Find Product Market Fit [How To In 5 Steps]

12:23 "Now stop watching and go build something" LoL, when most other channels ask to watch yet another this or that video, you encourage entrepreneurs to stop watching and start building. That commands respect and deep desire to smash those "like" and "subscribe" buttons.

Hey, Helini Thank You so much for being here. I think now I have a YT mentor. My start-up is a new idea that has the potential for global growth in the service sector and we will provide different kinds of products for 2 customer segments. Do you have any tips for businesses with multiple features?

[@RawStartup]

I don't know exactly what you're building so this is more generic advice. If at all possible build only for one segment. Focus like crazy and win that segment, then you can expand it later.

[@Uncutwith_Rudra]

Thanks u

[@RawStartup]

Welcome!

[@jpbelmont]

Good video. So. I have a question: what do you suggest when you say: “be careful when you are acquiring users quickly because it can affect your active user metric”. How can we solve this? This is happening to us. We acquired like 400 users in a week and the active users go up… but then down. How can we start analyzing this to not be confused?

[@RawStartup]

I think you just need to be aware of it. Let's say you get 1000 users from a press piece, just be aware that your relative MAU may go down and that is ok. Don't change the product because you think something was wrong with the product, in reality it was some bad users that came in.

[@hoolestperformancetechnolo4400]

Hi Heini! Just recently found your channel and been consuming these videos. Very helpful! In this video at 4:55, your third bullet point says "get the mvp in front of customers as quickly as possible". How did you figure out which market segment you wanted to launch/market Vivino to? Did you test the mvp with various customer segments at the same time and assess which segments found the most value in it? And then allocate resources to marketing to that specific segment? Maybe you could make a future video to help founders learn how to identify the right beachhead market segment when there are many possible market segments to focus on! Especially for medtech hardware companies like my own;)

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, this a big question. The short answer is to find the people that need your product the most. Not the biggest group, not the smallest group, but the group that needs your product the most. They are the ones that are most hungry for this and will be willing to live with the problems that a young product has. Their pain is so big that they will accept a lot of imperfection.

[@sunshine124422]

love your vids...been developing an mvp for 3 years....prob back to front...now i need to find a mvm ...minimul viable market...sometimes the five steps can come in any order ? what do you think ?

[@RawStartup]

I think you probably need to get the product out there, show it to people as and learn from that.

[@josim8908]

Always great content! Do you ever do any seed/angel investing?

Hii sir, Your vidoe was so informative for me because only through yt videos and Google research, I can learn more and more about entrepreneurship. I have a startup idea which is to provide maid service to the houses . I couldn't start this idea until i complete my high schools. So there are few more companies like my idea who provide maids but I never copied my idea from them infact I got to know about all the companies after i searched on Google. I got demotivated because before I start an idea someone else did it . Can you please guide me that CAN I SURVIVE IN THIS COMPETITION IF I START THE IDEA I HAVE AFTER FEW YEARS??? THANK YOU❤🙏

[@uxiofraga6413]

May I ask a question? On the release cycle: You are talking about releasing new features for the one product you have. Does make sense to release alternative versions of the main product or complementary independent services too? (My product is not an app, but a solid physical object). Fantastic video! Thanks a lot!

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, yes it is different for physical non software products. I guess you could compare new versions to new releases in software.

I don‘t use Vivino to tell me if I like a particular wine. I haven‘t done so since I started using the app (9 years ago). I just use it to take a note for myself (usually just to remember if I should buy that wine again). Is Vivino actually solving a much easier problem than telling me if a wine is good/bad? Would you agree that problem/ solution thinking is overrated vs. simple usage statistics?

[@RawStartup]

Well this is interesting, in the beginning that was our product market fit. Never forget another wine. However that is a much smaller use case, just fewer users. Our growth really exploded when we were able to say if a wine is good or not so good.

How do you put MVP in front of customers quickly?

“There’s no point in making a product that people use once and throw away”… condoms; “am I a joke to you???” 😅 sorry was just a funny thought when I heard you say that line haha

[@infogsmerz4u760]

Hi Heini, Davide here! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I can imagine that at the very beginning of your journey with Vivino you had ratings based on really few reviews/people. How did you gain retention/trust in this situation? I mean, as user I would not "trust" your ratings if these were mostly based on let's say only 2 people. In other words: how did you manage at that time to populate your database with reviews and hence ratings so that you were confident enough to put your MVP out there? This seems to me a classic "chicken and egg problem". People first and ratings after, or ratings first and people after? Further I was wondering where you launched your MPV: in Denmark or directly world wide? In English or Danish? Thanks.

[@RawStartup]

I think the trust part is hard, you can't really rush that, you build it over time. What you can do is do things manually while you're still building stuff. For example we really didn't know many wines in the beginning and therefore the "machine" couldn't match many wines. Instead we matched them manually. Had a team that just did it by hand. So try and give your users whatever value you can, even it if includes manual work. We launched globally and with our product I think it was the right decision at the time. Really depends on the product.

[@TheSamifaiyaz]

Hello! Been watching your videos and have learnt just so much! I was wondering if you had an email for this channel, to possibly help answer some questions regarding start up equity finance and it’s structures?

Hi, I hope my question is answer, because am watching this very late😭😭 But my question is, i have competitors already in my product, and there are doing well, do i still need to go out there and ask questions on the product

[@RawStartup]

Not sure I understand. I would say if there are a lot of similar products you will need less validation.

[@David_tommy]

@@RawStartup sorry let me try and simplify it. In this video u say something about, when starting out, and the problem your solving it's not inline with what you do, we should go out and ask the audience that inline with the product. Now am saying they is a software already in the space solving this same problem, and doing very well interms of retention and usage and have little or no competition, and wanted going after this also, but make mind better. Am I go to go??? Anticipating for your response... Thanks
