Short answer: Yes — if you do it right. At WANDR, our Startup Bootcamp helps early-stage founders go from idea to investor-ready MVP in just four weeks. Learn how to validate your idea, reduce risk, and test with real users before investing heavily in development.
Before we dive into the process, let’s define what an MVP actually is.
What is an MVP?
Before we dive into the process, let’s define what an MVP actually is.
MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. In UX terms, it’s a simplified version of your product that contains only the essential features needed to validate your idea with real users.
An MVP isn’t polished. It’s not your final product. But it is a powerful tool to:
- Test your concept in the real world
- Gather insights from users
- Refine your idea before scaling
- Avoid wasting time and money building something nobody wants
Should You Build an MVP?
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you have a clear product idea?
- Do you know who your target users might be?
- Have you defined your value proposition?
- Have you researched your market and competitors?
- Do you know which features are essential to launch with?
- Have you thought about monetization?
If you answered “yes” to most of these, you’re in a good position to start building your MVP.
Why Founders Choose WANDR’s Startup Bootcamp
Many of our clients come to us after trying to build a product without success. A common story: they spent thousands of dollars and several months with an agency, only to end up with a presentation deck or vague user flows—and no real product to test.
Case in point: FlipWell
One of our Startup Bootcamp clients came to us after wasting a year and tens of thousands of dollars with another firm. All they had to show for it? A report and some user flows—valuable, but not enough to launch or test anything real.
At WANDR, we help founders move forward with real assets they can use to validate, pitch, and grow their product.
What Makes Our Process Different?
We don’t just create screens—we align your vision with real user needs and strategic direction through a proven framework:
