      To everyone who asked me to recommend a book on product marketing, this is for you.

      And to Chris, Anya, and Taryn, thank you for supporting me while I wrote it.

      All my royalties from this book are being donated to organizations supporting the advancement of women and underrepresented minorities in tech. Our world is better when tech products are built by the people they serve.

      In INSPIRED, I argued that the single most important concept in all of product is the concept of product/market fit.

      For startups, achieving product/market fit, including and especially the go-to-market strategy for that product, is really the only thing that matters.

      But the reward for reaching product/market fit is growth, and growth brings its own challenges.

      Moreover, as the company grows, we typically evolve our product to address the needs of additional markets, and usually we soon begin work on new products as well, so the critical concepts of product/market fit and growth remain at the heart of product work for the life of a technology-powered company.

      INSPIRED described the techniques we use to discover a product that is valuable, usable, feasible, and viable, and the book discussed how this requires an intense collaboration between product management, product design, and engineering.

      But while discovering a winning solution may be necessary, it is not sufficient.

      We have all seen countless examples of products that go nowhere because:

       the product doesn't address real customer needs

       or, there aren't enough customers with those needs

       or, those customers do exist, but not enough of them learn your product exists

       or even if they do find you, they don't see how what you provide aligns with their needs
