Welcome to the Age of Hyper-innovation where new innovative products are designed, created, and launched faster than ever before. Yet most new products fail because they are not products that people actually want to buy.
ABOUT THE BOOK
What if you had a Secret Formula that could predict how successful your new product will be in each of its target markets? What if you had a new way to look, not just at your new product development process, but at your entire product innovation strategy?
Welcome to “The Innovator’s Secret Formula,” a new book that introduces the Quantitative Product-Market Fit (QPMF) Innovation Framework, a breakthrough method for designing highly profitable, market-leading products that have high Product-Market Fit (PMF). Product-Market Fit is so critical for success that Silicon Valley investors call it “the only thing that matters.”
Drawing on decades of experience working with innovative companies and venture-backed start-ups in Silicon Valley and across the country, the authors finally share their Secret Formula for creating profitable, award-winning breakthrough products.
Advance Praise for The Innovator’s Secret Formula
