How to Validate Your MVP in 30 Days

A week-by-week plan to test demand before you write too much code.

How to Validate Your MVP in 30 Days
In this article

The goal of an MVP is learning, not launching. This 30-day plan helps you find out whether people want what you are building.

Week 1 — define the bet

Write down who the customer is, the problem, and the single result that would prove demand.

Week 2 — talk to customers

Hold 15–20 short interviews. Ask about their current workaround and what it costs them.

Week 3 — test with something real

Use a landing page, a clickable prototype or a manual "concierge" version of the service. Ask for a pre-order or a pilot.

Week 4 — decide

Compare results with your target. Double down, change direction, or stop — all three are good outcomes if they save you months.
