The Fargo market for VP Products
Fargo combines agriculture technology, precision equipment manufacturing, healthcare, higher education, and a surprisingly durable software community. Companies are capital-efficient and long-term oriented. Fractional executives are a standard way to add senior capability without permanent overhead in a thin labor market.

- PMs are shipping features but not outcomes
- The roadmap is a wish list, not a strategy
- You need to hire and level 3–8 PMs
- Discovery and prioritization are missing
