  2. Be Specific: "Series B SaaS 50-500 employees" not "Tech companies"

  3. Use Real Data: Base on actual customer analysis

  4. Limit to 3-5: Too many ICPs dilute focus

  5. Update Quarterly: Markets and products evolve

  6. Include Negatives: Define who's NOT a good fit

Troubleshooting

Poor Match Quality

  • Solution: Make criteria more specific, especially industry. Add examples.

  • Example: Use "B2B SaaS" not "Software"
