If you have even the slightest interest in building a startup, if you have even the tiniest entrepreneurial bone in your body, read this story. Inspirational and educational.
Side note: MVP is Minimal Viable Product, the idea of the smallest, cheapest thing you can build to test out your idea before you commit that big chunk of cash.
