  • The MVP is dead. Long live the RAT.

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/the-mvp-is-dead-long-live-the-rat-233d5d16ab02.


    There is a flaw at the heart of the term Minimum Viable Product: it’s not a product. It’s a way of testing whether you’ve found a problem worth solving. A way to reduce risk and quickly test your biggest assumption. Instead of building an MVP identify your Riskiest Assumption and Test it. Replacing your MVP with a RAT will save you a lot of pain.

When communication breaks down at work, more time is wasted in filling gaps in alignment and expectations and less in productive work. Instead of seeking perfect alignment, focus on what’s within your control and the practices you can adopt.

    Newchip, once strutting its stuff alongside the big guns like Y-Combinator, found itself in a real pickle. It's been ordered to shut down and liquidate while under the shadow of Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

    Only 14% of the US founders are women, according to Pitchbook. There are even fewer if we look at experienced founders with a track record of success. YC is one of the most successful accelerators on the planet, surely this must be the go-to to find the most ambitious people.
