Hey producthunters 🚨 I'm super excited to share this book I've invested my heart and soul into writing. I learnt to code after work, and used programming as a way to dive into a completely new career a few years ago. Since then I've had the pleasure of teaching nearly 18,000 Students online and in-person about building startups and programming. I built my product company with $500 and thought it'd close multiple times until I completely re-evaluated how I'm building apps for people and asked myself why anyone should choose us. In this journey, I also had the experience to ideate, build, launch apps that have done good for people, products I can look beyond the profit and think about the actual good they do. And because we get to build so many impactful apps, and lucky for us a large percentage of them have gone on to be very successful, we thought it would make perfect sense to document the process we used to build these products Our process has gone onto build 11 multimillion-dollar companies, that have customers all across the world, generate millions in MRR and have even gone on to be acquired by companies like eBay. This is a no-bullshit, direct to the point book that I wrote from battle-tested processes, that have worked for some incredible founders. Some of the chapters include: # Death Of The MVP, MPI Is The New Gold Rush Stop building your product with viable features ‍# Who Am I selling To? Figure out WHO to exactly sell to and WHEN to get the highest conversion # Build To Grow Engineer your product with growth built into it # Solving One Problem Solve the one thing that brings in customers # Releasing Features As A Startup, The Build Cycle. Have a release cycle optimised for launching FAST # Engineering A Value Proposition Figure out, EASILY, how to systematically create value # What To Look For In Designers Don't get fooled with looks, the right designer will MAKE or BREAK your business .... and 8 more crucial chapters By no means have I "figured it out" but I've had the chance to deal with some founders that definitely have and I learnt from them the good, the bad and the ugly. This is serious knowledge gained from years of being in the trenches, and I've covered the main problems most people in the start up land face. This is not a "technical book" but an execution book, I cover the many prongs attached in building a "successful" start-up and I hope this adds value to you If you're a freelancer looking to build an app, a business person with an idea, someone who JUST started building an app, or someone well underway in the startup space I'm confident this will add value and potentially save you $100,000s in mistakes.

Understanding customer perspective is one of the most sought after skill in product engineers, by reading few sections of the chapters I second that Building Apps in 2020- The Right Way will not only help founders but will help in expanding the ideation and engineering process of many engineers. Thank you Vaibhav, for consolidating your lessons! Looking forward to gain many valuable insights!!!

Very useful book for founders,developers who have the dream of establishing a startup. It provides a lot of real time examples on how companies made their products reach out faster to the hands of end user. The best part which I like the most is the "Build to grow" section. The more you understand your end user needs and provide what they want in an elegant and easily approachable way, the more your product succeeds - is one of my takeaway after reading this book. Thanks Vaibhav for sharing your knowledge.
