Outsourced product development for startups, tend to be sub-optimal (Lack of alignment of vision, indiscipline w.r.t prioritization, cost over runs etc.).<p>We're running an experiment now. We tightened up the supply side. Picked 5 really good, elite app development companies (ex-product founders, shipped products, scaled to MM users etc.). Have signed them up to build 1 product every 2 months for $10K. The only constraint imposed on the startup/entrepreneur is that they can choose the hypothesis(/es) they'd like to prove and the decision on product features would be collaboratively arrived at, along with the dev shops.<p>With predictable cost, launch date and experience of people who've shipped products, I guess we would be able to nail a good MVP for startups.<p>I wonder if anyone here would like to opt-in for this. You need $10K cash though!<p>Sign up if you'd like to experiment - email me ashwin@contractiq.com
