From Idea to MVP: How to Get There
When taking a project from an idea to full completion, it is important to save time, money, and resources where possible. Whether you are trying to innovate on top of an existing approach or start from scratch, a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is an invaluable tool to turn a raw idea into a working product, in even the most uncertain conditions.
An MVP gives a product, website, or application enough of the features necessary to function and appeal to early adopters. This frees you up to invest time and money in the bits that clients love, work on the parts that could be better, and abandon aspects that don’t work after consumer testing rather than investing in extensive resources beforehand.
When technologies are new, they remain in the hands of those brilliant engineers who can understand the fundamentals and work around the difficulties to produce products and services that users want. MVPs allow you to move fast and seize your opportunities.
Why Have an MVP?
Being able to set yourself apart from the crowd in a competitive environment is increasingly important. These days, it is not enough to have a phenomenal idea to court serious interest; you need to prove to potential clients, investors, and business partners that you have the underlying capability to provide substance — not just style.
Utilizing an MVP is the perfect tool to differentiate yourself, create buzz, and save time and money in the long run. The faster you can get your idea in front of people in a viable form, the faster you can get feedback, understand your market, and create a cohesive strategy. An MVP allows you to understand what works and how to make those parts even better.
Get the Features Right
With an MVP, you get access to the maximum output of real user feedback from the minimum input of design and development. By deploying the key features for testing without investing extensive resources, you save time and money as well as freeing up manpower and resources for other focuses.
Typically, creating a comprehensive working model requires experts, iterations, and potential delays to your launch. Of course, this gives other people the opportunity to piggyback on your idea and steal your momentum.
Bearing that in mind, the most valuable tool you can have in your armory is speed — and this is precisely what Trickle offers creators. The principle behind Trickle’s Substrate toolkit is the belief that great ideas should be able to access the technology needed to help them thrive. So, the platform makes it simple to create MVPs without knowing how to code or feeling like you have to hire expensive developers.
Speed Up the Process with a Smart Contract Toolkit
Developing an MVP has historically been a stage in product development reserved for enterprises with substantial financial backing. This is because extra stages of development build in extra layers of time, complication, and financial drain. This can be a huge barrier for aspiring entrepreneurs and long standing professionals alike.
But Trickle’s smart contract toolkit takes the barriers away by making it simple, cost-effective, and flexible to get to the MVP stage and beyond. Our completely decentralized approach to smart contracts allows creators to succeed through the power of their own ideas. Trickle bridges the gaps that have plagued the industry without requiring creators to compromise on security. And this increase in speed and simplicity is aligned with unparalleled marketing opportunities for businesses without any further redirection of resources.
Now Is the Time to Get it Right
Establishing viability during the early stages of your project is vital in order to gain interest, support for your idea, and a user base. By developing an MVP, all this can be achieved without spending excess time and money on a full product. Of course, during this stage, if there are flaws or you learn of gaps in knowledge or expertise, you can recalibrate your operations and make decisions that work for you and your idea. The benefit of doing so at this stage is that changes are easier to make and require less backtracking than they would with a fully developed, launched product.
Trickle is passionate about removing the barriers that entrepreneurs and innovators face when trying to make their projects a reality. By making the development entry point more technically and financially accessible, we are not only revolutionizing the industry and disrupting the status quo, we are ensuring that a greater diversity of ideas make it to market.
There has never been a better time to get your product out there.
