Event "product market fit" feels like a sugar-coated way to say that no one is interested in purchasing your product.I don't have a startup, but if I did I would view every single step in the process of creating one, both technical and non-technical, as an opportunity to test the market viability of your product.I'm honestly surprised at the abundance of non-product-viability issues that were cited as determining factors. Maybe this reality is hard to face?

Imo there is a product+price market fit, just lacking the ego fit.
