Forget Product-Market Fit for a Second. Do YOU Have Founder-Market Fit? 🤔 We're all obsessed with finding Product-Market Fit. But I believe there's a more fundamental question we need to ask first: Do I have Founder-Market Fit? Having a great idea isn't enough. The startup graveyard is full of great ideas. The real question is: are you the right person to build this specific business, in this specific market? Here's what real Founder-Market Fit looks like: 👍🏻 Deep, Authentic Passion: You're not just chasing a trend; you're genuinely obsessed with the problem you're solving. You would work on this even if it was NOT a startup. This passion is the fuel that will get you through the inevitable tough times. 👍🏻 "Secret" Insight: You understand the nuances of your industry and your customer's pain points on a level that an outsider or a "tourist" founder simply cannot. You have an unfair advantage because you have LIVED the problem. 👍🏻 Credibility & Trust: Your background and experience make you a credible and trustworthy leader in your space. People (customers, investors, employees) believe in you because you are a natural fit for the mission. Before you spend months or years building a product, take a moment for some honest self-awareness. Ask yourself if you have that deep, authentic connection to the market you're trying to serve. Building a business without Founder-Market Fit is like trying to win a marathon you have no interest in running. What are your thoughts? How important is it for a founder to be personally and passionately connected to the problem they are solving? 👇 ------ PC - Bharat Startup Notebook
