In this week's episode of the podcast, I speak with Daphne Tideman, a product growth expert who runs the Growth Waves newsletter. The topic of our conversation is "zero-to-one growth": the tactics developers can utilize to validate and optimize their product to ultimately enable scaled user acquisition.

Among other things, we cover:

• The purpose of early audience validation
• How monetization can be validated without actually being implemented in a product
• How developers can assess product-market fit at various points in the development cycle
• How a developer can recognize that their optimal audience isn't being served
• How user feedback can contribute to a developer’s understanding of product-market fit
• Whether and how a developer can quantify the scale of their product's opportunity
• How to recognize product-market fit in the soft launch / beta stage
