MVP Test

Are your ambitions just a dream or has your product the sufficient MVP to make it?

MVP is not hype, it's a serious barometer that anyone thinking about a product's chances of success on the market should look into very carefully before they commit resources to a product launch. Whenever combined with the USP, the optimal adjustment of the MVP can be a really powerful tool.

Many companies - many startup companies in particular - tend to be too isolated from market realities and too infatuated with their innovative product. Overconfident, not checking the reality of their position regarding their MVP, they often get a cold shower after having invested their essential resources in product launch and sales (one of the main reason behind startup companies' failures). The main reason? They never took the time to check on their MVP... Yes, it sounds stupid but it's reality. Just that MVP estimate is not something clearly accessible to anyone. MVP is only valid if there is a match with the target markets. That's where Horizon Development Markets and the MVP Test comes in.
