What is a MVP?
When you’re starting to develop a new app,
whether mobile or web, doing an MVP is the
best way to do it because it’s lean and agile.
Meaning for more versions faster and often
to create the best, ultimate app.
Why a MVP?
Big MVPs Cost & Time estimation (TNW)
How to get a niche product…
It’s more engaging and later profitable.
Kitchen cabinet software,
niche eh?
Find a problem to solve
Initially, you might start off with NOTHING for
the initial costs of your business but what
you have in your piggy bank.
Only 16% of business owners take a
paycheck from their start up their first
year
This means…
• Having interns
• PR/market yourself (contact
press and media, Social Media)
• Outsource
We built your MVP in 2 months. You don’t
start marketing it until one year later…..
Why wait that long?
Don’t focus too hard on perfection.
Don’t concern yourself with bug fixes. Your
agency can fix those as time goes by.
Why waiting hurts…
• Someone else can get to your
niche market 1st.
• You spent all of your investment
or personal money already and
you never quite launched.
A software as service in
which applications are
hosted by a service
provider and made
available through the
internet.
SaaS?
SaaS benefits
-Easier administration
-Automatic updates
-Compatibility (All users have same
software version)
-Easier collaboration
-GLOBAL accessibility
Point is…You don’t need to be a tech
person to build an MVP. Follow these steps
and you can easily build your app and
service product into something successful.
