There were two other guys.

It's a very small company.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

The guys were not able to deliver the way I thought they would deliver.

So I ended up coding the whole thing.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Then that's when I realized, okay, so I get paid for my time.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

That's how I realized that I could do this as a job.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

So that is when I started reaching out to all the people that I had worked with before in the US.

And that's how consulting journey started.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Like it was a one person team to begin with.

So for us, as a services company or the execution engine for founders and other people, right?

We don't really have code as the MVP.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

For us, the MVP is the trust.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

How fast you can actually build the trust is our MVP.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And for us, it's not build once and let go of it.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Like every new client, you have to build trust.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

And how quickly you can build trust is what it comes down to.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

So when it comes to MVP for us, we have built a system which is like the transparency kind of a DMC.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Ultimately, we are also people on the other side of the fence.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

Obviously, we have the skills to build it, but showing the ownership, being in charge of the outcomes rather than, okay, you pay us so much for so much of our time.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S12 Bonus: Prashanth Tondapu, Innostax

So that is where our MVP is.
