MVP Validation: How to Test Your Startup Idea in 7 Days

95% of startups fail because they build products nobody wants. This guide presents a proven 7-day framework for validating your problem and market before writing a single line of code.

The 7-Day MVP Validation Framework

  1. Day 1: Problem Definition & Market Research — Define the specific pain point, identify target segments, and research existing solutions.
  2. Days 2–3: Customer Interview Preparation — Draft interview scripts, recruit 10–15 potential customers from your target segment.
  3. Days 4–5: Customer Discovery Interviews — Conduct structured interviews to validate problem severity and willingness to pay.
  4. Day 6: Feature Prioritisation — Map interview findings to a feature backlog, score by impact vs. effort.
  5. Day 7: Go/No-Go Decision — Evaluate against green light signals (strong pain, clear willingness to pay, market size) vs. red flags.
