📍 // THE PROBLEM I HELP PEOPLE AVOID? > Creating solutions looking for a problem. There are tonnes of software ideas. Yet very few are successful, and many never see the light of day. Wasted time, money, resource And most importantly, wasted opportunity. 📍 // WHY DO SO MANY FAIL? There is a bucket list of factors that lead to failure. but the one I care about the most is ... ... EXECUTION. The ability to bridge the gap between imagination and real-world application. You can have an amazing idea, that has poor execution. You can have an average idea, that has exceptional execution. The latter will win. The issue isn't the ideas itself, it's actually how they approach the execution of the idea. The idea is only the starting point. Where they ultimately end depends on the strategies and tactics they executed. 📍 // THE OLD WAY: The most common contributing factors to software failure: > Skipping product market validation > Underestimating the level of validation required > Incorrectly approaching MVP development Typical software project journey: 1. Idea conceived, validation ignored, scope and build. 2. 18-24 months spent creating an MVP (minimum viable product) 3. Often resulting in a MFP (maximum features product). These are over engineered solutions - riddled with extended timelines, high costs, and disconnect from end-users. 4. Solution is launched and the market rejects it (no want or need). In summary they spent over a year, creating a solution that doesn't solve a problem. We've developed a new approach to MVPs that is absolutely unique and increases the likelihood of transforming your idea into a profitable, desirable and scalable SaaS. 📍 //THE OUTLIERS WAY; > MVP Accelerator In 20 days: > Validate Product Market Fit, with real target customers, at scale, > Get everything you need to kick off MVP development: Product vision, tech strategy, prototype, UX, architecture, roadmap, backlog.
