What Is Product–Market Fit (PMF)❓
Product–Market Fit (PMF) means:
📌 You’ve built something people really want — and are actively using or buying.

It’s not about having a product.
It’s about having a product that fits a specific market's deep need.

❕ Signs You Have Product–Market Fit:

🔻Users return on their own

🔻Customers refer others without being asked

🔻You struggle to keep up with demand

🔻Growth feels pulled, not pushed

You're spending less effort convincing — more effort delivering

❌ What It's Not:

🔴Getting your first few users

🔴Hitting a follower goal

🔴Friends saying “cool idea”

💭 Key Insight:
You don’t find PMF with polish.
You find it by solving a painful, urgent problem — for the right people.
