  Founder of Insight here (YC W11). Since 2012 we've been running free fellowships to help PhDs transition to roles in data science [1] and more recently health data [2]. Similarly, since 2014, we have been helping professional software engineers learn and move into data engineering roles [3]. Finally, since 2016, we have been helping researchers and engineers move into top applied AI teams working on cutting edge products [4]. Over 1200 Insight alums now work on data teams at 300+ companies.

  For the past year, due to the growth in applied AI / deep learning teams in industry, many top teams are now hiring product people to lead teams of data scientists, AI engineers, etc. We’re also increasingly receiving applications from product managers who have experience building data-driven products and want to build sophisticated products during their time at Insight. The new Insight Data PM [5] will take an existing PMs experience and help layer on the AI / ML / analytics piece needed, with Fellows interviewing for Data PM roles at top companies immediately after the fellowship.
