I have to agree with the author. The MVP concept was new to me when I attended Startup School a couple years ago and while I understood what it gets at (not spending too much time or money on a concept that no one may want) it feels too much like selling a "promise" of what something will be, and it assumes that promise can be fulfilled.
To me, an MVP felt like showing someone a battery powered skateboard while telling them what you're really working on is an electric car. You may get investors, and that's great, but you may also spend years finding out you can't scale the tech to build the car.
- stronglikedan 6y agoIt's more like the MVP is a basic electric car. You can sit in it, start it, and drive it. However, it doesn't have a radio or sunroof, and maybe not even a trunk or passenger seat. I'm not sure the author understands what an MVP is. I parse the title as I hate MVPs, because I hate what I don't understand.
