EP5 — How To Not Wipe Out All Your Money On The First Try: The MVP Do’s & Don’ts

Today's episode is dedicated to the MVP. And in tech, it stands for Minimum Viable Product. I’ll walk you through what it really means and why it’s so important. 

We’ll be covering a SIMPLE but POWERFUL exercise you can do to get to the core of your app, because you want to start breaking down the work. An app is a marathon not a sprint, but what does your first 5k run look like? Your first training session? I got you covered.

If you are:

  • At the stage that you’re seriously considering working with developers
  • Preparing to raise investment/capital
  • If you’re bootstrapping, at the stage you’re thinking of investing serious money into development yourself.

listen up!

I am currently offering a done-for-you get started kit on app development — The App Lab — where you get:

  • A coaching consultation where we capture every extent of your idea and goals 
  • A done-for-you roadmap and pitch outline
  • If required, a testing and research strategy for you to validate your app
  • Access to proven research tools and templates, so you can get answers and data straight away

This is an opportunity for you to get a bespoke plan outlining exactly where to go next with your app. With it, you can communicate your vision and idea clearly to stakeholders, investors, and other developers, making your app a reality.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about The App Lab, let's chat! You can book some time here.

About the Podcast

Cutting Through Tech
For Rule Breaking Female Founders
In a world that is run by Silicon Valley, how do we, women entrepreneurs, create businesses that change, inspire, and move this world for the better without being held back by the hurdles and obstacles the tech industry often throws our way. How do we create the impact we want and realise our full potential, by leveraging technology to work for us, not against us.

This show cuts through the status quo and is your guide to exploring technology confidently.

Welcome to Cutting Through Tech.

I’m your host, Maxim Cramer, and I’m on a mission to secure the digital future for us by doubling the number of female-founded tech businesses.

I’m a software engineer, designer, coach and consultant who’s worked on apps that had over a million downloads in a day, and featured in apple retail stores all across the world. I work with female founders, entrepreneurs just like you, to maximise their impact by creating world-class software-based businesses.

I’m a women. I’m in tech. and I’m the CEO of a business that is looking to make a mark.

Stay tuned, because on this show technology becomes as simple as everyday English, removing the barriers so you can think, strategise, and execute like a Female Tech CEO.
