How have only 500K people viewed this in the past 3+ years? It's literally a competitive advantage to be in the 500K group of people that have viewed this presentation!

If I had to recommend just one talk about startups to someone, this would be it! This guy is such a natural presenter and so practical. Kudos!

I love how he summarizes every question before answering to it ❤️

If you wanna be an entrepeneur you could literally throw away 5 years of college instead of this masterpiece seminar, no joke.

I think he meant the first line of code was done in 2006, not 2016.

Just randomly came accross this and truly the best startup talk I have heard. Great getting away from the theoretical and in to the practical.

One of the best talks I’ve seen on startups. And a clinic on how to present material. I’m just left to wonder how much younger he could have looked in 2006.

The part which resonates with me the most is, we like to say "This is so hard but it's because we are doing hard things". It does not always hold especially on PMF part. If you are feeling every step being hard, it implies you are not doing right. The right feeling is everything should be easy.

By far one of the best talks on Product Market Fit. You'll know when you're here when every piece of this talk resonates.

This is the best one so far in the series.

Damn, this talk made me feel better about my startup

This is the BEST seminar i've ever watched! thank you

This session is on repeat. David is a genius. A great business man.

This is a brilliant talk! Cleared up so many things for me. Thank you David & YC!

Awesome! The phrase i loved the most was " Minimum Remarkable Product".

This is gold! I have been over cooking my products and not focusing properly on the process. Great advice that I'll align too.

it's good that David repeat the questions from audience, i hardly can't hear their questions

Now I understand why most people aren't successful, only 100k views . This KZfaq channel is better than Harvard

What a smart and humble guy. Much admiration.

This is probably the best video in the entire YC library!

Most talks about product market fix is vague. Love how detailed this is.

One of the best YC talks ever. So many lessons.

Product market fit is key, even if it’s one simple function that works better than anything else out there. Continuously iterate, building and engaging in unbiased user testing. When there is product market fit, growth will be positive and rapid without any ad spending required.

David Rusenko is so great person, giving this great and informative video. Thank you!

The fact that this is free is insane

First time to understand the difference between market fit and product market fit. Thank you very much.

That moment when in front of 1000 people you can name and shame the dude who wrote you off in front of a 1000 people and you do that so nonchalantly and casually that you do not even acknowledge the dude's worth. Pure savage! That is success 🏆🏅👑.

This is the best video on YCs KZfaq channel. But y’all not paying attention.

best talk so far. Very informative.

This contains not just one but several actually useful thoughts . Go watch till the end, you won't regret it.

One of the most valuable videos on KZfaq right here.

He nailed every single part of this. Very impressive.

Learnt so much from this video. So much lesson to learn and I am actually through this phase. This is what value looks like

i literally just fall in love with this guy's thought process, so freakin relatable!

Really enjoying listening to this talk. Best.

35:10 "Listen to the problems but don't ignore their solutions!" Don't ignore! Listen to their solutions to better understand their problem.

R.I.P David. Gone way before your time.

He points out the importance of Product Market Fit very well. What I dislike is he seems to present people a recipe how to get there, meaning he has found the truth to the problem of Product Market fit. It is way more nuanced & complicated than to simply score high on NPS. Michael Seibel's way of cleaning up the misconceptions people have on founding a company is much more of a guidance, at least for me. Nonetheless great insights by Rusenko (to keep it short).

This is so helpful and intense. Full run of the video is more 3-4 hours since this is condensed into 1 as David speaks real fast (common trait of the VC/entrepreneurs)

The most informative video i have come across, thank you so much!

this is great and very helpful for start up and existing companies which needs pivoting because of decliing sales

THIS IS ABSOLUTE GOLD

Thanks for putting these great contents on your channel. It feels like in an accelerator.

Such an insightful talk by David Rusenko. Thank you so much.

What is the idea of Weebly ? Website creation ? Hosting ? That idea existed ever since internet was existed. There were dozens of website creation platforms even back in 1999s. Weebly just took the same idea and modernized it with refreshed design. It was a matter of accessing the capital and only a few people has that privilege in the whole world.

for the producers, please keep the focus on the slides for a bit longer. he had a decent amount of text on his slides and i had to continuously pause (disrupt flow) the video in order to read what he wrote.

I'm really curious what they (Weebly) were doing wrong and how they changed that things to achieve product market fit

My new answer for "Who's your favorite entrepreneur?": David Rusenko

I love your explanation and simple slides with awesome data sir! Thank you for very useful speech!

Very thorough lecture. Really impressed

Simply insightful. Thanks for making this public.

Very interesting and useful presentation!

I wish I can like this video more than once like on Medium

Very insightful video. This is definitely worth transcribing.

I would be interested in how to acquiring customers. This is the ultimate challenge. You can have the best and the worst product but you need customers to develop it into something valuable!

One of the best product fit session out there!

What a bright young man.

This presentation is wonderful, very useful.

Great Business advice. Keep up the good work. Thank You, Natasha Samuel

Very informative video. Thank you for the presentation easy to understand.

This was awesome. Thank-you David

Thank you for your insight. Such clarity in a nutshell. You are genial !!

Engaging speaker, tons of great info.

Thank your so much David and y combinator for this knowledge

This was a great talk. I enjoyed it. Thanks YC!

Brilliant talk, brilliant speaker!

Thank you for the super helpful insights!

I really enjoyed this talk, really well done, thanks!

Phenomenal! Super informative and straight to the point!

9:00 What caused the product market fit to catch?

Really great insights. Any idea if y combinator has market fit video for b2b startups?

I liked the idea of Minimum Remarkable Product in place of Minimum Viable Product

thank YC & David, it is very helpful

Best video I’ve seen on the topic.

This was very hands-on and helpfull

After October 2007, his product took off, yet he fails to explain why. Between August 2007 and October 2007 what did he do? That was the most critical part of the video. How on earth could you not mention anything about that?

Cool! Thanks for the great info...

great talk. Thank you for sharing this

For rapid prototyping help I'd recommend Pretotyping techniques like Albert Savoia suggests

This was awesome. Thank-you David.

Thank you David! So much value in this lecture.

Amazing insights

Sure useful and interesting!! Thank you!

great speaker with great experience!

how and where can i find my CTO for a startup company CEO/founder ? and may shares do i need give my CTO ??

Love the terse examples and stories throughout the video.

He wrote the first line of code in February 2006 not 2016.

Best YC talk!

You are awesome. Thanks for the insight.

hi,he hasn't talked about any a advertisement ,im supposing the growth its word of mouth/organic???thanks, i love all the videos!!

If I could only watch one video before starting a company, this would be that video.

Fantastic information ! Thank you

Great talk, really learn a lot

So much insight in one video

monetization is much an easier problem than product to market fit

What a great lecture!

David is fantastic.

wait. @1:54 He said he wrote the first line of code 12 years ago - in 2016 ?

This one was a great one
