EIA2018Italy - Anu Nigam - Product - Market Fit

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. VERY INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION!!!
  2. Product Market Fit - ITS ALL THAT MATTERS!! -
  3. “At ETW Advisors, companies come to us and say they have Product Market Fit. How do you know?” Ask audience? “This is ETW’s Definition of Product Market Fit”
  4. Why is it so valuable? “PMF is the first signal that your company is ready to scale. Investors obsess about it and it has become the thing every investor tries to look for that signal” “Hit PMF and you will get money”
  5. He created HTML, the browser and he created PMF. Marc Andreeseen wrote this famous blog post and this post created the term “Product Market Fit” You can blame him for everyone obsessing about PMF. Read this blog post at 12:05pm. Very important.
  6. Like in the blog post. I’m going to ask everyone to raise their hands and answer the question, “Which matters most?”
  7. The answer is that Market Wins!!! Why does Market win? the market pulls product out of the startup. Really, look at that quote. How can that happen? It happens by Team listening to the market and then developing the product to solve that need. You have to talk to the market/customers!! You have to listen!!
  8. Investors are looking for patterns
