Thanks for the reply Steven, Just to give you a bit of information on that front, as that is something I didn't think to mention: The company has been under development for almost 1 year part time and about 8 months full time now - we are in the end stages of VC + Angel funding with reasonably confident plans for at least the next 5 years' growth.

(Also, I'm the only 'tech' person on the team and am having a bit of a hard time justifying the spend at the minute...)

That's a lot of development time for an MVP. Are you guys launched? I should note that you should throw away your 5 year plans. Things change so much from so many angles in a startup's lifecycle, I'd be very amazed if your 5 year plan actually play out exactly as you plan. I am very weary of any plan over 6 months not shifting or changing. A LOT can happen in 5 years. You should focus on great detail for the next 6-12 months at best and a grand vision out there. Any other plans will more than likely shift.

  It's a slightly more complicated startup and highly seasonal so we haven't really gone down the MVP route. I only joined the team in November though when they started looking at implementation. It's true - I suspect the 5 year plan is going to change a LOT (it's really only for the investors) - but I think that there should be reasonably certain longevity provided the last stages of setup work (if that was useful for the domain choice). Like you say though, we are really mainly focusing on the shorter term at the minute. Hopefully it works! Thanks for the help!
