The so-called Product Market Fit (PMF)

To me, Product Market Fit (PMF) is just a pre-mature process, when you are starting up. The real issue is not PMF, but the Problem Solution Fit (PSF).

  • How deeply do you understand the problem?
  • Have you fallen in love with solving this problem?
  • How relevant is the problem to you?
  • Is the problem something you felt one time or continue to feel? A bad example is wedding apps just because you had issues trying to get hitched.
  • Are you solving someone else’s problem that you have no deep experience of? My first failed tech startup was trying to do this. In reality, I was clueless and had inadequate domain knowledge.

Your execution may not be great, but you can always improve the execution if you know the problem deeply enough. Nobody talks about this.

At SkilledUp Life I am trying to solve a problem I have been living with since 2004. My own execution of this can be improved 100 times. We truly have a long way to go – to build a global movement.

Deal Lite needs significant perfection, and the list goes on. More tools are on the way. ????

Every Tom and Dick talk about PMF when they have no clue what it actually takes to achieve this magical moment. And those who have got closer to it feel that they are still miles away from it.
