This framework created by Sequoia is described here<\/a>. The article is very interesting, I suggest you to read it if this is an interesting topic to you (because you work in Venture Capital or if you are trying to seeking financing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding product-market fit is key for every early-stage startup. Sequoia walks founders through this following framework during the analysis they do for pre-seed and seed stage companies (Arc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, yes I did a map, but in addition to it, I modified some basic elements of the map to make it fit with the table above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
