(Though they\u2019re distinct from one another, he notes that companies don\u2019t move through them overnight. \u201cThey require months or even years or rewiring, with the old adage of \u2018What got you here isn\u2019t what gets you there\u2019 serving as your guiding light,\u201d he says.)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"Block ListBlock -role--unordered\" data-seen=\"true\">\n<li>\n<p id=\"text_72a7fbdefe0f444db77bb088d26badb1\" class=\"Block TextBlock -align--left -role--paragraph\" data-seen=\"true\"><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\"><a class=\"Annotation -link\" href=\"https:\/\/firstround.com\/review\/how-to-craft-your-product-team-at-every-stage-from-pre-product-market-fit-to-hypergrowth\/#text_e33215464e7748459ae4afdd8662dd1b\">Phase 1: \u201cDrunken walk.\u00bb<\/a><\/strong> The company\u2019s goal is to experiment as much as possible to find product\/market fit. Product is tasked with painting the founder\u2019s vision, and is working as more of a service or project management function.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p id=\"text_8e918c74e3c44c2993f6b373ec1e383f\" class=\"Block TextBlock -align--left -role--paragraph\" data-seen=\"true\"><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\"><a class=\"Annotation -link\" href=\"https:\/\/firstround.com\/review\/how-to-craft-your-product-team-at-every-stage-from-pre-product-market-fit-to-hypergrowth\/#text_9f5a5b130b974499b9d1d1a234b534f5\">Phase 2: Product\/market fit.<\/a><\/strong> It\u2019s time to double down on what\u2019s working. As founders get more busy scaling the company, product\u2019s role is to own collaboration with other teams and drive communication while predictably delivering releases to improve the product.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p id=\"text_afd3284d841740d28ab0be5f998295c7\" class=\"Block TextBlock -align--left -role--paragraph\" data-seen=\"true\"><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\"><a class=\"Annotation -link\" href=\"https:\/\/firstround.com\/review\/how-to-craft-your-product-team-at-every-stage-from-pre-product-market-fit-to-hypergrowth\/#text_db6b71c136454a5f8e635f5a56c86920\">Phase 3: Hypergrowth.<\/a><\/strong> This stage is about innovating while scaling the existing product. The product team needs to articulate the strategic roadmap, translating the mission and long-term vision of the company across multiple quarters. This requires a blend of introducing new products and supporting existing successful ones, while starting to add a new layer of team leadership that can make decisions on their own.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-800 wp-image-4114\" src=\"http:\/\/silta.es\/juantatay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/NBSKdXDPTsSv86QCYgOa_Nikhyl-Singhal-Chart.001-800x500-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<ul class=\"Block ListBlock -role--unordered\" data-seen=\"true\">\n<li>\n<p id=\"text_5d66874157c34a508e20e4d0b0552f02\" class=\"Block TextBlock -align--left -role--paragraph\" data-seen=\"true\"><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Phase 4: Scale.<\/strong> Company becomes market leader (think FAANG). \u201cInside the building\u201d problems stack up, focus shifts to sustaining growth and the innovator\u2019s dilemma becomes most acute.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote id=\"text_1d72bf9051e64f70a95e4efb91ae352d\" class=\"Block TextBlock -align--left -role--quote\" tabindex=\"1\" data-share_enabled=\"true\" data-seen=\"true\">\n<blockquote id=\"text_0f9c9ac2a04347429695c28df25d2578\" class=\"Block TextBlock -align--left -role--quote\" tabindex=\"1\" data-share_enabled=\"true\" data-seen=\"true\"><p>Hypergrowth is about scaling the core business and expanding your offerings simultaneously.
