GGW Workshop: From Idea to MVP - Building What Customers Actually Want
🔥 From Idea to MVP: Building What Customers Actually Want
Most founders do not need to build more. They need to build the right first version.
In this practical workshop, we’ll break down how to turn an early-stage idea into a focused MVP that tests whether customers actually want what you’re building, without wasting months or budget on unnecessary features.
You’ll learn how to define your core value proposition, decide what belongs in version one, avoid common MVP mistakes, and use real customer feedback to decide what to build next.
🎯 You’ll leave with:
→ A clearer MVP scope
→ A way to prioritize features
→ A framework for validating customer demand
→ Practical next steps from idea to first version
