A Product Market Fit Show | Startup Podcast for Founders

How to tell if you have true product-market fit—& what to do if you don't. | Matt Watson, Host of Product Driven


Listen Later

One of the most common questions I get is 'How do I know if I have product market fit?" Especially when you're in that gray zone where things are kind of working but they're not really taking off yet, how do you know if you have product-market fit or not?

That's exactly what we dive into here. 

Why you should listen:

  • Why demo to close is an excellent leading indicator of PMF.
  • Why NPS is not as good as Sean Ellis test to measure product-market fit.
  • Why retention is the best long-term metric, but takes long.
  • What qualitative signals you'll feel when you have true PMF.
  • What to do if you realize you don't have real product-market fit.

This podcast originally aired on Matt's podcast called Product Driven, because the topics were so relevant, I figured I'd post it here too.
