๐ก โThe life of every startup can be divided into two parts: before product-market fit and after.โ โ Marc Andreessen I come back to this essay every few months. Not because itโs inspirational, but because itโs clarifying. Hereโs the uncomfortable truth Andreessen lays bare: ๐ Before PMF: - Users donโt really care. - Founders are hustling, pitching, praying. - Growth is inconsistent or artificially juiced. - Every week feels existential. ๐ After PMF: - Users pull the product out of your hands. - Growth happens even if your marketing isnโt perfect. - Youโre struggling to keep up with demand, not generate it. - The company has a soul now. Marcโs advice cuts through the noise: Forget vanity metrics. Ignore fundraising hype. Delay scaling. Your only job is to get to product-market fit. And how will you know when youโre there? โYou can always feel product/market fit when itโs happening.โ Youโre no longer pushing. The market is pulling. Until then, donโt get distracted. Donโt overhire. Donโt try to be a โstartup founderโ, just try to be someone solving a real, painful problem for real people. Every big company was once a desperate team chasing PMF. There are no shortcuts, but there is a compass. Follow the pull. ๐ Read the original essay here ๐๐ผ
