Of all the parts of growing a start-up, there’s one part that’s the most fun. (well for me anyway!) That was, building an MVP( minimum viable product). There’s something about taking an idea, and creating something super simple yet tangible, that fires me up like you wouldn’t believe. It’s also the stage where you get your first customer feedback, which can often be a reality check! But equally, you’ve gone from something imaginary to something tangible. Something that you can show potential customers, and more importantly, something that people will pay money for. When talking to other startup founders, it’s always this stage that I’m drawn to the most. Curious, which part of growing your business do you find most enjoyable? #startup #mvp #software
