Jason Alan Scott talks about the moment he knew his startup had product market fit, and how pricing strategy shaped customer acquisition. He shares the concrete signals that told him the product was working.

Made it through the application. Can you do a quick call with them?
And I'd jump on and I'd do.
The call and I'd see if they hit my metrics and then I put.
