Questions to ask when joining a startup
product market fit
- do you have product market fit? How do you know?
- press them on this, and see if they're honest about the parts that they don't know yet.
- what theses are they betting on (and what bets haven't played out yet?)
- what are you prioritizing, product roadmap wise, for next 6-24 months? why?
- more importantly, what are you NOT prioritizing and why?
- See: https://www.growthengblog.com/blog/the-best-metric-for-determining-quantitative-product-market-fit
- https://www.growthengblog.com/blog/the-best-metric-for-determining-quantitative-product-market-fit
- how well do they know the user / customer / pain point?
- their head of product / founder they should be able to answer all of your questions (just ask "why" 3-4 times and go down different rabbit holes) - it's a red flag if you as an outsider ask a question they haven't though about already
