Most people describe finding product-market fit as an art, not a science. But when it comes to sales-led B2B, we’ve reverse engineered a method to find it. We’ve worked with some of the world’s most iconic enterprise founders and turned what they did in their first six months into a series of tactical sessions for taking a straighter path to PMF.
- Unearth what customers are truly willing to pay for
Stop asking questions that get the answers you want to hear. Learn proven techniques to get to the truth of what customers really need — and what they’ll buy.
- Build a product that can become a big business
Validate that your product insight has a credible path to at least $100M in ARR within ~8 years by examining the dynamics of the market, not just its size or growth potential.
- Land your first enterprise contracts
Sign your first few design partners, iterate with them and begin to build what can become a repeatable go-to-market approach.
- Find your people
Building a company is lonely. There’s no cure like working alongside a tight group of other top 1% B2B founders at your same stage.
- Get hard-earned insights from founders of $1B+ B2B companies
Learn from founders who are where you want to be. They'll reveal inflection points and share the tactics they used to get unstuck along their paths to product-market fit.
Beyond the sessions
MEET THE TEAm
At First Round, we've been investing in pre-product-market fit companies for 20 years. We backed Square, Notion, Together, Verkada and Looker when they were just a couple of founders still figuring out how to build something customers needed.
