Gorkem proposed the concept of "Token-Market Fit," arguing that an AI company only achieves product-market fit if it can sell enough tokens to a single user to generate $10,000/month in revenue. Otherwise, the company is merely a "sparkling SaaS." This highlights the potential of usage-based business models.
