What this question trains
This question tests your understanding of one of the most important early-stage startup concepts in SaaS and broader technology investing. You need to explain how investors think about the match between a product and the market it serves, then recognize the kinds of customer behavior that suggest real demand rather than temporary interest. Interviewers ask this because product-market fit is often the difference between a company that can scale efficiently and one that struggles despite having a good idea.
