Understanding Product-Market Fit and Metrics

Product-market fit is a crucial concept for startups and requires a balance of data and intuition. Metrics and leading indicators can provide insights into product-market fit. One approach is to ask customers how disappointed they would be if they couldn't use the product. A benchmark of 40% or more of customers saying they would be very disappointed indicates product-market fit. Superhuman used this approach and continues to measure it. They also consider qualitative factors, such as the feeling that the market is pulling the product out of their hands. Onboarding specialists play a key role in helping customers reach value quickly and establish a strong foundation.
