Fabrice Grinda is the smartest of us all... and when he explains, with tremendous speech skills, how to build an MVP for less than 20k$, we don't want him to bring a golf/partnership/handicap/scoring app as an example ! Come on Fabrice...

Excellent episode by the way : https://youtu.be/2VXJNBt_grk
