Unpopular opinion: Most startups don’t need expensive dev agencies

This might be controversial, but:

Most early-stage startups don’t need a $10k–$50k agency.

What they actually need:

▪ A simple MVP
▪ Fast iteration
▪ Direct communication
▪ Focus on users, not features

Agencies make sense later, not at the beginning.

Early on, speed and flexibility matter more than perfection.

What do you think?
