A founder talks about the journey from the first prototype to a working product. What was built first? What was left out? How do you find your first users? An honest perspective on the phase where an idea becomes something tangible.
What will you take away from this?
- An understanding that a first product doesn’t have to be perfect
- Insights into real-life build decisions: What came first? What was never included?
- Practical inspiration for your own MVP approach
