A #minimumviableproduct (MVP) is exactly what it says on the tin: the simplest version of your product with the minimum features needed to validate your value proposition. This is not the same as saying that you can put together a half-finished product and take it to the market. Far from it. In today's landscape, unless your product shows immediate value to the user you're dead in the water. To make sure your MVP isn't the cause of your Startup's demise, we're sharing the structured process my team used with all the #startups we've worked with at Altar. Written by our co-founder Daniel, it contains over a decade of product expertise and will help you avoid some common, and often deadly, mistakes: https://lnkd.in/dZuDQEki #entrepreneurship
