Forethought AI’s Journey to Product-Market Fit: Insights from Build Mode Podcast
In the inaugural episode of TechCrunch’s Build Mode podcast, host Isabelle Johannessen engages with Deon Nicholas, co-founder of Forethought AI, to explore the foundational steps necessary for building a company that resonates with customers from the outset.
Build Mode is TechCrunch’s latest podcast series that delves into the real-world challenges and strategies involved in startup development. Season 1, titled Product, Meet Market, goes beyond the traditional concept of product-market fit, examining every facet of delivering a product to customers. This includes identifying the appropriate audience, establishing trust, and transforming initial traction into sustained growth.
From its inception, Nicholas and his team at Forethought AI prioritized addressing genuine problems over pursuing industry hype or inflated valuations. This customer-centric approach has been instrumental in their journey toward achieving product-market fit.
Episodes of Build Mode are released every Thursday. Listeners can subscribe on platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or their preferred podcast services. Additionally, a video version is available on TechCrunch’s YouTube channel.
