You probably think that building an MVP is difficult, right? Maybe you think that you have to have an advanced degree in computer science or engineering to be able to create something useful, let alone something that someone would actually pay money for?
Think again.
Because with the wealth of tools and resources that are readily available to anyone with a laptop and an internet connection, assembling an MVP has never been easier. And if you don’t believe us, check out the video below in which Mike Williams (founder of Thinkbox, Studiotime, and Codeity, as well as a Mentor for the Los Angeles Founder Institute), outlines some of the the tips and tricks he used to create an MVP. (For more info, check out Mike's blog post, "My Toolkit To Build And Validate MVPs".)
So now that you know that nothing is stopping you from building an MVP, what are you waiting for?
In this video, Mike discusses how he validates MVPs quickly without writing code, using tools that are affordable and easy to use. His methodology is especially useful for those looking to builid marketplaces, chatbots, communities, SaaS tools, and other MVPs.
Below are the tools and resources he used:
- Sharetribe (marketplace platform)
- Chatfuel (chatbot platform)
- Facebook Groups
- Instapage (landing pages)
