How to Build Your MVP for $10k (Not $150k)
How to Build Your MVP for $10k (Not $150k)
(yes, the numbers are just to make a point - think lean, not bloated)
AI makes it easier than ever to build a product.
It does not make it easier to build the right product.
And if you’re a non-technical founder without clear tech direction, AI tools, agencies, and developers can quickly turn your MVP into a $150k+ experiment or more.
This session is for non-technical founders building software, automation, or AI who want to stay lean and in control.
If you’ve been:
searching for a CTO before writing a line of code
burned by an agency or freelancer
overwhelmed by AI tools and scope creep
unsure what actually needs to be in your MVP
This webinar will show you a safer path.
You’ll learn:
why MVP budgets quietly balloon to $100k+
the 4 traps that drive cost and over-engineering
what a truly lean MVP looks like
how to work with developers without becoming technical
how to install simple guardrails so execution doesn’t spiral
This is not a coding workshop.
It’s a decision and tech direction workshop — for founders who want to move fast without gambling their savings.
