Gate 6: How To Design and Build Your Product
entreprenerdsAbout This Gate
Gate 6 marks the transition from planning to building. After understanding your customer and testing your assumptions, it’s time to turn insights into action. In this stage, you will design and create a minimum version of your product or service that solves a real problem, delivers value, and generates meaningful feedback. Whether you’re building an app, launching a local service, or creating a new physical product, this gate helps you learn by doing—without wasting time, money, or effort on the wrong things.
