Description

Today, we dive deep into product-market fit in the data center industry, examining the three strategic approaches that define success or failure, and why understanding your market position has never been more critical in an era of increasingly selective capital.​

In this recording, we'll review:

  • The three core approaches to product-market fit: product-led, market-led, and founder-led strategies
  • Why founder-led "super groups" carry the highest risk despite their initial appeal
  • How build-to-suit strategies can trap you into being "anything to anyone"
  • The critical importance of radical focus and why it must fit on a sticky note
  • Why timing matters as much as product innovation
  • How smart money is getting pickier and passing on deals at faster rates
  • The fundamental shift from "if you build it, they will come" to rigorous market validation

And much more.
