Turning a Feature Factory into a Focused MVP
The Problem
A seed-stage HealthTech startup was building features based on assumptions. User retention was dropping because the core value proposition was buried under a bloated, unvalidated backlog.
Outcome
MVP launched to a 5,000+ user waitlist with a 4.8-star initial rating — zero wasted sprints on low-retention features.
