You launched your Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
You now have a product with enough features that’s usable by early customers who can validate assumptions and provide feedback.
What happens next?

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) ➡️ Minimum Lovable Product (MLP)

Core features ➡️ Nice-to-have features
Reduced friction ➡️ User experience & product design
Early adopters ➡️ Broader appeal
Customer feedback ➡️ Product enhancements
Validation ➡️ Unique selling proposition
