From idea to MVP

Lesson 6 of 6 · 6 min read

An MVP isn't a "minimum product." It's the smallest experiment that resolves your riskiest assumption.

  • Identify your riskiest unknown:
  • Will users pay? → Manual concierge MVP, no code.
  • Can we deliver the value? → Wizard-of-Oz with humans behind the curtain.
  • Will it scale? → Single-feature SaaS.

Pick one. Build it in 2 weeks. Ship to 10 paying customers. Iterate or kill.
