Common Mistakes Founders Make Building Their First MVP

Mistake one: building for imaginary enterprise buyers before any user has paid or returned.

Mistake two: treating design polish as progress while the core workflow stays unfinished.

Mistake three: hiring on lowest bid without checking ownership, communication, or shipped proof.

Mistake four: launching with zero analytics, then debating opinions instead of data.

A disciplined partner helps you avoid these mistakes by protecting scope and insisting on evidence.
