Startup Basics Day 3: Building Your Startup MVP (Minimum Viable Product) So, you’ve got a solid idea, and you’ve even validated it. That’s awesome! Now, it’s time to bring it to life, but not by building the entire thing (yet). Today, we’ll talk about creating your MVP—the simplest version of your product that you can launch and test. WHAT’S AN MVP, REALLY? MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. Think of it as the “starter pack” version of your product. It’s just enough to solve the main problem you’re tackling, without all the extra bells and whistles. Here’s a fun way to think about it: If your goal is to build a car, your MVP isn’t a half-finished car—it’s a skateboard. It’s basic, it works, and it gets people moving. WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH AN MVP? It’s Cheaper and Faster Imagine spending months (and lots of money) building your dream product, only to realize no one wants it. Ouch, right? An MVP helps you avoid that by testing your idea early. You Get Real Feedback It’s one thing to think your idea is great, but real users will show you what’s actually working (or not). It Attracts Attention Whether it’s early adopters, investors, or partners, having something tangible (even if it’s simple) makes a big difference. STEPS TO BUILD YOUR MVP 1. Focus on the Problem First, get crystal clear on the ONE problem your product is solving. Don’t try to do everything—stick to the basics. 2. Pick the Core Features Write down all the features you’d love your product to have. Now, be ruthless and cut everything except the essentials. If it doesn’t solve the main problem, it can wait. 3. Use Simple Tools Don’t overcomplicate things. Use no-code platforms like Glide, Webflow, or Bubble if you’re not a coder. If you can code, stick to lightweight frameworks to get something up fast. 4. Build Fast Your MVP doesn’t need to be pretty; it just needs to work. Think “good enough,” not “perfect.” 5. Test with Real People Share your MVP with potential users. Watch how they use it, listen to their feedback, and take notes. Speaking of marketing, that’s exactly what we’ll cover tomorrow in Day 4: How to Market Your Startup. See you then!

If you have to convince people your product is useful, it’s probably not. Real value doesn’t need a sales pitch—it speaks for itself. If people aren’t getting it, the problem isn’t their understanding, it’s your product. Fix that first.

Most “idea-stage” pitches fail because the founder is too focused on the product. Building the product is the fun part. But that’s not what investors buy into - especially early. They’re not investing in your features. They’re investing in: a. Your

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? Think of it as a middle step between your initial idea and a fully developed MVP.
