The 6-Month Execution Roadmap: From Zero to Product-Market Fit

How to use Forge AI's 6-Month Execution module to plan and ship toward product-market fit.

7 min read · May 20, 2026

Six months is the right horizon for an early-stage startup. Long enough to ship something real. Short enough to feel urgent.

Month 1-2: validate and build V1

Validation, MVP scoping, and shipping a V1 to the first 10 users.

Month 3-4: ship, learn, iterate

Onboard users, watch what they actually do, and iterate the product based on real behavior.

Month 5-6: distribution and revenue

Activate distribution channels, convert free users to paid, and earn the right to raise.
