First of all, you got to be very clear about the problem that you are solving. And I think you have to feel as a founder, a connection to that problem. Have to be the customer because I think products are incubated and grow in phases. And phase one is that you're using it and the team is using it and that you have product team fit.

And then I think once you cross that boundary, then I think you could go to like product friends fit. And then I think once you cross that boundary and it's working amongst your friends or network of close customers, Then I think you slowly start expanding it. But it's the idea of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks is a very soulless effort. I don't subscribe to that.

Product market fit is a constant iterative process because as the product grows, it sort of faces new challenges at scale.
