Pre-Idea MVP First Customer Some Traction Early Scale

This Stage Defined

You've built something. It works. Now you need someone to pay for it. This is where the rubber meets the road, where you prove that your solution solves a real problem for real people.

The first customer isn't just a sale. It's validation. It's momentum. It's the beginning of your story.

What Founders Are Generally Experiencing

Emotional

You're nervous about pricing, too high? too low?

You're worried about overpromising and underdelivering.

You're torn between perfecting the product and getting it out there.

Operational

You're building sales processes from scratch.

You're figuring out onboarding and support.

You're learning what customers actually need vs. what you thought they needed.
