Have an interview coming up for a Product Manager role at a startup and want to get more familiar with the product. Their product/website isn’t for all consumers and requires special information to sign up that I don’t have because I’m not the intended audience for the site. Any suggestions on how to get around this? I might be able to fake my way in and provide junk data but don’t know if that looks bad since my interviewers will know I did it to check out their site.

Can you look for proxies eg. Competitors with similar products? Or just ask them - 'hey, I'd like to learn more about your company and product before our chat. Is there a brochure or demo account you can send me'. Nothing wrong with being prepared

I've become really jaded about consulting.
