An MVP is not a business.

• iovrthoughtthis 8y ago
  I struggled to answer this without derogatory sarcasm. I agree, an MVP is not a business. I would not expect that a business would be built in a few weeks or even months. My personal experience with businesses is that they take years. But we're not talking about building a business. You do not launch an MVP and call it a business. I was specifically talking about proving a business case for a solution that could turn into a business. This is precisely what the things we call 'MVPs' are mean't to be for.

    > But we're not talking about building a business. You do not launch an MVP and call it a business. Then what exactly were you talking about when you wrote this: > businesses with basically 0 startup capital requirements, > 90% margins and minimal time commitments ala software. ? > I was specifically talking about proving a business case for a solution that could turn into a business. At that point, however, you do not have a business. And you're not an entrepreneur.

      It's evident that you have no wish to change your mind and honestly, I have no wish to change mine.
