satisfy that market.

“very disappointed” without your product.

BPMF.
Wondering where the value is?Customers are confused?No organic traction.Hard to pitch startup press.Long sales cycles.
…they don’t want it.

APMF.
Customers buying as fast as you can build.Your understaffed.WOM is on fire.Random emails/feedback thanking you.Investment/press/general buzz.

#4. Ask all the questions
![Page 31: Startup Next Seattle - Product Market Fit by Joanna Lord](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d57f3d8b42aba3d8b48d6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Who needs your solution?• Who would pay for your solution?• Who approves that charge?• What are they doing now to solve for that?• What is the dream solution?• The minimum solution?• What other problems stem from this problem?• How would they feel if it was solved?• How much of their monthly budget would they put toward a solution?• If presented with a solution, what could stop them from using the solution?• What are their shooting for?• What are their professional goals?• What roadblocks are they facing when aiming for those goals?
![Page 32: Startup Next Seattle - Product Market Fit by Joanna Lord](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d57f3d8b42aba3d8b48d6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
#5. Be skeptical.
![Page 33: Startup Next Seattle - Product Market Fit by Joanna Lord](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062706/557d57f3d8b42aba3d8b48d6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

What do I mean “skeptical?”
• What if they aren’t right? (you know who I mean)• What if that one person is right? • What if your first three validating points didn’t exist?• What if the most constant thing vanished?• What if your primary persona didn’t exist?• 10th man rule/argumentative theory/odd man out theory : do it
For the love of goodness gracious:
Embrace and reward skepticism.

#6. Minimum sellable product.*

#7. Double back…a dozen times.
…aka checking your hypotheses.

What do I mean “validate?”
• Troll feature request forms (yours and others)• Visit tradeshows, shake hands, ask them what challenges they are facing• Get a CAB early, grow it steadily• Get your prototype into customer hands as quickly as you can• Do retros on market failures – awkwardddd, but valuable• Do retros on lost deals, cancelled customers• Write your assumptions on a wall and revisit them frequently
For the love of goodness gracious:
Don’t base anything on what is listed a trend to watch.

#8. Repeat after me: activation & retention.
Everything else comes after PMF.

#9. Architect for speed

What do I mean “architect for speed?”
• Plug and play platforms as much as you can• Don’t build too deep too early• Think flexibility from the get go• Your first processes should be around iteration• Your first hires should pride themselves in their ability to adapt• Culture should reward fluidity
For the love of goodness gracious:
Don’t build for progress sake.
