From idea to product in front of users, fast
A first version in about six weeks. Scoped hard enough to ship, built well enough to grow when the idea proves itself.
Six weeks, mapped out
The default shape of an MVP with us. The date is fixed on day one; scope is traded against it every week.
W1
Scope
Riskiest assumption named, one core flow chosen, cuts agreed.
W2
Design
Clickable screens and the data model, decided together.
W3
Build
The core flow starts working in a staging environment you can open.
W4
Build
Accounts, payments and the unglamorous edges.
W5
Test
Real content, real devices, first friendly users.
W6
Launch
Live, with analytics and error monitoring switched on.

What you get
Ruthless scoping
We cut the idea down to the one flow that tests your riskiest assumption. Everything else waits for version two.
Working product
Not a prototype, not a demo. Real users, real accounts, real payments if the model needs them.
Scalable foundations
Boring, proven technology arranged so the MVP does not need a rewrite when traction arrives.
Launch support
Analytics, error monitoring and a feedback loop, so the weeks after launch produce decisions instead of guesses.
First versions we scope well
A marketplace
Two sides, one matching flow. The MVP proves that people on both sides show up and transact.
A booking product
Availability, scheduling and payment in one flow, replacing the phone calls and spreadsheets it competes with.
An internal tool going commercial
The spreadsheet-and-scripts process that runs your company, rebuilt as a product others will pay for.
How we approach it
The first week is spent deciding what not to build. A smaller scope shipped in six weeks beats a bigger one shipped in six months.
We use proven building blocks for the standard parts (auth, payments, hosting) and spend the custom effort on the part that makes your idea different.
After launch we help you read the data: what users did, where they dropped off, and what that means for the next iteration.
Typical stack
- Next.js
- React Native
- Firebase
- PostgreSQL
- Stripe
- Vercel
Frequent questions
Most MVPs we build land in a defined fixed-price range agreed before we start, depending on the number of user flows. You know the full cost before any code is written.
