Why Most SaaS MVPs Fail (And How to Build One That Doesn't)

After building 30+ SaaS products, here's what kills most MVPs before they reach 100 users — and the exact framework we use to ship products that actually gain traction.

The Brutal Truth About MVPs

Most MVPs die not because of bad ideas, but because of bad prioritisation. Founders build what they imagine users want instead of what users will actually pay for on day one.

The 3 MVP Killers

1. Building too much

Six months of development, zero users, and a very expensive lesson in what nobody wanted. Fix: define the single action your user must complete to get value. Build only that.

2. No clear monetisation path

Pricing affects positioning, which affects who you attract, which determines if you ever reach product-market fit. Decide your pricing model before you write a line of code.

3. Building for the wrong user

Get hyper-specific. "SMB owners" is not a user. "A 42-year-old accountant running a 10-person firm who hates manual reconciliation" is a user.

Our Framework

We answer five questions before touching code: Who is the Day 1 user? What is their one painful problem right now? What does success look like in 10 minutes? What is the minimum feature set? How will they pay?
