Product-Market Fit

Growth

The degree to which a product satisfies strong market demand. Sean Ellis's benchmark: a product has PMF if over 40% of users would be 'very disappointed' if it went away. PMF is not a single moment but a range. You can have PMF in one segment and not in another. Most startup failures are blamed on marketing but caused by missing PMF.
