See I know this but I am going to build the MVP anyway 😂 I think as a software engineer entrepreneur I always think to myself “might as well do that instead of play video games or do nothing wasting time for months straight”
Thanks for this Rob. Pretty great explanation. Here's the gist. 1. Clearly define your MVP's objective 2. Outline your core features 3. Choose the right MVP approach 4. Create a development timeline 5. The launch
Really good breakdown! It’s easy falling into the trap of building something no one is willing to buy. Especially if you’re working on a passion project 👏🏻 sell the idea first and then build it if there’s demand
But this is my issue. Hwo do you sell and idea that might not already been done without potential to bigger tech companies from stealing the idea. I know youll prob mention patent it but those can even be really expensive if it turns to be a sour idea
@@aytothemm.1035 pain, then product :) people buy products and services to complete their "job to be don" better, faster, or easier. Good thing is you don't need to patent anything to validate that there's a pain to be solved in the first place💡 For my clients we map 1. who their Ideal Customer Profile is (since it's B2B we're talking about Companies), 2. who are the Ideal Buyer Personas working at the ICP, and what their Job To Be Done is. What challenges are they facing while trying to complete it and how are they getting it done today. All you have to do first is validate if there's interest in solving that need in a way that you intend to. If enough people say yes, then you can start prototyping. Until then, nail your messaging 💪🏻 Good luck!
I'm a founder of an AI SAAS company. For AI, things can be a little different. Sometimes we can very verify the market is there, it's a true valid problem, but the technology may not be mature enough, until we really spend the cost to really implement it, it's very hard to verify will the market accept a 80% mature solution, or it has to be 90% or 95%. Do you have any advices on this kind of situation?

Thanks Rob. How do you get 'early access' folks? What does the process before the MVP look like?
This video on idea validation might help give you some ideas: ua-cam.com/video/d9uCqKEeJbY/v-deo.html
My advice to all of you, avoid productivity p*rn. You won’t learn anything until you start building.
Just downloaded this before my flight. This is going to be my bed time story 😂😂😂
Nighty night! 😴

Agreed thats my saas idea issue…its hard to test the market of something that hasnt happen….like how did uber test the market first
Very true
Takes years to build a wordpress website bc im a thug like that.
