Speed matters more than perfection when you’re launching a startup.
This article breaks down a realistic, focused 6-week plan that startup founders can follow to go from idea to working MVP — fast.
Week 1: Define the MVP Scope
-
Clarify the user problem and the minimum solution.
-
Strip out everything that’s not absolutely critical.
Week 2: Sketch Wireframes and Flows
-
Create mockups using Figma or Whimsical.
-
Focus on onboarding + 1 key action.
Weeks 3–4: Develop the MVP
-
Use no-code tools or a lean code stack (Next.js, Supabase).
-
Prioritize a functioning flow over polish.
Week 5: Internal QA and Polish
-
Test the user journey internally.
-
Refine onboarding and fix UX friction.
Week 6: Private Beta Launch
-
Invite 10–20 early users.
-
Collect real feedback to plan post-launch iterations.
