I took a MS level project management class that was geared towards PMP and the instructor had run massive projects to build out factories before teaching. I don’t know what base you’re starting from but if there are courses that seem relevant, research the department/school they are under to see what people that finish those courses end up doing. See if the instructors have real world experience and if you jump into that, aim to build your network along the way. I have no idea if they do product mgmt but MIT and Stanford have some of their curriculum free online or post videos from classes. You could get a feel for the content and see if it would help, if thats available.

I think you’re underestimating your experience at a startup. Bad experiences really help solidify what not to do and the path ahead is easier to see.
