The term minimum viable product, or MVP, refers to the earliest, lowest-fidelity (and cheapest) iteration of a product to be tested by potential customers in order to collect feedback for future development.

This concept can be equated to the entrepreneur's journey by asking the existential question "what is the earliest version of a founder and what are the necessary features to assess their viability in the marketplace?"

To assess this qualification we must first determine who the founder's customer is first, much like we would with a product's target audience.

Who does the founder ultimately serve?

This can vary depending on the stage, but the fundamental personas can be summarized as co-founders, team members, investors, customers, and products.
