Introduction

Building a successful startup is hard. Out of 100, 90% of startups fail and only 1% become a billion dollar company. Let’s forget about billion dollar company and launching a successful startups. First let’s understand how to test your idea quickly and launch your MVP in just 6 hours

For those who don’t know what MVP is. MVP is a stage where you build a product with minimum features and release it in the market then you solely focus on marketing and getting feedback on your product. Once you have got a good feedback, you can go ahead a launch your V2 of product.

Idea

So, Now let’s understand, how you can launch your MVP in 6 hours. Assuming that you already an Idea and you know a little bit of coding. For example: Let’s assume you want to build a platform that let’s you book appointment with a specific group of people.

To do this normal way is to spend a month or two to build the MVP and then release in the market and most probably by the time you release it, you will loose your motivation to work on it.

In the god mode, what you should be doing is. Find a company to which your product will resemble to. In this scenario, it will be similar to calendly.com, practo or cal.com .

Find product on Github

After this, you should go to github and search for calendly clone, cal clone or practo clone. If you are not able to find a project similar to this, search for appointment booking platform. If you are not able to find it on github, search for something different like doctor appointment booking platform etc. There is 97.4% chance that you will find the clone of your product on github.

Here I don’t mean you should go out for big repositories or open source project. There project code will be too heavy and will consume a lot of your time to understand it. Find repos that are small and have around 10-300 commits.

What next

Once you have find the github project. Clone it, change it according to your Idea and host it on vercel because it’s free or on some other platform that your familiar with.

Everytime, I use this strategy to launch my Idea MVP like Voxup, CodeUI, Buildfast and many more. So, just save time and launch your MVP quickly.
