Launch your MVP in 2-6 months: https://www.saasmastery.com/call

The lean startup dogma says build an MVP fast, iterate, find product-market fit. But that advice is outdated and costly for non-technical founders in 2025. This video exposes why 90% of MVPs fail or stall, how iteration costs kill bootstrapped SaaS during the "Long Slow Ramp of Death," and what to do instead: the Minimum Viable Offer framework with a working prototype to pre-sell and validate before the full build. Real examples from Slack, Airbnb, and Atlassian, plus the roadmap that turns raw SaaS ideas into launched products in 2-6 months
