    I met a YC founder who raised $6M, but kept the team to 5 people. He took a year to launch— then grew 100x to $5M ARR in 2 years: Josh R. built Gusto into a $9.5B company— by selling payroll software to SMBs. He hit $500K ARR a year after he launched— then 10x’d to $5M ARR the year after. Last year, he hit $500M in revenue. He didn’t blitzscale. He didn’t serve a massive market. He didn’t obsess over growth. He served a super niche market— newly formed Californian companies that had <5 full-time employees. He raised a $6M seed round— but didn’t spend it. He didn’t move upmarket like everyone else—he stuck with SMB‘s. He just “built a product people loved”. By the time they raised their $20M Series A, they were only 10-15 people. With $5M in revenue and 10K+ SMB customers— they were in full control. Finding product-market fit is WAY easier said than done, but here’s what’s clear to me: You don’t need more bodies. You don’t need more features. You don’t need more budget. You just need to find a product that customers pull from your hands. /// Listen to the full episode on The Product Market Fit Show #startups #founders #venturecapital
