Avoiding Common Mistakes in Building your First Tech Startup MVP
Ken Vermeille discusses the common mistakes and pitfalls founders often make when building their first minimum viable product (MVP).
Topics include the importance of flexibility to revise initial ideas based on market feedback, the risk of over-engineering an MVP with too many features, and the benefits of building an audience early on rather than operating in 'stealth mode'.
Ken's key point throughout is the necessity of focusing on customer feedback and market relevance rather than getting overly attached to an initial concept or trying to prematurely monetize the MVP.
