The First Thing That Matters: Product/Market Fit
Jun 27 '15 | 03:00 PM (IST)
Event Information
Introduction:
Product/market fit means being in a good market with a product that can satisfy that market. You can always feel when product/market fit isn't happening. The customers aren't quite getting value out of the product, the sales cycle takes too long or never close. And you can always feel product/market fit when it's happening. The customers are buying the product just as fast as you can make it. Lots of startups fail before product/market fit ever happens. This event is aimed to provide startup entrepreneurs with different perspectives on how successful startups found the product-market fit. Lets have interactive discussion with fellow entrepreneurs.
For Whom: Entrepreneurs, Startup CEO’s & Aspiring Entrepreneurs, Limited seats on first-come-first-serve.
