"The only thing that matters is getting to product-market fit." Marc Andreessen
90%+ startups fail. Mostly because they don't get to the product-market fit.
"Epic startups have magic, when a user understands what the product does and smoke comes out of their ears because they need it so much." John Danner
We review more than 1,000 early startups' investment decks each year. Unfortunately, 99% of them don't get the basics. They waste hundreds of hours reaching out to VCs before getting PMF. Rarely do they get lucky and receive some funding, but in most cases, people pass on them.
Reaching PMF is obvious to everybody. It just smacks you in the face. Happy users are screaming and inviting friends, reporters are reaching out, and VCs are standing in line to write you a check. The opposite also works: if you don't have PMF — you can feel it.
🤦♂️ Main mistakes of the early-stage founders
1/ Raising funds too early. You don't need a ton of money to get to PMF. If you're not in Tel-Aviv, Zurich, or NYC, you can easily make it with less than $50k.
2/ Building software too early. We love builders who ship products 🚢. But if you're not doing scientific research or launching a deep tech startup — there's a 99% probability that you can get to PMF with a crappy nocode prototype with manual business processes.
3/ Running paid ads too early. It's a waste of time and money until you get to PMF. Because if you have low conversion and retention rates — your paid traffic will just leak.
4/ Overthinking. The main goal of the pre-seed stage is to be super simple, agile, and run tons of simple experiments. Our community helps to keep pushing and cut the corners.
5/ Can't get out of their heads. Many founders are afraid to run interviews. "What if they will say something bad about my idea? What if they will not want to talk?" and all that jazz. We help you to get through this and just start doing right things.
🔮 40%+ founders think getting to PMF is magic
And 30% more think the magic is fundraising, which is only hard for those who don't have PMF 😜
It's hard to confess that you must run more experiments and talk to more users deeply before getting to the next stage. The path from idea to PMF may look frustrating for most founders, but there's a solution.
🦄 Silicon Valley bullet-proof PMF framework
America is the home of 600+ unicorns and thousands of public companies. There's enough experience and data to outline a clear step-by-step road from idea to PMF.
There are many videos about PMF from YCombinator and articles from other successful VCs, but there are always tons of questions when people start the journey. Our learn2earn course is 100% dedicated to walk you through this stage.
