In this “Lessons” episode, Shirish Nadkarni, author of From Startup to Exit, breaks down what it really takes to find product-market fit — and why timing, validation, and adaptability can make or break a startup. Drawing from his own journey through three successful exits, he shares how he raised $15 million pre-revenue during the dot-com boom, learned the hard way that great ideas fail without market readiness, and turned a struggling concept into a company eventually acquired by BlackBerry. Learn how founders can identify the right problems to solve, test demand before building, and recognize when it’s time to pivot, raise, or exit strategically.
