Product-Market Fit

What Is Product-Market Fit?

Product-Market Fit is the point where your product consistently solves a clear problem for a defined customer segment, resulting in repeatable usage, retention, and organic pull. In B2B, PMF is visible in behavior, not opinions.

For B2B SaaS, PMF is not a one-time milestone. It evolves with each segment you penetrate. Use these three signals:

  1. Retention Strength
    Customers stay without being chased.
  2. Expansion Pull
    Upsell happens because customers ask for more.
  3. Pipeline Efficiency
    Deals in your core ICP close faster and with fewer objections.

PMF is fragile. Many startups “lose” PMF after scaling the wrong segment.

“PMF isn’t a survey metric. It’s a behavioral truth. When PMF is real, sales feels easier and marketing feels obvious.”
