Why Most MVPs Fail (And How to Build One That Doesn't)
Learn the common pitfalls that doom most minimum viable products and discover the proven strategies we use to build MVPs that actually succeed in the market.

Building an MVP sounds simple enough: create the smallest version of your product that delivers value to users. Yet statistics show that 90% of startups fail, and many of those failures can be traced back to flawed MVP strategies.
The Most Common MVP Mistakes
After helping dozens of startups launch their products, we've identified the patterns that separate successful MVPs from those that never gain traction.
1. Building Too Much
The 'M' in MVP stands for Minimum, but founders often struggle to cut features. They fear launching with 'too little' and end up spending months building features users don't actually need.
2. Ignoring User Feedback
Some teams build their MVP, launch it, and then wonder why nobody's using it. The best MVPs are built with constant user feedback loops from day one.
3. Poor Technical Foundation
Cutting corners on architecture might save time initially, but technical debt accumulates quickly. A well-architected MVP can scale; a poorly built one requires a complete rewrite.
The MVP Forge Approach
We've developed a battle-tested framework that addresses these challenges. Our process emphasizes rapid iteration, continuous validation, and building on solid technical foundations that can scale.
