How to Build Your MVP for $10k (Not $150k) – if you missed this session you can watch the replay here.
(yes, the numbers are just to make a point – think lean, not bloated)
AI makes it easier than ever to build a product.
It does not make it easier to build the right product.
And if you’re a non-technical founder without clear tech direction, AI tools, agencies, and developers can quickly turn your MVP into a $150k+ experiment or more.
This session is for non-technical founders building software, automation, or AI who want to stay lean and in control.
If you’ve been:
- searching for a CTO before writing a line of code
- burned by an agency or freelancer
- overwhelmed by AI tools and scope creep
- unsure what actually needs to be in your MVP
This webinar will show you a safer path.
You’ll learn:
- why MVP budgets quietly balloon to $100k+
- the 4 traps that drive cost and over-engineering
- what a truly lean MVP looks like
- how to work with developers without becoming technical
- how to install simple guardrails so execution doesn’t spiral
This is not a coding workshop.
It’s a decision and tech direction workshop — for founders who want to move fast without gambling their savings.
