I have struggled with this, always - "The product does not have to be perfect". We can do it 'phase-wise' - typical Agile way. Two perspectives to this: As an employee of a larger IT firm, convincing Business or key stakeholders that an MVP is not essential (from an IT perspective) is not going to work. Infact the typical ask continues to be - "I would need everything under the sun, yesterday". From a to-be entrepeneur perspective, to get your seed funding - an MVP is going to be an uphill task. It is the point where, Technology and Business matter less and the fine art of negotiations kick-in.
