Thanks for this interesting article Jason.

I just found your site through Mark Bao.

I've been chatting with him recently about entrepreneurship. I'm hoping to start-up something myself soon.

Anyways, good luck with Ramamia and this blog as well.

Thanks! Yup, the two are very closely related in my mind. I think by building for the minimum viable market, you're more likely to build the minimum viable product. If you don't have to service a vast and diverse set of users, you can really keep it simple.

ps- love the title/content of your blog. I've heard great things about the PDX startup community consistently over the past few months. Hopefully I'll check it out one day.

A nice insight. I think a minimum market is oftentimes part of a minimum product. It's useful to think of them separately, though the market is bound to drive the product. But as you say, that's all the more reason to start with a small piece of the market, which will help hone that minimum product message.
