What Is A Lean Startup MVP Checklist?

A lean startup MVP checklist is the ordered list of validation moves Eric Ries' Lean Startup framework asks every founder to run before writing serious code or burning serious cash: 20 problem interviews, a smoke-test landing page, a 1-week proof of concept, a 30-day MVP, the first 10 paying customers, and a weekly pivot-or-persevere review.

Most founders try to run the lean startup MVP checklist in a Notion doc that 1 person updates. The Wapins lean startup MVP checklist runs on a single WhatsApp-shareable link — every co-founder, every early hire, every advisor sees the same validation progress, the same launch countdown, the same first-10-customers scoreboard, the same burn-rate ledger, in real time, without logging into anything.

The Lean Startup MVP Checklist — 6 Phases On One Link

Each phase has its own combo wapin (checklist + countdown + scoreboard + poll + split-money where relevant). The flagship lean startup MVP checklist bundles all 6 in one link.

1

Validate

20 Mom-Test customer interviews, smoke-test landing page, fake-door reserve test. Kill the bad idea in 14 days, not 14 months. Cost: $200 + your time.

2

Proof of concept

1-week scrappy build that retires the riskiest technical assumption. Pass criteria + fail criteria pre-defined. Demo to the founding team Friday. Vote kill or proceed.

3

MVP

Scope to ONE core action a customer will pay for. 30-day countdown. Out of scope: production polish, design, copy, onboarding. In scope: the one thing that proves customers will pay.

4

Pre-launch

30-day sprint — legal entity, payments wired up, ToS, support email, analytics, social handles, launch post, first-five-customer warmup. The lean startup MVP checklist holds the whole list.

5

First 10 customers

Track by name. Channel, ARR, win date, what they said in onboarding. The proof your startup is real. The lean startup MVP checklist scoreboard is the founding team's morale.

6

Pivot or persevere

Weekly Monday vote on data: revenue, retention, NPS, top problem from interviews. Pivot, persevere, zoom-in, zoom-out, kill — the call lives on the lean startup MVP checklist.
