Mengxi Wang
@mengxiwang
Founder and Product Manager who turns ambiguity into shipped, adopted, measurable products.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a founder and product builder with nearly a decade across product design, agile delivery, and go-to-market. I’ve shipped enterprise tools used by thousands, and I now own product and fundraising for my own AI startup roadmap, positioning, and GTM end to end.
I turn ambiguous ideas into shipped, adopted, measurable products—balancing design intuition, delivery discipline, and founder-level ownership. Whether I’m defining the vision or sharpening a launch narrative, I focus on clear outcomes for target users and retention goals.
Most recently, I’ve been the Founder & Product Lead for a Spanish-first AI consumer app, owning the full product end to end: vision, roadmap, design, and go-to-market. I built a distribution motion with a creator partner and led a pre-seed raise from problem framing to investor narrative and pipeline.
Earlier, as a Senior UX Designer and Scrum Master at Capital One, I led research across the full SDLC and shipped internal/enterprise tools. I drove adoption to 3,000+ users (+500% NPS), launched an ML support assistant (−60% support time), and introduced agile coaching and design-thinking across teams.
