About

ProdPad is a Brighton, UK-based product management software platform — bootstrapped and profitable — providing product management teams at HP, Thomson Reuters, Concur, Adobe, Autodesk, Mozilla, Target, KLM, Cancer Research UK, the UK Government, and NHS Education with roadmapping, backlog management, customer feedback aggregation, OKR integration, and AI-powered prioritization and writing assistance tools. ProdPad invented the Now-Next-Later roadmap format (the outcome-oriented roadmap approach that replaced date-based feature roadmaps as the industry standard for lean product planning) and was the first product management tool to integrate OKRs natively. In 2024, ProdPad launched CoPilot (an AI assistant for writing, prioritizing, organizing, and synthesizing product work — built over two years by CTO Simon Cast) as the most advanced AI toolset in the product management software category. Six-figure ARR with 19-21 employees distributed across 3 continents. Founded 2012 by Janna Bastow (CEO) and Simon Cast (CTO), both former product managers frustrated by inadequate tooling; the founders also created Mind the Product, the world's largest product management community.
