1️⃣ What is Product Market Fit?
Product Market Fit occurs when your product perfectly solves a real problem in the market and customers clearly see its value.
At this stage users start to:
- Use the product frequently
- Recommend it to others
- Pay for the service
This is when organic growth begins.
2️⃣ Why startups fail before reaching Product Market Fit
Many startups make the same mistake:
They try to scale too early.
This usually leads to:
