Our Story

Products That Count began with the vision of an innovator who built products that were used by billions of people during her time at Facebook and Nokia. One day, she was asked a challenging question; “what makes a great product?” SC Moatti, Products That Count founder, set out to find the answer.

After a dozen years building products used by billions of people, I realized how hard it is to define what makes a great product. I started hosting dinners at my house with my peers to find an answer. In just a few years, Products That Count is now one of the largest networks of product managers in the world. It’s so inspiring to see diverse perspectives from our network on what makes a great product.

Colby Marple

Favorite Product: As an avid cyclist and occasional runner, I love using Strava to keep track of my miles and monitor how fast (or slow) I'm taking on a new challenge. Plus, it's always fun to see what other cyclists are up to on roads around the world - especially how much faster the pros are going than yours truly!
