As always Matt provides some excellent pointers for first time founders. I generally agree with the sentiment. It is better to go after customers' money before VC dollars. I would like to add a few more options to founders who are thinking about getting co-founders to build a product. In most of the cases, you won’t be able to build something in a couple of weeks and stop building. Discovering your customer needs is a journey, you are going to keep discovering new things and you need a team in place to keep iterating. Who you build with is more important than what you build for many early stage startups. According to Y Combinator co-founder Jessica Livingston, founder disputes are the second biggest reason for startups to fail [0]. We started Sprint1 to address these two problems. If you have a quality problem, first hand experience of the problem and the industry, you don’t need a technical co-founder. We will fund you, build your MVP and help you form your founding product and engineering team for a small percentage of equity. [0] https://lnkd.in/gNHqCgpa

You can’t build if you don’t take action. The ideas will keep coming, switch to execution. That’s how you start to build. #startups #tech #buildingsomething #founders #vc #growth

Want your product development to get bogged down? Of course, not. But let us tell you how to kill your product. Let’s say you’re a startup decision-maker responsible for the launch of the first product.  1. First of all, you should never think for a second about creating a product development strategy. 2. Next, choose speed over quality. 3. Finally, there are three more grave mistakes for your business growth. You’ll find them in our new article.

For startups, it's important to know the difference between a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and a Proof of Concept (PoC). Each has a special role in helping your idea succeed, but knowing when to use each can make all the difference. An MVP helps you test your core product with real users, gathering essential feedback and iterating quickly. It's about building just enough to learn and improve. A PoC, on the other hand, demonstrates the feasibility of an idea or technology, proving it can be done before investing significant resources. Understanding these differences not only saves time and money but also aligns your development strategy with your business goals. #StartupDevelopment #MVP #PoC #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #EmpiricInfotechLLP #ThoughtoftheDay #MinimumViableProduct #ProofofConcept
