As an entrepreneur, you’ve laid the groundwork and are ready to build a minimum viable product (MVP). However, with so many approaches to choose from, it can be challenging to decide on the best fit for your new business. In this article, we’ve got you covered. We’ve scoured the web and rounded up the most well-known types of MVPs — 13 to be exact. In this post, we discuss the pros and cons of each type and suggest how to pick the right one for your business.
Before we dive into the types of MVPs, it is essential to stress that product creation should always start with validating your product idea. Lean Canvas is a great tool for outlining your business model before launching into the development phase. In tandem with Lean Canvas and other agile methodologies, we also recommend using customer development, an effective way of connecting meaningfully with your customers and gathering user feedback.
MVPs can be split into two categories: high-fidelity and low-fidelity. High-fidelity MVPs take more time and effort to execute than low-fidelity solutions. On the other hand, high-fidelity MVPs provide you with lots of practical data from the get-go, making them valuable assets for hypothesis testing in early product development. Low-fidelity MVPs are more affordable and take less time to create than their high-fidelity counterparts. For one thing, it’s not necessary to do any programming when designing a low-fidelity MVP.
So, let&#8217;s discuss the objectives of high-fidelity solutions first. We create these types of products when we want to learn if there is market demand for the product, acquire early adopters and establish a market presence, test the value proposition, communication channels, and CTA, iterate more effectively on our designs, and optimize the product marketing strategy. Examples of high-fidelity MVPs are functional prototypes, 3D models, or mockups that allow you to examine user experience, interface, and engagement.
It’s essential to note that some of these MVPs require a lot of manual work to maintain after launch. Take Quora, for instance. During its MVP stage, the team had to write Q&amp;A themselves to attract users. But before we go deeper into the reasons behind that approach, let’s look at four of the most commonly built high-fidelity MVPs.
The first high-fidelity MVP is the Concierge MVP. This is where humans perform the actions that an automated algorithm should. Users are manually guided by humans working behind the scenes to power the app’s core functionalities. The concierge MVP is a good fit for projects based on recommendation engines or machine learning techniques. Customers receive a highly-personalized service right off the bat, making your product more attractive to potential users. You save money by validating your opportunity hypothesis before developing the entire intricate solution. You interact closely with real customers, which can lead to more accurate feedback. However, it requires a lot of time and effort to keep the product up and running after launch, and if you lack the resources, you may need to outsource the operation aspect of the business, driving costs up. Wealthfront is an excellent example of a Concierge MVP. Before the wealth management platform had automated functionality, the platform was operated by a team of experts who gave personalized investment advice to users.

The second high-fidelity MVP is the Wizard of Oz MVP. This is an enhanced version of the Concierge MVP. It also uses human-powered functionality but looks and feels like a real solution. Crucially, users aren’t informed of this human intervention. For all they know, the app is powered by complex algorithms. No need to build an expensive technological solution from the outset. 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Enhanced version of concierge MVP using human-powered functionality</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Appears like a real solution powered by complex algorithms, but users are unaware of human intervention</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Pros: avoids building expensive technological solution from outset, provides in-depth user interaction insights</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cons: requires significant time and effort to maintain, potential negative association with product if users discover lack of automation</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Example: Zappos started as a Wizard of Oz MVP by manually preparing and sending shoe orders until the company took off.</li>
</ul>
Piecemeal MVP:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Significant share of functionality manually powered, with missing features emulated using existing services</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Uses tried-and-tested tools like WordPress, Google Sheets, Typeform, and Zapier to create a functional solution</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Pros: quickly builds functional solution, offers engaging user experience with advanced functionality</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cons: difficulty in getting external products to work together, overdependence on third-party tools could threaten reliability of app</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Example: Steve Blank advised an agriculture drone startup to use an HD camera and helicopter to collect data and sell it before investing in drone technology.</li>
</ul>
Learn if the product has practical value by: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Forums/Communities: Collect user feedback and test problem viability by sharing your solution on platforms like Hacker News or Reddit.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Surveys/Questionnaires: Test your product hypotheses via surveys or customer interviews using tools like Typeform or Google Forms.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Landing pages: Create an engaging landing page that illustrates your value proposition and promote it on sites like Product Hunt.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Explainer videos: Design a short introduction video for social media platforms and forums.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Advertising campaigns: Use customer research to create targeted campaigns and analyze engagement data to test hypotheses.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mockups/slide decks/presentations: Suitable for presenting at sales meetings or startup pitches.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Crowdfunding campaigns: Raise funds before building a functional product on platforms like Kickstarter or Seedrs.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Idea spotting networks: Submit your startup idea to platforms like AngelList or attend startup hackathons and tech conferences to network with peers and potential investors.</li>
</ul>
Low-fidelity MVPs are a cost-effective way to test a product idea. They don&#8217;t require much development and can be executed quickly. For products that don&#8217;t need complex features, a landing page MVP or explainer video can showcase their value to potential users. On the other hand, products that require machine learning may benefit from a high-fidelity MVP, such as a Concierge or Wizard of Oz MVP. While they take longer to build, they can increase the chances of attracting investment and getting user feedback.
When choosing an MVP type, consider time constraints and how soon you need to go to market. Low-fidelity MVPs are ideal for confirming market demand quickly, while high-fidelity MVPs may take weeks to months to build. It&#8217;s important to prioritize features, choose startup metrics, and break down the product backlog before beginning MVP development.

