# Custom Build
Avoid custom building until you receive enough traction, engage a development team only if your start-up is likely to scale exponentially.
As most of the start-ups do not have access to immediate funding, you can potentially invest your time and resources on current no-code tools available in the market to get traction and early revenue.

You are the MVP! The “most valuable person” of your business.
