That's what PMF is about, innit?

You need to find the target market where a 15m delay is a pain point i.e. partitioning the set.

I don't personally know of any Devs who consider that a pain point, so it might be a really small target.

Trust me, I am going through the same thing, and I'm constantly questioning whether this yet to be released product has a big enough target market. No good to me if the alpha users comprise the entire target market, so I'm ready to pivot the moment they say "this is great, but we don't have budget/use this less great free thing/can't get approval/will sign up next year/etc".

That's all code for "this isn't a pain point for us."




Product-market-fit is about having the right product. If you consider changing the market I guess this is about PMF, but most people think about PMF as changing the product. So, I'm trying to find the correct way to market to the developers (and companies) who really need my product. For what it's worth, it has the core features of all the incumbents, just better. So there is a market (unless none of those companies have reached PMF).
