Forget Product-Market Fit if you don’t get this right first.

Most founders don’t fail because of bad ideas.

They fail because they get too excited and waste time (and sometimes money) building something too big based on hunches and guesses, instead of data and insights.

But before your product can sell, it needs to matter to someone.
