There’s probably no one who knows more about startups than Paul Graham. Having helped thousands of startups through Y Combinator, the startup accelerator he co-founded, there’s a thing or two to learn from his essays.

For startups, the product must be as minimal and as quickly iterating as possible.

For grown companies, the requirements might be different. Minimum Lovable Product or something like that.

The link is broken (points back the OP, should be bloatedmvp.com [LW · GW] ).
