I connect founders with engineering teams that help turn ideas into working products. Interested in SaaS, AI, startups, MVPs, and building products people actually use.

7 MVP mistakes we've seen repeatedly

After working with early-stage founders, we've noticed the same patterns over and over:

• Trying to build every feature before launch
• Choosing a complex architecture too early
• Ignoring user interviews
• Optimizing for scale before finding product-market fit
• Spending weeks on UI polish instead of validation
• Building admin panels that aren't needed initially
• Not defining success metrics before development
