On Lenny's Podcast, Rob Snyder, author of The Power of Pull, argues that product-market fit means finding people with PULL—a Project, Unavoidable now, whose List of options have Limitations—who rip the product from your hands. Snyder, who has helped 50+ startups reach $1M ARR, says stake out a PULL hypothesis from firsthand immersion. He recommends founder-magic cold outreach ("Snoop Dogg invested in us"), five-call tests, and cites Jump winning financial advisors who could go to jail without CRM notes. He warns against design partners, pilots, and building first, prescribing the Hail Mary question and goblin mode—Teero's parents door-knocked dental offices. Retention means finding the X after which churn is weird—a startup is a case-study factory repeating one hell-yes customer.
