MVP-Challenge — 2 weeks. 1 MVP startup. $0 costs

Hi @chrismessina! Thank you for the question. We do not pretend to any ownership rights - code/assets/intellectual rights are all yours. I can't see possible risks for you. Our motivation is to create a useful app and show what we can do in just 2 weeks.

@shekhardesigner we will sign NDA & contract only with the winner. Before we start working on the project. So there are not so many documents :) thanks for sharing your project.

@erin_ben Thank you for the comment, Erin. To win the challenge, the author has to get as many likes & shares of own idea as possible. So idea (shortly) will be published on the website with all visitors. https://mvp-challenge.com/idea/M... You have to describe the project, target audience and how people solve this issue now. We are not asking to describe the unfair advantages or another secret ingredient. That's why we sign NDA and contract AFTER the winner will be chosen.

@oleg_kalyta it means that ideas submitted and not winning, are not covered... it would prevent serious people from sharing their ideas. see the comment below me.

@erin_ben There are always people afraid to share their ideas with the world. There is no way for us to make it completely confidential, as the main term of the challenge is to share the ideas with others and check whether people like it or not. All we can do - is to guarantee full security and safety from our side. That's why we are ready to sign contracts and prepare custom NDA that will be valid both in Ukraine and in the country of idea owner.

@oleg_kalyta what you could do, this is just a suggestion ok, I'm just trying to help. I'm sure you are super professional and can build (almost) any MVP within 2 weeks. I would add terms and conditions which say that all information submitted is confidential and will not be disclosed etc. I would add this before people submit their ideas and not just for the selected "winners" otherwise, there is no sense for your business process. Good luck

@erin_ben great suggestion, thank you :)

@opourquier you are totally right: points gonna qualify top 10 ideas 💡. Then we will choose 1 and implement it. We use AddThis’s api to get precise number of shares across all social networks. There is some delay in results. Plan to show points opposite each idea in the list tomorrow ✍️

@oleg_kalyta whats the business model here? how do you guys get paid?

@wolfwave we do not expect to be paid for this challenge. We believe in "pay it forward" attitude. And as we have some free time before the next project want to make something useful for the community. Our global intention is to be an example for others and involve companies which can help budding startupers who deserve it.

My bet is to demonstrate to potential clients how much they can achieve in just 2 weeks. @oleg_kalyta @wolfwave

@shekhardesigner thanks for the feedback. This is true, 2 weeks may be not enough to develop a detailed MVP. But it may be enough to create a workable solution to test the main hypothesis and move forward.

@oleg_kalyta Do you have a leaderboards?

Just after a day of being a hit, it is turning out to be a scam. Got a email from them saying - "We simplified the counting process. Now we don't count likes, only shares matter." Also, earlier - it was 1 share = 8 points, now 1 share = 1 point Likes doesnt matter anymore. Here is my prediction for tomorrow: We built it, we own majority or we make it open source. Makeup your mind makers.

@amarenselise Points gonna qualify top 10 ideas 💡, until the 16th. Then they will choose 1 and implement it.

@marioalcaraz Thanks :)

@twainmurua thanks for submitting. Now to get into shortlist, share it across socials to gain points. We are working now to add points to Ideas list.

@vzanini thanks for suggestion. I like to use Canvas too. Also I winner do not mind using customer development interviews it would be awesome!

@lachlankirkwood Thanks! Hope other companies/teams will also join the challenge :)

@tatiana_kozubniak Got you. May I have my idea removed then please? I no longer wish to participate. Kindly let me know when you do? Much appreciated. It's #71 - https://mvp-challenge.com/idea/N... Cheers.

@oleg_kalyta have you guys made your pick or is there still time for one more? #sent

@lyondhur we collect ideas till 16 June. Feel free to submit & share your idea in socials to get into the shortlist!

@oleg_kalyta cheers for the quick reply mate. So, is the shortlist based on social shares and clicks or the merit of the idea itself? Meaning: a super popular but poor or perhaps even nonsensical an idea could win all your time and building effort, based on how many clicks it has had? If that would be the case, how could I remove my idea then please? Best cheers. PS: selection metrics apart, I think this is a terrific endeavour.

Hey @oleg_kalyta, I got a response by Tatiana Kozubniak, but it seems she has deleted her comment (https://imgur.com/j5DJUjr). Could I please have my idea removed from the challenge? It's the #71 - https://mvp-challenge.com/idea/N... - I no longer wish to participate. Could you kindly let me know when you do? Cheers mate. Much Appreciated.

@danielkempe I like the idea. I was pondering a similar concept for my tutorials. It would be nice to have a pick-your-own path approach to educational content. I can also see it applying to a lot of other things like sales demos.

Yes! I’ve already done some designing. Would be a really useful app for lots of people. @hunterbecton

@thebliz_ working on it right now. Should be launched in couple of hours. Stay tuned :)

@thebliz_ https://mvp-challenge.com/ideas Looking forward for your feedback :)
