Gate 6- How To Design and Build Your Product

Turn your idea into something real, fast.

Here’s where things get real – it’s build time! Gate 6 is all about creating your Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which is just a fancy way to say ‘the simplest version of your idea that you can test with real users.’ After all the planning and research, you’re ready to get hands-on. In this gate, you’ll design and make a basic version of your product or service that actually solves your user’s problem, without blowing a ton of time or money. Whether it’s a simple app prototype, a mock-up, or a test service, we’ll show you how to build something people can try (and give you feedback on) step by step.

Gate Structure

The Gate is divided into several Keys ( Themes), each focusing on a specific aspect of entrepreneurship. Each Key includes readings, discussions, practical assignments, and business-related deliverables.

Themes you will cover

  • To achieve this, you’ll explore the following four essential keys:

  • Key 1 : Identify Key Assumptions

  • Key 2 : Test your Key Assumptions

  • Key 3 : Design your Minimum Valuable Product ( MVP)

  • Key 4: Build Your MVP

What you will get from the Gate

By the end of Gate 6, you will be able to:

  1. Pinpoint the most important assumptions in your business idea – basically, what needs to be true for this to work (e.g. will people actually do X?).

  2. Run simple tests on those assumptions to see if they hold up in real life.

  3. Design a super-basic version of your product (your MVP) that people can actually use or experience.

  4. Build your MVP using tools you have – even if it’s just drag-and-drop websites or manual hacks. No coding skills? No problem.

  5. Get feedback from real users and learn if your solution truly works. You’ll use their input to make improvements or even pivot your idea if needed.

  6. Master the art of quick iterations: you’ll see how launching something small and early can actually save you time and money by guiding you in the right direction.
