As a start-up, your weapon is speed. You are not corporate, so you don't have the bureaucracy, you don't have to have board meetings, you don't have to take 9 months to make a decision.

But corporations are bigger, and they have more money and more resources. So the only thing you are competing on is speed. So move really, really fast.

If you have an MVP, if you have an idea, just put if out there. Even if it's just on a landing page, get some feedback, get some free signups, do whatever it takes to keep moving.
