Most startups die because they build too much, too soon. The goal of an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) isn't to be perfect—it's to learn.
The "Landing Page First" Approach
Before you write a single line of backend code, build a high-fidelity landing page. Why? Because if you can't sell the promise of your product, the product itself doesn't matter.
Your single-page site serves as the ultimate validation tool. Track clicks on your "Get Early Access" button. If nobody clicks, pivot your messaging—not your codebase.
