About

I've built product inside startups. Now I help founders ship faster.

I'm Guillermo "Guill" Trujillo, a product lead for AI founders and SaaS teams. I bring Silicon Valley operating experience and a hands-on, AI-native way of working.

Where I've built

Three startups, three stages: pre-IPO scale, an acquisition, and a company I co-founded.

  1. LendingClub

    Pre and post IPO

    I helped shape the products that led to LendingClub's historic FinTech IPO.

  2. Lenda

    500 Startups alum

    I launched features that contributed to $2M in monthly recurring revenue and a successful acquisition.

  3. hopps

    Co-founder

    I built and scaled a B2B and B2C platform that raised over $1.1M and passed $1M in ARR.

  4. GT Product Consulting

    Founder, 2023 to today

    I work with AI founders and SaaS teams as a hands-on product lead, from MVP scoping to shipped releases.

How I work

Four things you can count on in every engagement.

  • Execution over decks

    You get shipped specs, tickets and releases, not a strategy document that sits in a folder.

  • Outcomes, not outputs

    Every engagement is measured by what changed for the business: activation, revenue, time to launch.

  • AI-native by default

    I work in the same AI tools your engineers use, and set up workflows that make the whole team faster.

  • Founder speed

    Pre-seed to Series A moves fast. I plug in quickly, keep the plan simple and adjust as you learn.

My toolkit

I use whatever your team already runs on. These are the tools I reach for first.

AI
Claude Code, Claude Design, Cursor, Codex
Product
Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence
Design & research
Figma, Miro
Growth
Mailchimp, onboarding tools like Appcues and Userflow
