The 30-Day Launch Framework
Building an MVP in 30 days requires uncompromising focus on the core value proposition. Here is the exact cadence we use with founders:
- Week 1: Core User Journey & Tech Spine: Define the single primary path a user takes to receive value. Establish database schemas, auth, and hosting deployment pipelines.
- Week 2: Critical Interactions: Implement the primary interface. Skip secondary settings, billing tiers, or complex edge cases.
- Week 3: Polish & Error Boundaries: Add loading skeletons, robust form validation, and transactional emails.
- Week 4: Beta User Onboarding & Analytics: Put the software in front of 20 prospective buyers and observe without steering them.
