Achieving Product-Market Fit for an EdTech Startup in 90 Days
Client Profile
A pre-seed edtech startup building an AI tutoring platform for K-12 students in India.
The Challenge
The founders had built a feature-rich platform but had no clear ICP, inconsistent engagement metrics, and were burning cash on acquisition channels that weren't converting.
Our Approach
Nirji ran a 90-day product-market fit sprint: customer discovery interviews with 50+ parents and students, cohort analysis of existing users, pricing experiments, and channel testing across 6 acquisition channels.
Solution Delivered
Identified the core ICP (urban parents of Grade 8-10 students preparing for competitive exams), simplified the product to 3 core features, and achieved 40% week-over-week retention.
