In this remastered episode of The Startup Podcast, Yaniv Bernstein and Chris Saad dive deep into the most critical concept for early-stage startups: execution.

The harsh truth? Your MVP (Minimum Viable Product) probably sucks, but that's okay.

Chris and Yaniv break down the myths, missteps, and the right approach to iterating and refining your MVP until it becomes a product that users can’t live without.

In this episode, you will:

Discover why execution, not ideas, is where the real magic happens in startups
Learn how to create a true MVP that validates your riskiest assumptions
Understand the crucial difference between pivoting and simply starting over
Explore the counterintuitive approach to risk that successful startups embrace
Recognize the signs that it's time to pivot or shut down your startup
Gain insights into common execution mistakes made by early-stage founders
Develop strategies for overcoming emotional barriers to making tough decisions

If you're stuck in the early stages of your startup or need help to take your MVP to the next level, this episode is for you!
