Product-Market Fit: How 7 startups achieved it

34% of startups shut down due to lack of product-market fit.

Yet, there's a way to prevent it: turn PMF into your main metric. That's what Superhuman did:

“Reorienting Superhuman around PMF paid off. When we started this journey in the summer of 2017, our product/market fit score was 22%. Within just three quarters of our work to improve the product, the score nearly doubled to 58%.”

It's pointless to try to grow your startup before you've made your way to the point where there's a really strong desire from the market for your product. That's what this eBook will help you achieve.

You'll finish the book...

• Understanding product-market fit and how does it look like.

• Being able to measure PMF for your startup.

• Knowing actionable step-by-step strategies to achieve it.

We've consumed +100 resources about PMF (podcasts, videos, articles) and turned all of our insights into this eBook.

The eBook has 8 chapters.

The first and longest one is about the why, what and how of product-market fit. You'll learn what PMF is, its problematic relationship with growth, where and how to find it, how to know if you've achieved it, and 4 frameworks that work for all kinds of startups at any stage.

The next seven chapters are case studies on how have the following companies achieved PMF: Superhuman, Segment, ClassPass, Intercom, Airbnb, Slack and PayPal.
