Ask HN: I'm looking for pre tech MVP anecdotes from successful companies
3 by DoreenMichele | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I watched a video by Michael Seibel where he talks about the fact that AirBnB didn't even have a way to take payments at first. You had to take cash and pay the host directly. https://ift.tt/3iC2TUD He also made the point that you need to stop thinking of your MVP as "special" and think of it like you are looking for an old shirt in your closet to paint in and destroy. And I really liked that. I also remember reading a comment on HN by a YC company saying they didn't even have any tech yet. They were doing intake via email and manually pairing up matches in their two-sided market. I searched the web for "pre tech MVP" and it thinks I typoed that. I searched HN and I like the top comment on this piece, but the article is no longer even available: https://ift.tt/2J839hj Personal anecdotes, links to articles or suggested search terms are all equally welcome.
