Once you have completed the customer discovery process, you are close to problem\/solution fit, and the next step is finding a big enough market with a product that can satisfy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, you need to build a minimum viable product (MVP) \u2013 a minimal solution that solves the core problem of your users better than other existing solutions. In this blog post, we\u2019ll discuss how to build your MVP and why it\u2019s essential to validate your assumptions about your target audience, problem-solution fit, business model, and competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of an MVP is closely related to the field of agile software development, where agility allows you to build, deliver, and learn quickly. However, it\u2019s crucial to know what to build; otherwise, even the first version of your MVP needs to be good enough to solve an identified problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, an MVP can be a non-functional prototype that validates demand before getting the actual product in the hands of customers. The launch story of Buffer, a social media automation tool, is a great case study on how to go from idea to paying customers in a short amount of time. Learn more about achieving product\/market fit in our latest blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to know if the MVP is viable enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important for an MVP to be viable enough to attract and retain users. While an MVP does not need to be fully polished, it should still have a set of required features that work properly and provide a positive user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, it is important to aim for building a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP), which is the version of a new product that brings back the maximum amount of love from early adopters with the least effort. Building an exceptional viable product before releasing it is crucial for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with a concierge MVP!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the context of marketplace businesses, an MVP refers to a Minimum Viable Platform. This means launching a platform that allows users to transact and interact with each other, in order to validate product\/market fit. For example, if you\u2019re building a marketplace for personal trainers, your goal is to have early adopters actually booking training sessions through your platform. By offering a minimum viable solution that addresses the needs of both customers and providers, you can validate your idea and start scaling your platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to start building your own software?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Determining when to start building your own software depends on several factors. If the concierge MVP approach is not sufficient to create a Minimum Lovable Platform in your industry, and the expectations of users are high in terms of online search, booking, and payment experiences, then it may be necessary to develop your software from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your unique value proposition revolves around automating the matchmaking process in a new and efficient way, such as enabling instant online booking and payment, building the software becomes crucial for validating your value proposition. While it\u2019s important to keep custom software development to a minimum, the core elements necessary to deliver exceptional user experiences should be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to measure the success of your MVP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before launching your MVP, it\u2019s important to define what you want to learn from the launch. Identify the assumptions you\u2019re trying to validate and the data you\u2019re collecting through the experiment. Determine what KPIs are relevant to your marketplace business and make sure they are actionable so that you can act on them and make necessary changes. After launching, monitor your KPIs and get feedback from users to continuously improve your MVP and start the learning cycle again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a marketplace solution provider, Mindset understands the importance of building and launching MVPs for marketplace businesses.
