IDEA NOTE #017
Rapidly Build MVPs, Test Before You Invest
The fastest path to product validation is through a minimally viable product.
Key principles to remember:
- Focus on core functionality only — no extra features.
- Use existing tools and templates when possible.
- Set a strict timeline (2-4 weeks maximum).
- Gather real user feedback early and often.
The goal isn’t perfection but validation. Better to discover a fatal flaw with a 2-week MVP than after 6 months of development.
