We’re hosting this live conversation for product leaders & founders on how to reach PMF.

Today I saw the best definition of Product Market Fit (PMF) I've ever seen, it's from Mohit Aron: "PMF happens when an average sales guy is able to sell to an average customer without involving people in the headquarters. If it's a very elite sales guy doing the sale, that's not repeatable. You can't be able to sell only through a very elite salespeople". I'm sure I will use it in all my mentorship sessions for startups founders, It's a easiest way to explain.

Helping non-technical founders get their tech built better 💪 Fractional CTO | Angel Investor @ AwakenAngels | TechFoundHer Champion
✨📚 welcome back to the async book club 📚✨ Having concerns/embarrassments/icks over the ‘quality’ of your MVP? The customer defines the quality! Who are you to decide what they think is ‘a bit shit’? This is my favourite story in The Lean Startup. It shows how we can waste a lot of time, money, and energy assuming that our customers will want something a certain way, and be very wrong! And what if we ship something that is actually shit and our customers complain about the quality? Well then it’s lucky we are testing small with early adopters and we can implement those changes based on their feedback 😜 --- P.S. I’m hosting a FREE webinar next week! I will be sharing insights on the 3 places I see early-stage founders make mistakes when building tech and 3 actionable tips to make sure they don’t happen to you! Get involved <3 https://lu.ma/nfo22xt7

Helping non-technical founders get their tech built better 💪 Fractional CTO | Angel Investor @ AwakenAngels | TechFoundHer Champion
📚 welcome back to the async book club 📚 The Lean Startup Theory says that learning from customers is the best measure of success for startups. In order to get those learnings, founders are encouraged to identify the assumptions in their business plan and get them through the build-measure-learn feedback loop ASAP. The barrier to tech is getting lower and lower and luckily it's easier than ever for non-technical founders to find ways of testing their assumptions via the many tools that exist, from automation software such as Zapier to no-code tools like Flutterflow, even form-based tools like Jotform. If ya need some advice on tools like this, shoot me a DM ✨

Founding Partner, Director of Product Strategy @The Gradient, Digital Product Design Agency | PhD | Transforming companies through digital products
Finding a product-market fit is the single most important thing a startup does in the first 3 years. First Round Capital created PMF framework that consists of four levels: nascent, developing, strong, and extreme. Typically it takes 4 to 6 years to achieve extreme product-market fit. Founders should dedicate: - 12 to 18 months to Level 1 - up to 12 months at Level 2 - Level 3 lasts at least 2 years as the company scales and moves toward Level 4. If founders are stuck at a level, they need to reassess one or more of the four P’s: persona, problem, promise, product. The PMF framework: https://lnkd.in/eATR8EUy
