Thanks for the shoutout Ben! Thanks for calling out all the misused definitions of PMF and the fact that it's not a checkbox that you tick and forget. All founders should read this.

How do we get all founders to read this? <-- that would be PMF for Focused Chaos (or at least close!)

Thanks for the comment, and for the analysis you did of FB's PMF definition. It was great.

Hahah, this just went full meta (no-pun intended). Can try distributing on Hacker News, Product Hunt, subreddits like /r/startups etc.?

Really well covered. Agree that organic growth / high NPS are not sole determinants of PMF, but it is likely that when PMF is achieved there is a lot of Pull and not just Push.

Agreed. Market pull is a good indicator of PMF. But not “I got my first referral, I have PMF.” Or, “Three inbound leads today, I’ve won.”
