From idea to MVP: what founders should prepare

The founders who move fastest from idea to launched MVP aren't the ones with the most funding. They're the ones who can answer a handful of questions clearly before development starts.

Who exactly is the first user, and what are they doing today without your product? What's the one workflow the MVP absolutely has to nail, even if everything else is rough? What would make you believe the idea is working after the first month?

Founders who walk in with clear answers save real time: ambiguity here is what turns a six-week MVP into a six-month one.

We spend the first conversation getting these answers pinned down before any design or engineering starts.
