Founder Lesson
Since product-market fit is maybe the most important step in a new startup, deciding what to test and what initial product to create becomes pretty important. I find that most founders do the “kitchen sink” method of including everything. This methods takes too much time and money. Another group goes the Lean Startup route and tries to do the bare minimum. While this is maybe the more clever way to go, this can yield little usable data without doing enough product.

In this podcast, an experienced founder describes his experiences with the second group. Many times new “products” can be so small that they tell you very little about product-market fit.

If you are particularly interested in product, here are all my blog posts tagged "product." Enjoy!
