The Market-Matching Problem: Why Investors Get TAM and Growth Wrong

Investors lose millions yearly on one critical mistake: misjudging a company’s true market. When this happens, your TAM estimates, growth projections, and competitive analysis become unreliable—derailing your entire investment thesis.

The Problem: Flawed Market Matching Skews Decisions

Most companies don’t fit neatly into a single market category. For example:

1. Could a mobile commerce app belong to general e-commerce, social commerce, or a niche like gifting?

2. Is a SaaS tool HR software, payroll automation, or workforce analytics?

This isn’t just an academic error—it has real consequences. When a company is misclassified, you get:

Flawed TAM calculations (overestimating or underestimating opportunity)

Misaligned growth benchmarks (comparing a niche player to the wrong trends)

Weak competitive analysis (missing disruptors or overestimating rivals)

Since many high-potential companies defy easy categorization, traditional market-sizing methods often fail. Consequently, it leads to costly investment mistakes.

Questions that signal you've got the market wrong

To avoid misclassification, consider the following questions:

1. How many users engage with mobile commerce apps?

2. What’s the true revenue potential for the segment?

3. Does the market saturation exist, or is there untapped potential?

In the absence of precise market matching, you make decisions based on guesswork—not data.
