As someone who spent half his life in the world of (physical) product design: to me this sounds incredibly contradictory.

A "strong product vision" is a bad thing when you are "iterating to find product market fit", because most people tend to be unable to kill their darlings and do what is needed to achieve said market fit.

If your "strong product vision" is really as strong as you believe, it should already contain an idea which market and target group is ideal — or if it is a really genius idea, this won't even be necessary because it will create it's own market.

Perhaps it's a vision of e.g. technology which could be applied in many different verticals? I can see the founders having a clear product idea but having to find its specific applications on the market... E.g. let's say you make a database and then you begin looking for companies that need your specific favor of database; then there could be customization for specific customer needs too.
