MVP Development for Startup Founders
Turn your app idea into a product real users can try. We help you cut the idea down to the features that prove it, then design, build and launch a web or mobile MVP, with weekly demos and every line of code in your own repositories.
MVP development for US, UK and EU founders: web and mobile MVPs, usually built in 8–14 weeks. You own the code. Get a written estimate after a short call.
Overview
Turn your app idea into a product real users can try. We help you cut the idea down to the features that prove it, then design, build and launch a web or mobile MVP, with weekly demos and every line of code in your own repositories.
Idea to Scope
A short discovery that turns your idea into a feature list, user flows and a clear first release.
Clickable Prototype
Designs and a clickable prototype you can show users and investors before code is written.
Mobile MVPs
iOS and Android apps from one codebase with React Native or Flutter.
Web & SaaS MVPs
Web apps and SaaS products built with React, Next.js and a managed backend.
AI Features
Add an AI assistant, search or automation when it is core to your idea.
Launch & Analytics
App store and web launch with analytics, so you learn what users actually do.
Written Estimate Before You Sign
You see the scope, the assumptions and the price before you commit; changes are estimated before they are built.
Weekly Demos
You see working software every week, not just status reports.
You Own Everything
Code, designs, accounts and IP transfer to your company. Repos live in your GitHub.
Built to Grow
Clean architecture so your MVP can become version two without a rewrite.
Discovery & Scope
A short call and follow-up to agree the problem, first users, must-have features and success measures.
Written Estimate
Scope, milestones, assumptions and price in writing, so you know what is included before you sign.
Design & Prototype
User flows and clickable designs you can test with users before development starts.
Build in Milestones
Working software every week, with a demo and your approval at the end of each milestone.
Test, Launch & Hand Over
Device and browser testing, store or web launch, then code, accounts and documentation handed to you.
Non-Technical Founders
A senior lead who explains every decision in plain language.
Pre-Seed & Seed Startups
Validate with real users before raising or hiring.
Founders Restarting a Build
We review what exists and tell you honestly whether to fix it or rebuild.
Corporate Innovation Teams
Test a new product idea without tying up your core team.
How much does an MVP cost?
Cost depends on the number of user roles, platforms, integrations and design depth. After a short discovery call you receive a written estimate listing the features included, the assumptions behind it and what is left for later. Our free app cost calculator gives a first planning range.
Can you give me a fixed price?
Yes, once the features and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing we can price the build for that scope. Before then any figure is an estimate, and we show which assumptions could change it.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Most MVPs launch in 8–14 weeks from kickoff, depending on platforms and integrations.
Do I need a technical co-founder?
No. A senior lead acts as your technical partner, explains trade-offs in plain language and documents everything so a future CTO can take over.
What happens in discovery and scoping?
We talk through the problem, the first users and how you will judge success. You get a feature list split into must-have and later, the main user flows, open risks and a recommended platform, so the estimate is based on something written down.
What do I receive at the end of the MVP?
A working web or mobile app in your accounts, the source code in your repositories, designs, a short technical document covering setup and architecture, and access to analytics so you can see what users do.
How do you decide which features go in the MVP?
Each feature is checked against one question: does the first version need it to test the idea? Features that do not are listed for a later release, so the first build stays small and the backlog is not lost.
What technical architecture do you use?
Usually a React Native or Flutter app, or a React web app, on a managed backend such as Supabase or Firebase with PostgreSQL. We choose the simplest setup that fits your data, security needs and expected growth, and explain the trade-offs in the estimate.
What are the milestones?
Discovery and scope, clickable designs, a first working build, feature-complete build, testing and launch. Each milestone ends with a demo, and you approve it before the next one starts.
How is the MVP tested?
Code is reviewed before it is merged, key flows get automated tests, and each release is tested on real iOS and Android devices or major browsers. You also test each demo build yourself before launch.
How do you make the estimate?
We break the agreed features into tasks, estimate the effort of each with the engineer who will lead the build, and add time for design, testing and project management. The estimate lists its assumptions, so you can see what would make it go up or down.
Who owns the code and the idea?
You do. We sign an NDA before the first call and a work-for-hire IP assignment in the contract. Code lives in your repositories from day one.
Should my MVP be a mobile app or a web app?
If users need it on the go or rely on phone features, start with a cross-platform mobile app; otherwise a web app is usually faster and cheaper to test. We recommend one in your estimate.
