Breaking down why you're wrong about why I'm wrong :-)
A) 3 to 5 years to MVP? You're doing it wrong.
B) No solution is perfect for every situation, I'll concede that. It doesn't make me wrong. In fact it assures that what I said will be right, at least some of the time. I'm being snarky, but the point is, of course MTurk isn't going to work for every application. Use some judgment. Maybe the coffee shop thing would work better for you, I just think other alternatives are more worthy of investigation.
C) Once again, you're doing it wrong. You got it there at the end though. Ask businesses or real potential customers to commit, not you're closest friends. In what scenario would that route work?
- dshankar 16y agoA. MVP usually takes at least a month if not more. Do you want to waste a full month of your life? That could be avoided by 30 minutes of talking to future customers. B. & C. - "Maybe" - not wrong, just maybe. There needs to be emphasis on "real potential customers." I've made the mistake of thinking I'm doing something great because friends (who might buy it) liked the idea. Just trying to point out the need for honest feedback. (Sorry if I came off as snarky ;) apologies)
- wmeredith 16y agoNo worries, publishing on the Internet for years has given me quite a thick skin. I'm also always willing tondo use counterpoints. It's the best way to refine an argument, or startup idea for that matter.
