PMF Assessment

Intermediate 🚀 Startup / VC

Definition

The process of determining whether you've achieved product-market fit—usually involving delusional founders, skeptical board members, and contradictory metrics.

Example Usage

Our PMF assessment shows strong engagement metrics, high NPS, and positive customer feedback, though our churn rate suggests otherwise.

Origin

Modern startup strategy and metrics terminology

Fun Fact

The most reliable PMF indicator is not metrics but whether customers proactively refer new users without incentives; everything else is noise
