Q

Hi Ray, Is the approach for building a MVP different when one's company is b2b vs. b2c? The latter often involves landing pages, a brief description or a video even and a basic form for signing up for a private beta. I feel that such an approach wouldn't work for our particular business model.

I don’t think the approach is different at all. In fact, building an MVP may be easier with a b2b company because you have a smaller sample size to validate your product ideas. With a b2c play you have to accept a more scattered approach, i.e. discovering your customer segments is a crucial step. With b2b you probably have a more narrowly defined customer segment.

Landing pages, A/B testing, videos etc are all part of the toolset. But the real key is getting outside the building and talking to people.
