How to build an MVP

A good MVP is the smallest thing that proves your core hypothesis with real users. The discipline is in what you leave out.

Define the one hypothesis

State the single belief your MVP must test, for example “busy parents will pay for on-demand tutoring booking.” Everything in the MVP should serve testing that.

Map the core loop

Identify the smallest end-to-end loop that delivers value, and build only that. Defer settings, edge cases and secondary features.

Instrument learning

Add analytics for activation and the core action from day one. The MVP exists to produce data.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an MVP and a prototype?
A prototype demonstrates an idea (often non-functional); an MVP is a real, shippable product with the minimum feature set to learn from paying/real users.
