PMF
PMF (product-market fit) means a product successfully meets a strong demand in a specific market, achieving sustained user growth and business returns.
How it works
It usually means the product has found a core user base willing to pay for it or use it frequently. Reaching PMF is the key turning point for a startup moving from early exploration to scalable growth, and an important indicator of whether the product is truly valuable.
