It’s a great time to be an entrepreneur in the US right now!
The first three quarters of 2015 saw $57.9 billion in startup funding and have already crossed the 2014 level. However, the startup failure rate is at an all time high, with 9 out of 10 startups failing in their initial stages. What’s more intriguing is that according to a survey by CB insights, the number one reason for startup failure was the lack of a market need for their product, followed by running out of funds.
Here is where a lean startup approach can help; entering the market with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) increases the chance of success for your startup, as it helps in validating the idea at a fraction of the cost and time, one would have invested going in for a complete application.
Now, choosing an MVP approach is only half the battle won, a startup would also need an experienced tech partner, who can bring in a host of valuable experience and expertise for successful planning and designing of the MVP.
An experienced tech partner can:
- Provide best-fit solutions to reach your desired goals
- Apply next generation technologies through rapid and Agile development methodologies
- Help in co-ideation and product assessment
