B2B Marketplace - How to create a software MVP on the cheap

I have a startup plan that a few years ago got some decent attention but no funding. Idea was shelved and recently got dusted off. One of the lessons learned was we should have created an MVP (Min Viable Product) Marketplace to show investors. So I'm starting my research for building our MVP and interested in your experience. 1. What lessons did you learn from building an MVP (Software)? 2. Any software firms you would recommend? 3. Did the MVP help you raise funding or ??? ​ I'm sure there are dozens of questions I should be asking and appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Should I monetize my MVP SaaS on day one?

I built an MVP SaaS product in a month. It’s currently live and ready for users, but without monetization. The nature of the service makes it very straightforward to monetize, as people are already paying for similar services. I need to establish an entity and get a business bank account before I can properly monetize. The paperwork is in progress. I understand that early validation is critical. My gut tells me that I should wait until monetization is implemented before fully launching, as paid users are the only “true” form of validation. Or should I launch the product now as a free beta and get feedback ASAP?

We are a small startup (outerwear eCommerce) with a few USD millions in sales. We are focusing on profitability this year rather than growth. We would be happy to get the same revenue in 2023 but better profits. We call it a year of efficiency.
