💀 You have probably heard many stories of companies investing millions of dollars to launch sophisticated products that nobody needs. One such example is the Microsoft's Zune player. 📻 Zune was a music player launched in 2006 as an attempt to compete with the iPod, which by that time became the market leader. Microsoft's strategy to penetrate the oversaturated market failed. They focused on adding features and more functionality instead of listening to the user feedback and validating their product assumptions with real users. 💸 The Zune projects generated hundreds of millions of losses for Microsoft. While a company of such scale can recover from such mistakes, this often will be the end for a startup company. 🎁 One strategy to avoid the Zune scenario is to build an MVP: a minimum viable product that allows the product team to learn fast and adjust the product based on feedback from target customers. Everything you need to know about MVP is in the latest post in the Icanprener blog. Link in bio. #startup #entrepreneurship #mvp #leanStartup #productDevelopment #BusinessStrategy
