Every startup guru says "launch an MVP first" - but do you know WHY this actually works?

The secret is Cunningham's Law: "The best way to get the right answer isn't to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer."
Here's the startup connection that blew my mind:

MVP Strategy = Cunningham's Law in action
Build-Measure-Learn = Post wrong → get corrected → iterate
Customer interviews often fail because people can't articulate needs
But show them something "wrong" and they'll tell you exactly what's missing

The psychology: Humans are wired to correct rather than create from scratch.

Real examples:
→ Dropbox's fake demo video got real user feedback
→ Airbnb's "broken" early site revealed what users actually wanted
→ Twitter started as a "failed" podcasting platform

The irony? Silicon Valley has been systematically using an internet psychology principle without realizing it.

Smart founders don't try to build perfect products - they build "wrong" ones that customers will correct into right ones.
