Summary: Building an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is essential for startup founders. Launching something quickly and iterating based on customer feedback is more effective than spending time on surveys and user interviews. Early stage founders should focus on getting a product out quickly, talking to initial customers, and making improvements based on their needs. Examples from successful companies like Airbnb, Twitch, and Stripe show that starting with a basic, limited-functionality product can lead to success by targeting early adopters. Surveys alone cannot provide the insights needed to solve customer problems, and it is important to have a product in front of users to have meaningful conversations and iterate accordingly.
the most important point about an MVP which is you'd only really start learning about your user when you put a product in front of it that doesn't mean that the thing you build in RVP is going to work right it's probably not going to work it's just the best way to start the conversation with the user and how you can solve their problems (View Highlight)