Innovative Approaches to Validating Your Startup Idea

Understanding Proof of Concept, Prototype, and Minimum Viable Product: Key Differences and How to Apply Them
When it comes to agile software development, there are three distinct concepts that tend to get lumped together: proof of concept (PoC), prototype, and minimum viable product (MVP). While there are similarities between these concepts, they are not interchangeable. In fact, each one plays a unique role in the product development process. This article will explore the differences between PoC, prototype, and MVP, examine when to use them, and provide examples of each.
<h2>Proof of Concept</h2>
A proof of concept (PoC) is a test of an idea or assumption. It is a way to determine whether a certain technology or technical approach is possible to add to your product. For example, you might create a PoC to confirm if it’s possible to pull data from WhatsApp API into your product. PoCs are typically tech tasks and are executed by software developers at various points throughout the product development process.
<h2>Reasons to create a PoC</h2>
PoCs have several key benefits, especially during the early stages of product development. They can help:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Avoid technical pitfalls by testing potential solutions before implementation.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Validate technical hypotheses early in the development process.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Save time by starting small and conserving resources.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Types of PoC</h2>
The most common type of PoC is proof of technology, which is a short experiment carried out by developers to determine which technologies or technical approaches will work best for your product. These tests can take a few days to complete, depending on how deep or complex the task is. PoCs are less tangible than prototypes as they are not customer-focused tasks and rarely include a visual element or user interface.
<h2>Tools to build a PoC</h2>
Since they are mostly abstract, code-related tasks, there are no specific tools for building PoCs. However, PoCs can take the form of demos or animations. In that case, tools like Figma or Vimeo may be used to create a clickable proof of concept.
<h2>Cost of development</h2>
The cost of creating a proof of concept can vary depending on the nature of the task, its complexity, and the type of specialist assigned to it. However, PoCs rarely require a dedicated budget, and the cost is typically deducted from the product team’s budget.
<h2>Example of a PoC</h2>
In 2019, Ben Nadal, co-founder, and principal engineer at InVision, created a PoC for a hypothetical feature called ‘Screen Flow.’ The feature would enable InVision users to view their prototype design in a hierarchical map based on embedded hotspots. Nadal coded a quick demo of the feature in Github to test the idea&#8217;s feasibility, from a technical perspective.

<h2>Prototype</h2>
A prototype is a basic mock-up of the product you want to build. It is an interactive design that visualizes how end-users will interact with your product. The process usually consists of designing several mock web/app screens organized in a logical flow.
When it comes to developing new and unique products, prototyping is the natural next step after the product discovery stage. It’s a way of giving substance to your idea. Although it shares some similarities to an MVP, the prototype appeals to a different target audience. Early adopters are product creators and stakeholders, as opposed to real users.
Reasons to create a prototype
The prototype is created to map out the big picture and is not intended to get bogged down by small details that are unlikely to make it into the final design. Instead, prototypes:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Illustrate the product idea so stakeholders can visualize it and provide feedback.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Test the feasibility of the product idea and determine any gaps in the user experience.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Provide a roadmap for development.</li>
</ul>
To help stakeholders visualize our product idea and demonstrate how it will work to potential investors, we use prototypes. Prototypes are design-based and can be created quickly and at a lower cost than MVPs.
At Triolla, we use different types of prototypes depending on the project&#8217;s needs. Rapid prototyping is our go-to when we need to quickly illustrate a new idea and gather early feedback from stakeholders. Evolutionary prototyping involves gradually adding new components or changing existing ones based on feedback over time. Incremental prototyping involves designing prototypes for individual features that will be merged in the future, while extreme prototyping is typically used in web application development.
We use tools such as Figma, InVision, and Adobe XD to build our prototypes, and the cost of development depends on the tool used and whether a freelance designer or agency is hired.
In addition to MVPs, there are other approaches to new product development, including Minimum Lovable Product (MLP), Minimum Marketable Product (MMP), and Minimum Awesome Product (MAP). These approaches vary in their focus on meeting user needs, creating a unique user experience, and refining core features for a better user experience.
While Proof of Concept (PoC), Prototype, and MVP each have distinct roles in new product development, they are not all mandatory stages. The choice of approach depends on the project&#8217;s needs and scope, with PoCs validating technical hypotheses, prototypes testing demand and user experience, and MVPs validating opportunity hypotheses, confirming product viability, and attracting early adopters and seed funding.
In summary, new product development requires idea validation to reduce the risk of failure and conserve resources. Incorporating PoCs, prototypes, and MVPs into the development process can help achieve this goal and lead to a successful product launch.
