The 3 Pre-Launch Fits in
the 7 Fits Startup Framework

A startup cannot create business value if it cannot first create value for its customers.

To guarantee customer value, a startup first needs to deliver a solution that is viable, desirable, feasible and usable, the parameters present in the 3 pre-launch fits of our 7 Fits Product-Market Fit Framework.

From startup idea validation to building an MVP, the 3 pre-launch fits include the phases a startup needs to go through to make sure they are tackling a big enough problem of a meaningfully big customer segment with a good enough solution. Find out more in our Library of Startup Resources.
