Ep. 112 - Stumbling onto product market fit by accident – with Morten Poulsen, CEO of Plytix
Description
Originally, the founders of Plytix set out to create an analytics platform for e-commerce that measured the performance of a product (instead of a website) so brands could see how end users interact with them, even when sold on a third-party website.
But even after positive early traction and investment, they were stalled—many of the brands didn’t have their product information at the ready.
So, they built a simple source of truth—a Product Information Management (PIM) so they could get access to the product information that they needed.
As it turns out, that was the larger need from SMBs—a PIM they could afford.
After realizing the broader market opportunity, Plytix leaders made some hard choices and pivoted.
