There is no special launch. when you finish your first iteration and get feedback from one or more potential customers that was the launch. after that you improve, get feedback, learn, improve further until you either give up or are a big enterprise 😅
Matthias is correct, there's definitely no right amount of refinement.
What is an MVP there to do? Allow you to prove you have the solution to a problem worth solving, that people will pay for.
Before you create an MVP make sure you spell out your objectives and what you're trying to achieve, what evidence you need to consider that MVP a success worth investing more time and effort into. Keep refining until you get that.
Bonus: Don't just write out success criteria, but define failure criteria. What evidence if obtained would highlight this is not the right idea. Don't fall prey to confirmation bias.
