quote basis per engagement; (2) Programs & Workshops delivered to incubators and accelerators in a 20% theory / 80% practice format; (3) online Product Management courses on Thinkific sold to individuals; and (4) free and premium digital toolkits used primarily as lead magnets. GTM is hybrid, combining sales-led direct outreach and Calendly-booked discovery calls with content-led and community-led acquisition through blog content, LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook presence, and gated resource downloads. Named customers include Ubisoft, Lightspeed, Capgemini, Orange Business Services, Desjardins, OneEleven, Imagia, NURA Medical, and Koolicar. The company is bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, and reports experience across 70+ innovations in multiple industries.
