Start-Up: Ep 15 Minimum Viable Product, Part 1
Minimum Viable Product: A product with enough features to attract early adopters and validate a product idea Explicitly, it’s Tarzan. Don’t you just love the scene when it stopped in time to avoid the poor kitten into a roadkill? The inspectors thought it stopped because of a “ghost” and Dosan — who didn’t believe […]

Start-Up: One Long Road

If you take out all the side characters like JP and Injae, and the side stories like Grandma’s dimming vision, and Chulsan’s dating life, and simply focus on the main leads, Dosan and Dalmi, then you’ll see the whole entire journey of Dosan back to Dalmi […]
