A startup doesn't have 18 months to test an idea
In a startup, time is the only asset that can't be rebuilt. Your competitors move ahead, your investors await proof, your runway burns every month. The goal of an MVP isn't to be perfect — it's to test a hypothesis with real users as fast as possible.
Classic trap: a rushed MVP that doesn't hold past 100 users, or the opposite, an over-ambitious architecture that delays go-to-market by 6 months. Both kill the startup.
