Achieving growth is undeniably challenging in today's world. In fact, it is estimated that merely one in 10 companies can sustain profitable growth for a decade or longer. While there isn't a single formula for success, our experience with numerous startup founders has taught us the importance of consistency, determination, hard work, and a strong focus on the mission. By closely collaborating with founders, we gain insight into their motivations—the WHY—which allows us to select the most effective strategies and methods—the HOWs—to deliver value to customers, stakeholders, and shareholders—the WHATs.
Commonly known as 'product/market fit,' this milestone is achieved when you accurately identify your target audience and provide them with the ideal product. It is highly recommended to adopt lean and agile methodologies to optimise the likelihood of attaining product-market fit. Key steps include understanding your customers, concentrating on a single value proposition, and developing MVPs. At YJCollective, our solo freelancers and teams are well-versed in lean-agile practices (through learning and mentorship), enabling us to build, test, and iterate rapidly. Product teams must collaborate closely with founders and their teams to convert their mission and vision into a solution that addresses customer needs and validates the founder's assumptions. If unsuccessful, a pivot may be necessary.
