How Arbor Works
Most of Arbor’s work is hands-on, stepping directly into product gaps during high-stakes moments — leading teams, shaping direction, and owning decisions alongside founders. Advisory and coaching work exists to support that goal: helping founders and teams build the muscle to do this work themselves over time.
Arbor Product Solutions is a product practice led by Evan Michner, a product leader with 20 years of experience building and evolving SaaS products.
Evan has worked as a Product leader with founders and engineering-led teams at companies like FullStory, Atlassian, LaunchNotes, and H-E-B, often during moments where ambition outpaced product structure.
Evan has an uncanny ability to understand people and guide them toward clarity. Evan didn’t just push his perspective — he made me believe it. -Emil, Founder
Where are you stuck?
As SaaS companies grow, friction shows up at three layers:
  • Execution — You need someone to own product and ship.
  • Alignment — Your exec team is misaligned or avoiding hard conversations.
  • Judgment — You need senior product perspective 1:1 to navigate a challenge or season.
Most partnerships begin with a focused sprint and expand if needed.
Every engagement begins with a single conversation — where you are, where you're headed, and what's in the way. From there we figure out the right fit together. No pitch deck, no drawn-out process, totally transparent. Most founders know within one call.
