Achieving product-market fit (PMF) arguably ranks as both the No. 1 strategic objective and the biggest challenge for early-stage founders. Hitting this critical milestone tells you — and any investors you hope to attract — that there’s consistent, enthusiastic demand for your product.
Everyone defines PMF differently, and that fact alone makes finding yours a real challenge. This one crucial achievement determines the future growth and profitability of your startup, which is why we’re thrilled to have David Thacker, the general partner at Greylock Partners, join us at TechCrunch Early Stage on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts.
During his session, aptly named “How to Find Product-Market Fit,” Thacker will share the fundamentals, explain the processes involved and address the challenges. Given his extensive experience building in a downturn, it’s likely he’ll touch on why PMF matters even more during an economic headwind.
You have questions, and this is why we believe Thacker’s the right person to help you understand and find product-market fit now — when you need it most.
