A Product Market Fit Show | Startup Podcast for Founders

He made 2 key changes —then grew to $100M ARR in 2 years & exited for $2B. | Harish Abbott, Founder of Deliverr & Augment


Listen Later

Harish spent 9 months building Deliver and could barely get 10 customers. The product worked. Merchants liked the fast delivery promise. But nobody was signing up.

Then he made two changes—and scaled to $100M in revenue in 2 years. Shopify acquired them for over $2B.

Harish says it wasn't about finding product-market fit. It was about finding product-PRICE-market fit. The product was fine. The pricing model was killing them. 

This episode breaks down why pricing often isn't just a business decision—it's part of your product, how to build self-serve systems that scale to thousands of customers without talking to anyone, and why you must obsess about end users AND economic buyers if you actually want adoption.

Harish is now building Augment, an AI company for logistics that just raised an $85M Series A. He shares what he learned shadow-sitting operators for 60 days and why demos mean nothing in the AI era.

Why You Should Listen:

  • Why PMF is often not enough—you need  product-price-market fit
  • Why subtle changes can have huge results
  • Why you need both users AND buyers to love your product
  • How to master self-serve
