The best way to quickly test a startup is by building a minimal viable product (MVP) to gauge market interest and gather feedback. This lean approach allows you to iterate rapidly based on real user insights, minimizing both time and financial investment.

@zijian What are your thoughts on conducting target interviews before building an MVP? In my opinion, they can often be quite ineffective.

@zijian thank you, that sounds like a wise strategy

It's best to schedule customer interviews with the persona you think will benefit the most from it and ask them about their current challenges. Don't mention your ideas. I recommend reading a great book called "The Mom Test".

@ruben_boonz I've checked Bubble, that looks perfect for an MVP!

Hi Alexandre, The best way to quickly test a startup with minimal expense is to use a combination of customer interviews, no-code tools, and building a minimal viable product (MVP).
