MVP for Startups
Before development, we select the one or two flows that give users a reason to use the product. Other features stay in the plan for later releases. First-release scope is fixed before work starts.
When you need this
- →The investment round needs a working product, not a slide deck
- →The hypothesis must be tested on real users
- →You need first-release scope and budget before hiring an internal team
- →An internal product is needed quickly, without hiring a team
What's included
- Joint scoping: what goes into the first version, what waits
- Interface prototype and design on a ready component base
- Development on a proven stack: Vue or React, Node.js or Python
- Sign-up, payments, user account, admin panel
- Analytics from day one: events, funnels, retention metrics
- Product deployment, domain setup, and monitoring configuration
Process
How we work
- 01
Initial conversation
We clarify the context, arrange a call, and sign an NDA before materials are shared if needed.
- 02
Preliminary assessment
We review the process, data, and existing systems, then prepare an approach and sequence of work.
- 03
Plan and contract
We describe the first milestone: the work, the acceptance result, and the required time and budget.
- 04
Pilot and development
The first milestone may validate the riskiest part. The remaining work and acceptance process are stated in the plan.
- 05
Launch and support
We run acceptance and transfer milestone deliverables after payment. Documentation and training are included when the client needs them.
Post-launch support
We fix warranty defects for three months after delivery. Ongoing support, monitoring, and development are covered by a separate agreement.
Questions and answers
What can realistically be done in ten to fourteen weeks?
One or two user flows, sign-up, payments, and a minimal admin area. Integrations and security requirements can change the timeline substantially, so they are listed separately in the estimate.
Will it all have to be rewritten later?
This cannot be guaranteed in advance. The first release is designed for the agreed load and scenarios; some parts may need revision once real users arrive.
What if the hypothesis does not hold?
The client keeps the code, working release, and usage data. That is why the first version is limited to work that can test demand without building the entire planned product.
What happens after launch?
We review early user behavior and form the next milestone. If the client builds an internal team, we hand over the code and documentation.
