Vertical shift: How to navigate new product markets | Dan McCarthy, VP of Product (Cyvl) | LaunchPod

Today, we’re talking with Dan McCarthy, VP of Product at Cyvl, an AI-powered mapping tool for transportation infrastructure.

In this episode, Dan talks about:

• Dan’s repeatable playbook for launching into new industries—and the pitfalls to avoid.
• How a drop in data ingestion costs allowed Cyvl to open up a new, digitally enhanced way of looking at the world
• Why nailing the entire go-to-market strategy is just as critical as the product itself
