MVP Development

We build web and mobile MVPs that test the riskiest assumption behind your idea with real users, and typically ship them in 3–6 weeks. For startups and corporate innovation teams, discovery, prototype, build, store release and analytics come from one team.

Products we shipped

What's included

Discovery Workshop and Scope

Together we define the problem, the target user and the assumptions to test, then sort features into this release and later ones using the MoSCoW method.

Clickable Figma Prototype

Before development starts, we turn the core flow into a clickable prototype, test it with target users and refine it based on their feedback.

Web or Mobile MVP

A Next.js web app, or an iOS and Android app built with React Native, Swift or Kotlin, with sign-in, the core flow and a simple admin panel.

App Store and Google Play Release

Store listing, privacy disclosures, beta testing and app review on your own accounts, handled by a team that has published 57+ apps on the App Store.

Measurement and Feedback Loop

We track activation, core flow completion and retention from day one, and combine them with user interviews to set priorities for the next release.

Growing It or Handing It Over

If the product works, we keep improving it in short cycles; when you hire your own team, we hand the code, documentation and infrastructure access over to them.

Questions

How long does MVP development take, and how much does it cost?

An MVP built around one core flow typically goes live in 3–6 weeks; a second platform or integrations such as payments or an ERP add time. Scope sets the price: after a discovery call we share a transparent quote as a fixed project price or a monthly retainer, and you can describe your idea first in our project planner.

What is the difference between a prototype and an MVP?

A prototype is a clickable design that shows how the product will look and flow; nobody can get real work done with it. An MVP is live, working software that real users use to get a real job done; we usually make the prototype first and then build the MVP.

Isn't a no-code tool enough for an MVP?

Sometimes, for testing demand quickly. If you need custom business rules, integrations or a mobile app that leans on device features, building on a codebase that can grow saves you a rewrite once the product takes off.

Should our MVP be on both iOS and Android?

It depends on which platform your users are on. If you're not sure, a web MVP or a single React Native codebase that ships to both platforms keeps the cost down.

Do you build MVPs for established companies too?

Yes. We help corporate innovation teams try a new internal tool or customer product idea with a small pilot, without disrupting existing systems, and connect the pilot to your ERP or existing APIs when needed.

What happens after the MVP launches?

We review the usage data and user interviews with you and help you decide whether to continue, change direction or stop. If you continue, we keep developing through a monthly support package or retainer, or hand the product over to your own team.
