--------------


Many early stage companies hustle to find product market fit hoping to get lucky. They launch the tech, get a bunch of early customers - and hope that they find the market. Hustle without a plan, hope without a strategy, doesn’t work. 


This bootcamp offers an alternative.


Master the PMF Five Factors Framework, a market driven structured approach to:


1. Figure out the right customer to target

2. Position your product offering, not just tech

3. Establish your category point of view

4. Lay out your go-to-market pathways

5. Assess the key talent you need 


Tie it all together with a plan ready to test in the market. 


This cohort-based course includes teaching, peer feedback, frameworks, worksheets & resources in live sessions with Anurag to prepare your value story and an actionable PMF plan.

This course is for you IF...

01

You're an early or growth stage B2B Tech Founder who knows the hustle.


You need to speed up your PMF plan for lean times.

02

03

Growth Coach & Advisor

I have 35+ years of experience as an entrepreneur and executive at companies like Google and Procter & Gamble


Now, I am an advisor to fast growing tech companies across the globe. I’ve coached 100+ tech founders, product & GTM operators. My two passions are storytelling and sense making. These help me generate insights and create frameworks to help others grow their business. 


I’ve done six startups ranging from zero-$100MM+


I have been a tech founder, run P&L, owned product management, built global marketing teams and created solutions up-and-down the software tech stack: from cloud [Google Cloud] to data infrastructure [Siperian:Informatica], to APIs [Apigee] to SaaS apps [LivePerson, Omada Health]. 


Beyond startups, I was the CMO at two public SaaS companies (LivePerson, Apigee); and have been part of one IPO and two M&As

Why I started this course 


In my experience, entrepreneurs take on the PMF challenge in two ways. An inside-out approach: build an MVP and then test it with a few users or customers. Or outside-in: find a few customers and build what they want. Both have their blind spots. 


I’ve created this course based on my experience in combining inside-out and outside-in approaches which speed up market discovery and reduce risks.


I have profound respect for tech entrepreneurs. They are the brave souls who dare to innovate. I love the experience of guiding them through the PMF terrain, since I’ve done it many times.
