Two PMs, No Scrum Masters -- Perplexity's Radical Flat Organization

Perplexity's organizational structure is deliberately anti-corporate: only two full-time product managers in a 50-person company, no engineering managers, typical projects staffed with one to two people, and a "slime mold" philosophy that prioritizes parallelization over consensus. This module unpacks how Perplexity builds product, drawn from a detailed Lenny's Newsletter profile and founder interviews, and explains why candidates must demonstrate autonomous execution and product intuition to succeed.
