For startup founders

MVP development for startups preparing to raise or validate

Working software before your next investor meeting. Fixed price, senior-developer-reviewed, and structured so your team can pick it up the moment funding lands.

Why startups pick us

Runway math that actually works

Fixed price, no scope creep

The price you agree at kick-off is the price on your final invoice. If scope changes we quote it separately — you always see the line item first.

You own the IP outright

Standard three-year NDA up front. Full code ownership on final payment. Nothing to negotiate mid-project.

Investor-demo ready

Live software, real user flows, real backend. Fits into a due-diligence data room, not just a pitch deck.

What we build

The kinds of MVPs that convert investor conversations

Not every idea belongs in a rapid MVP. Ideas that do fit have a testable core hypothesis, a first user or paying customer within reach, and a technical footprint we can honestly ship in four weeks or fewer.

Two-sided marketplaces with a first-hundred-users acquisition plan
SaaS dashboards for a specific vertical with a defined buyer persona
Consumer utilities validating a paid-conversion assumption
B2B tools replacing a spreadsheet or manual workflow
Analytics or reporting layers over an existing data source
AI-augmented workflow tools with a clear before/after time-savings claim

If your idea doesn't sit in one of these shapes, that's not a rejection — start a scope anyway. The scoping call is where we tell you honestly whether the four-week timeline is realistic.

FAQ

Founder questions we get most often

Will investors take a rapidly-built MVP seriously?

+

A working product with real user flows always beats a slide deck in an investor conversation. Investors are looking for signal that you can execute — and a live app you can demo answers that question directly. What they don't want is a Figma prototype dressed up as a product.

Do I own the code?

+

Yes. Once the final invoice is paid you own 100% of the intellectual property — source code, database schema, deployment configuration and all documentation. There is no license fee, no ongoing dependency on us, and no clawback.

Can my future team extend the codebase?

+

Yes — we build on a mainstream stack (React, FastAPI, MongoDB) that any competent engineering team can pick up. The four-week package includes full per-feature documentation specifically to make the handover painless.

What if I raise before delivery is finished?

+

That happens. The moment funding is confirmed, we can either finish the current scope as agreed or pause and re-quote the expanded scope on your new runway. There is no early-termination penalty.

Do you sign NDAs?

+

Every project starts under a standard three-year mutual NDA. You'll see the exact clauses on the Legal page before we ever see your idea.

Which industries do you not build for?

+

We deliver MVPs suitable for controlled validation. We do not deliver production-hardened systems for regulated deployment — meaning we're a great fit for pre-launch fintech / health / marketplace validation, but the client is responsible for the regulatory hardening required before serving real end-users at scale.

Bring us your hardest question

If your MVP can be scoped in an afternoon, we can quote it. If it can't, we'll tell you.
