Building an MVP should take weeks, not months. Yet we see Egyptian founders spending 6+ months on their first version. Here's what goes wrong and how to fix it.
Mistake #1: Building Too Many Features
Your MVP needs ONE core feature that solves ONE problem. That's it. Everything else is a distraction.
The Fix: Write down your core value proposition in one sentence. If you can't, you're not ready to build.
Mistake #2: Ignoring the Arabic Market
Many founders build English-only products, missing 400+ million Arabic speakers. RTL support isn't optional—it's essential.
The Fix: Plan for bilingual from day one. It's 10x harder to add later.
Mistake #3: Over-Engineering
Using microservices for a product with 100 users? That's over-engineering. Start simple.
The Fix: Monolith first. Scale when you have the problem, not before.
Mistake #4: No Analytics from Day One
If you can't measure it, you can't improve it. We've seen startups launch without any tracking.
The Fix: Add analytics before launch. Know your numbers from day one.
Mistake #5: Building in Isolation
The best MVPs are built with constant user feedback. Don't disappear for 6 months.
The Fix: Show your product to users every 2 weeks. Iterate based on real feedback.

We build MVPs in 4-8 weeks. Bilingual. Analytics-ready. User-tested. That's how you go from idea to empire.
