How to Un-Bloat Your MVP

It’s not that hard to avoid wasting months of your life on a bloated MVP. I think there are only two steps:

1. Think of your #1 most compelling value prop story for your MVP.
   Tell the story with as much specific context as possible.
2. Give specific value to 1–10 specific people you know, consistent with your specific value prop story in Step 1.

If I say that your MVP is bloated, it’s because I don’t think you followed these steps.

Here at Bloated MVP, we’ll be collecting examples of startups which I believe can benefit from this MVP un-bloating process.
