LEVELBasic Understanding
Most companies will never find product market fit. Even externally successful companies struggle with finding the right product for the right customer at the right time. Rob will discuss how to pivot with a singular eye on solving real pain points. Figuring out "what keeps his customers up at night" and overlapping professional and personal experiences to find and testing pain points and solutions short cycles the years it takes to create products or services people love.
