The simplest and fastest way to test minimum viable products (MVP)
- vdlozano 3y agoHaving worked in several companies and now starting my own, I've encountered the challenge of high costs in terms of both time and money when it comes to testing ideas for new features, modules, or complete products. During this journey, I came across the lean startup method and the MVP case of buffer.com, but even then, testing wasn't as fast or affordable as I needed it to be. It required creating several versions for testing and evaluation, not just for capturing leads but for comprehensive tracking of MVP usage. This experience highlighted the need for a platform where all of this could be done quickly, simply, and affordably. That's how the idea for starterify.com was born. I look forward to your feedback and support, thank you!
- KuriousCat 3y agoThis is very interesting but I am confused about a key aspect here. If the idea could be tested cheaply, what would be the moat for the company once it succeeds? Competitors could quickly replicate the same idea at a similar pace? Also curious, what are the current success stories?
- vdlozano 3y agoHi KuriousCat and thanks. While it's understandable to fear others stealing your idea, in practice, executing the idea often matters more than the idea itself. Most ideas require a dedicated team, resources, and a solid business plan to become a reality. Sharing your idea forces you to act swiftly and continuously improve, keeping you ahead of potential competitors. The essence of this approach is feedback and enhancement, and crucially, market validation. A prime example of success through this model, and a source of my inspiration, is the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) case of buffer.com
