Y Combinator Michael Seibel — How to Plan an MVP

Minimum Viable Product, this is the first product that you need to serve to see if your company can solve anything. It's that simple.

And when you build your MVP, talk to your client, its good if you have experience of over 10 years or if you talk to your customers, that's even better. Question yourself if you are solving for no-body.

Launch something bad quickly.

Just because it's not the full software or the full thing, do not ignore the review from the MVP. Because your full product might not be the item the clients actually want. And when you know your solution is not working, remove the solution. Fix the software, not the problem, so iterate.

In most cases, you should be building a lean MVP, that only takes weeks to build, or whatnot. And start very fast. While doing that make sure you are solving for small sets of users, who are engaging with your company and your product. To solve for that small set of people first.
