This is one of the most comprehensive PMF models I have come across. It was built for B2B but I would argue that it is relevant for B2C. Obtaining PMF in B2C requires as much discipline and rigor. It's NOT just "about having great taste and finding the right thing at the right time and it's like catching lightning in a bottle." The 4-Ps, rigor, and balancing art and science apply across B2B and B2C, equally. Great job overall!

The fact that Founders spend a lot of their time building but very little time "picking" is super counterintuitive. It reminded me of the James Clear quote
"You don't need to worry about progressing slowly. You need to worry about climbing the wrong mountain." Great founders spend a long time in the "idea maze" noodling on the problem before launching in. I really hope this course helps many find the way through the second half.
