What is an MVP and why is it important?

Eric Ries’ Lean Startup teaches that a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a simplified version of a product aimed at gathering validated learning from real users with minimal development effort. By focusing on quick iteration, customer feedback, and the ability to pivot early, MVPs allow businesses to test assumptions, save costs, and develop a product that better fits market needs while reducing the risks of large-scale development failures.

The Benefits of Working with a Solo Developer

Hiring a solo developer provides benefits such as cost savings, direct communication, and greater flexibility, while allowing for faster turnarounds and a more personalized approach to project development. Solo developers are typically more personally invested in the project’s success and offer long-term collaboration opportunities with tailored solutions.
