"The Innovator's Secret Formula"

Learn the Secret of  Product-Market Fit
"The only thing that matters"

Welcome to the Age of Hyper-innovation where new innovative products are designed, created, and launched faster than ever before. Yet most new products fail because they are not products that people actually want to buy

 
What if you had a Secret Formula that could predict how successful your new product will be in each of its target markets?  What if you had a new way to look, not just at your new product development process, but at your entire product innovation strategy?
 
Welcome to
The Innovator’s Secret Formula which introduces the new Quantitative Product-Market Fit (QPMF) framework, a breakthrough method for designing highly profitable, market-leading products that have high Product-Market Fit (PMF).  Product-Market Fit is so critical for success that it has been called “the only thing that matters.  But until now, no one has clearly defined what Product-Market Fit actually is, how to achieve it, how to measure it, or how to use it for strategic advantage.
 
Drawing on decades of experience working with innovative companies and venture-backed start-ups in Silicon Valley and across the country, the authors finally share their Secret Formula for creating profitable, award-winning breakthrough products.

"Finding product/market fit is the goal for all startups. But finding product/market fit that crushes your competitors and builds lasting competitive advantage is what winners do. The Innovator’s Secret Formula shows you how."
 

Steve Blank, Adjunct professor Stanford University,
Senior Innovation Fellow at Columbia University
 

 

"The quality of a startup's product can be defined as how impressive the product is to one customer or user who actually uses it: How easy is the product to use? How feature rich is it? How fast is it? How extensible is it? How polished is it? How many (or rather, how few) bugs does it have?
 
The only thing that matters is getting to product/market fit.   Because, really, what else could it possibly be?"

 
- Marc Andreessen, Co-Founder Andreessen Horowitz

 - Mark Achler, Managing Director, MATH Venture Partners

 
"The authors start the first chapter with, “Disruption comes to us all.” I doubt they knew how true their words would ring in 2020, and yet they provide timeless insights coupled with tested structure to enable all of us to create profitable (i.e. valuable) innovations in the daily disruption facing us today."

Through brilliant examples, from Michael Jordan to Crisco, and new analytics, you have a better shot at being the disruptor, not the disrupted."

- Kevin P. Taylor, Business Professor, Serial Entrepreneur, Angel Investor
