Achieving product-market fit (PMF) is one of the biggest strategic goals and biggest challenges for early-stage founders. Achieving this important milestone shows that there is a consistent and enthusiastic demand for your product by you and the investors you want to attract.
The definition of PMF varies from person to person. That fact alone makes it very difficult to find his PMF on your own. This one key achievement of hers will determine the future growth and profitability of the startup. That’s why we’re excited to have Greylock Partners general and his partner David Thacker join us for the TechCrunch Early Stage on April 20th in Boston, Massachusetts.
In the aptly named session “How to Find Product and Market Fit,” Thacker shares the basics, describes the processes involved, and addresses challenges. Given his extensive experience in the recession, he could touch on why PMFs are even more important in economic headwinds.
I have a question. That’s why we believe Thacker is the right person to help you understand and find your Product-Market Fit when you need it most.
Greylock partner David Thacker invests in founders building productivity tools, front office software, and vertical SaaS, in addition to marketplaces and games. During the previous economic downturn, he played a key role in several successful investments such as his Redfin, Pandora and TellApart.
