Path to an MVP

Introduction

Developing an MVP for an eco-friendly cleaning products startup requires a strategic blend of understanding market needs, implementing sustainable practices, and highlighting the unique selling proposition. The MVP should focus on the core mission of producing effective, non-toxic cleaning solutions that align with environmental consciousness. It's essential to hone in on a few high-demand products to test the waters, rather than a broad range, ensuring the quality and effectiveness resonate with eco-conscious consumers. Thoughtful considerations around both packaging and distribution will also be pivotal in maintaining the startup's green ethos.
