Ask a practical question

Contact MVP for Startups

Contact MVP for Startups when you have a question about the directory, the checklist or the first validation path for your startup idea.

Best first question

What are you trying to validate?

Share the customer, assumption and decision you need to make next.

Before you send

The best question is specific. Share what you are trying to validate, which customer you want to test with and what decision you need to make next.

If your question is about choosing a method, include whether demand, workflow, automation, pricing or repeat behavior is the biggest unknown.

Customer

Who is the test for?

Name the user or buyer group as narrowly as possible.

Risk

What is unknown?

Demand, workflow, pricing, repeat use and automation risk need different MVP paths.

Decision

What happens next?

Say what you need to decide after the first validation move.

Request area

Send a short message with the startup stage, question and validation decision you are trying to make.

Need more context first?

Read the FAQ before sending a broad question, use the checklist to prepare your validation plan, or return to the directory to compare MVP methods.
