Think the critique at 2:00 is a straw man. Seems clear that the spirit of that comment was about P/M fit. Find smth unique and of value that you can bring to the table. I.e. don’t do smth software or others can do bttr/cheaper. Pretty much what Schwarzman (Blackstone) said at SGS

He was presenting it like this: “First, determine the unique product you’re going to bring to the table.” But, my whole point is that it needs to be: “First, look at what the market is hungry for, and bring that to the table.”

This is why I'm not a fan of the pm-fit model. Too often, it puts the cart before the horse. You could be the best at making foie gras, but that won't matter if the market only wants
.
Sure, you can bring foie gras to the table, but that doesn't mean folks will eat it.2 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 0 polubionych -
1/2 I think you’ll have a hard time finding anyone in this industry worth their salt that wld disagrees w this thesis. (Only Andy Rachleff comes to mind.) But I think that you accidentally misrepresented Damodaran, unless I got it wrong, and PMF (if we go by Andreessen’s def).

2/2 But it’s a valid point worth emphasizing because it’s very counterintuitive. (This does show the problem with our ill-defined vernacular in this field. We need a more mathematical approach where the definitions are very precise such that we can form falsifiable propositions)

I think you need both an unmet need in the market and a unique product/service that is not easily replicable to succeed. I believe that the latter is scarcer than the former, because data has made it more difficult to hide what you are doing & imitation has become easier.

Yup! I agree: once you identify the demand then your unique skills, attributes, product quality, leverage, connections, and resources all matter.
However, I think the order matters:
1. Market first
2. Then product/service
(I mentioned that in the video as well)
