How long should an MVP take to build?

A well-scoped MVP should launch in 8–14 weeks. If scope exceeds 4 months, you are likely building v1—not an MVP.

Should startups build MVP in-house or outsource?

Outsource to an experienced product team when speed and full-stack coverage matter. Hire in-house after validating traction and needing daily iteration on a stable architecture.

Define the one problem you validate

An MVP is not a half-built product—it is the smallest version that tests whether users will pay or return. Cut everything that does not prove that hypothesis.

Scope checklist

One primary user role and one core workflow end-to-end
Authentication only if identity matters to the test
Manual backend processes acceptable early (concierge MVP)
Analytics from day one to measure activation and retention

Mistakes that burn runway

Building mobile + web + admin + AI features in v0
No user interviews before writing code
Choosing trendy tech with no hiring pool in India
Skipping legal basics: privacy policy, terms, data storage
