Hey I am on MedialĀ ā¢Ā 3m
šHow to achieve founder-market fitš š 1. Choose a market you have deep connection with Lived the problem: Youāve faced the pain point yourself. Worked in the space: Youāve spent years in the industry. Obsessed user: Youāre a power user of similar products or communities. Example: A gamer building a game streaming tool. š 2. Develop insider insight To stand out, you must see something others donāt. This comes from: Spending time in forums, communities, subreddits Talking to 100+ users Working a job in the space Reading niche papers, blogs, newsletters Goal: Know something non-obvious but true. š§ 3. Gain strong beliefs about the future Ask yourself: Why now? Whatās changing in technology, behavior, or regulation? What will the world look like in 5 years? If you can convincingly answer these, investors and users will feel your fit. šÆ 4. Be obsessed with the problem, not just the idea Many good startups start as "scratches to personal itches." Ask: Would you build this even if it fails? Would you work in this field for 10 years? Do you think about this in the shower? If the answer is yesāyou have FMF potential. š§Ŗ 5. Validate via unfair advantage Ask: Do you have easier access to users? Do you already speak the ālanguageā of your customers? Do people trust you more than an outsider? This is a sign youāll move faster and build better things than competitors. š¬ 6. Constantly talk to users Founder-market fit is dynamic. It grows stronger when you: Continuously ship Get feedback weekly Evolve your insights Stay close to the community Make the market your cofounder. ā 7. FMF = Signal If you post content, build in public, or talk passionatelyāothers feel youāre the right person. When people say: āOh, you should build this.ā āThis makes total sense coming from you.ā Thatās when you know youāve hit FMF. Bonus: Self-Assessment Questions Ask yourself: Do I know the market better than 99% of people? Would users rather buy from me than anyone else? Can I outlearn/outbuild any outsider in this space?
