What does it mean when we say we want our startup to achieve “Product Market Fit”?
When we say we want our startup to find Market Fit, we mean that we want our company to be able to sell products or services to customers who will pay for them. If our company is spending too much time pitching ideas or building things nobody wants, then we haven’t found Product Fit yet.
So, if our company isn’t receiving enough interest from customers, then we haven’t found it yet. If our company isn’t receiving enough interest from investors, then we haven’t found Product-Market yet.
Next, if the company doesn’t plan to make money long-term, then we haven’t found Product Fit yet. If our customers aren’t satisfied with what they receive or receive poor service in return for their purchase, then we haven’t found Market yet.
If our business is based on a new technology that hasn’t been proven yet because it’s still too new in the market, then we haven’t found Product-Market Fit yet. We want all of these things because they are signs that there is a lot of interest from customers and investors in what our company has created.
Our goal as an entrepreneur is to find Product-Market Fit before anyone else does so that we can get the jump on our competitors.
What are the different strategies for achieving Product Fit?
There are three ways to achieve Product Market Fit: 1. Build a product that people want and then get it in front of them. This is called “Get out of the Building”. 2. Advertise/promote your product to customers and ask them if they like it. Then ask them if they would pay for it. 3. Get a lot of customers to sign up for a free version of your product and then use their feedback to improve it and build a premium version that people will pay for.
