​Gagan Biyani is the co-founder of Maven, which empowers experts to offer cohort-based courses directly to their audience. Gagan is a serial entrepreneur; he previously co-founded Udemy and Sprig, a food delivery company. Gagan is an investor and advisor to over thirty companies.

​Gagan joins Chris to share how founders can accelerate their path to acquiring product market fit. Gagan’s extensive startup experience taught him that creating a “minimum viable product” or MVP—widely considered startup dogma—leads teams astray by over-building and over-developing too early in the process. If you are building your company around outdated paradigms like Lean Startup, you’re going to have a bad time.

​Instead, through Minimum Viable Testing, teams can save time, avoid hiring developers too early, and have higher accuracy on their eventual initial product.
