MVP Validation Through Simple Product
- Vasco validated Arvo by building the simplest MVP: an article generator that emailed TXT files to users.
- Early traction came from his existing SEO network and riding the AI content wave.
Build Only What Customers Request
- Do not build features you guess people want; ask customers what they actually do and need first.
- Implement your AI into existing customer processes rather than inventing new workflows.
