MVP, Lean, Boostrapped. You certainly win at buzzwords.
- patio11 16y agoThis is rather more snarky than usual for the top comment on a Rate My Startup post. I would rather not see that become a trend, since they're some of the most enjoyable (and useful) posts this community has, and -- of all people -- we should understand that getting something out and ready to show takes both courage and hard work.
- pclark 16y agoI agree. I think I probably should leave some feedback (aww, can't edit..) as well, but at the same time felt the amount of buzzwords thrown around by startups these days is getting alarming. And these are buzzwords. Lean, Boostrapped, MVP - tell me nothing of the product.
- edw519 16y agoSnarky? Probably. Valuable? Definitely. pclark's feedback is excellent. And it probably should be first because OP's buzzwordia is a roadblock to everything else. I had trouble proceeding because my buzzword filter was up in full force, quite possbly giving false negatives. OP needs to speak English, now. You're right. It does take a lot of courage and hard work to have something to show. But it also takes thick skin. Better to get ripped here than by your prospects. If something's not right, they won't tell you. They'll just go away.
- caffeine 16y agoI agree with you that Lean & Bootstrapped are just buzzwords that say nothing about the product. But I think MVP does. He's saying the product is simple. It's useful when giving feedback to know the author considers this a minimal product.
- andrewstuart 16y agoLean is a topic that seems of interest to the community. I thought tangible outcomes might also be of interest. I do take the point though. Thanks for the feedback :-)
