Are you product market fit? Find out how to find it on TC Early Stage

Achieving product-market fit (PMF) is arguably both the #1 strategic goal and the biggest challenge for early-stage founders. Reaching this critical milestone signals to you and any investors you hope to attract that there is consistent and enthusiastic demand for your product.

Everyone defines PMF differently, and that alone makes finding yours a real challenge. This crucial achievement determines your startup's future growth and profitability, which is why we're thrilled to have David Thacker, General Partner of Greylock Partners, join us at TechCrunch Early Stage on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts.

In his session, aptly titled “How to Find the Product-Market Fit,” Thacker will share the fundamentals, explain the processes involved, and address the challenges. Given his extensive experience building in downturns, he'll likely explain why PMF is even more important in headwinds.
