Don’t invest any money in a business. Here’s why: Never invest money into a business idea until you’ve validated it with a “mini MVP.” So, what exactly is a mini MVP?

Identify Your Target Customer – Start by defining your ideal customer profile. Who exactly is your product meant for? 2. Engage 100 Targeted Customers – Reach out to a sample of 100 potential customers, either virtually or verbally. Describe your product or solution clearly and ask them one key question: “Would you pay for this?” Important: Never offer it for free, even at this stage.

True, by creating a "mini MVP," you avoid wasting resources on something that hasn't been validated because if it works you gotta go all in for a decade or so and that's a long time but if it won't work, you'll know sooner instead of wasting time and money. Solid stuff.

I like the theory of this but the challenge with this approach is that not everyone will give honest feedback, and the small sample size (100 customers) might not reflect broader market trends.
