Ivan Yeung
Category: People Connection: Builder peer, Prodicity Summary: Jack’s most celebrated builder peer — named “Person of the Year” in the 2024 Annual Review Last updated: 2026-04-06
Overview
Ivan Yeung is a builder and product person in Jack’s extended network, associated with Prodicity and the Prod So community. In Jack’s 2024 Annual Review — the “40 Questions” format written during CES week in Las Vegas — Jack named Ivan as the person he most celebrated that year:
“Ivan — for his consistent drive on Prodicity.”
This is a significant signal. Jack’s annual review is a highly selective document — 40 questions distilling an entire year. The person named under “who did you celebrate most” is the one who demonstrated something Jack found genuinely worth recognizing.
What He Was Celebrated For
Consistent drive. Not a breakthrough, not a viral moment, not a fundraising announcement. Consistent drive on a specific project over time.
This is the quality Jack most admires and most struggles to embody himself — his own 2024 annual review lists “not pursuing side projects hard enough” as his biggest failure. Ivan represents the opposite: someone who kept going when it would have been easy not to.
Prodicity
Prodicity is a product or platform associated with the prod.so ecosystem — a builder community for serious product people. The name suggests product-focused work (productivity + city / productivity + something). Specific details about what Prodicity does are not fully documented here.
The prod.so Connection
Ivan is part of the prod.so ecosystem — the product-focused builder community that Jack is also part of. This is the community that produces the kind of relationships where you notice someone’s consistent drive across a full year and name them in your annual review.
Profile
- Connection type: Builder peer, not a close personal friend — more like a respected colleague in the builder community
- What Jack sees in him: Consistency; the ability to keep going on a specific project over time
- Community: prod.so / Prodicity
What This Says About Jack
The person you celebrate in your annual review reveals what you value. Jack celebrated Ivan for something quiet — not a big win, not a flashy success, but consistent drive. This is the trait Jack most needs to import into his own working style. The person you celebrate is often the person you’re trying to become.
