Getting to product/market fit (aka the inflection point in the hockey-stick curve when a product's traction starts rapidly growing) is one of the most significant milestones for a startup. The challenge, of course, is that product/market fit takes roughly 2 years on average to achieve and 80% of products never make it.

Why do R&D labs succeed in creating new technology, but fail at bringing these innovations to market? R&D labs don’t bring new innovations to market typically because they are charged with inventing new technology, but not the commercialization of those inventions. However, innovation requires bringing inventions to market.
