MVP to Scale – Venture Club Session Recap

From MVP to scale-ready: the transition phase most ventures skip, unbiased market validation and metrics beyond revenue.

Roundtable
5 July 2023
The question on the table

What has to happen between a working MVP and a scale-ready product that most ventures skip?

Recaps are anonymised by design: no names, no companies.

The session

Members dissected why ventures fizzle out after an enthusiastic MVP phase, and what it takes to reach scale: governance and setup, unbiased validation outside the corporate customer base, and an explicit transition phase that aligns the venture with the parent's systems.

Key insights

Five key insights

  1. 01

  2. 02
    Beware premature integration

    Bringing the venture into the corporation too early stifles growth and innovation.
