From Idea to MVP: How to Plan, Design and Build a Startup App

Go From Idea to MVP — Without Wasting Months (or Budget) on the Wrong Build

A 2 hour hybrid session on planning, designing, and building a startup app the right way.

Most founders build the wrong thing first — burning months and money on features nobody asked for. In this hybrid session, MOS Creative CEO Max Kryzhanovskiy breaks down how to plan, design, and build an MVP that actually tests your idea. You'll leave with a clear framework for your next build, plus a look at the AI-assisted workflows speeding up development right now.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

• You have a startup idea but aren't sure what to build first
• You're responsible for turning a concept into something users can try
• You want to use AI-assisted development but don't know where to start

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

• How to scope an MVP that tests your riskiest assumption first
• A framework for making UX/UI decisions without a full design team
• The most common startup product mistakes — and how to sidestep them
• A look at AI-assisted development workflows that cut build time and cost
• Tools and resources referenced and demonstrated during the session
