᠅ Founder Tip: Your MVP should embarrass you Reid Hoffman once said: If you're not embarrassed by your first product, you launched too late. He was right. Here’s why your MVP (Minimum Viable Product) should be fast, ugly, and real: 1. Speed beats polish You don’t need features. You need feedback. A basic version launched today is better than a perfect one next year. 2. Ugly builds honesty When users ignore the UI and still stick around, you know the core is strong. No fluff, just value. 3. Polished = dangerous distraction Founders often waste months on logos, animations, and design systems. But users don’t care—if the problem’s real, they’ll use it anyway. 4. Launching messy invites growth The sooner you launch, the sooner you get real signals. What they hate, what they love, what’s missing. 5. Iteration is the real superpower No MVP survives first contact untouched. Your MVP isn’t your product. It’s a conversation starter. Build it ugly, launch it fast, learn like crazy.
