I was co-founder, CSO, product owner and BD team member. The most rewarding aspect was talking to users - it was incredible to hear their stories of how the software we developed added value to their research project. And just as important, it was really satisfying to update our future sprints and roadmap in response to their feedback.* Product management*.
