The problem it solves
Startups often hesitate to launch due to perfectionism, delaying their entry into the market. Many existing consulting services emphasize comprehensive solutions, which can overwhelm founders and distract from the critical need to test and iterate on MVPs.

The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work tools, such as Miro and Figma, facilitates collaboration for startups developing MVPs. Founders can leverage communities on platforms like Indie Hackers to connect with potential clients and showcase their expertise. However, the consulting model may require significant upfront capital for marketing and client acquisition, as building a reputation and trust in a competitive landscape can take time.
