MVP & Product Development for Startups

A working v1, on a calendar you can put in front of investors.

from €1,900

The Problem

Speed and credibility both matter, and most agencies are built for the wrong one. Some are too slow for a startup's runway. Others are too cheap or too unstructured to show an investor, a pilot customer, or a co-founder without embarrassment.

  • A deadline (a raise, a launch, a pilot) that doesn't move, regardless of how the build's going
  • No engineering co-founder, and no time to hire and onboard one before the deadline
  • A "quick and dirty" build that would need rebuilding the moment it works

What's Included

A scoped v1, not everything you can imagine

the Specification step exists specifically to cut scope to what proves the idea.

A fixed timeframe named in the package itself

you can put a real date in a deck.

A codebase built to extend after launch

not thrown away once it’s proven.

Weekly demos

so investors or co-founders can see real progress, not a status slide.

A defined path past launch

the option to keep building instead of a dead handoff.

Who It's For

Perfect for

  • Pre-seed to Series A founders with a fundraising or launch deadline attached
  • Founders without an engineering co-founder, or with one who's stretched too thin
  • Teams that need a demoable product, not a slide deck describing one

Outcomes

  • A working v1 you can put in front of an investor, a pilot customer, or a co-founder
  • A codebase that survives past the pitch — extended, not rebuilt, once it’s validated
  • A stated calendar you can commit to in a deck, backed by a written specification

Packages

TIER 01

Validation Sprint

One week to turn an idea into a written, buildable specification.

€1,900

→ 1 week · starts within 1 week

  • A structured working session to cut scope to what actually needs proving
  • A written specification: core flow, data model, and what's deliberately left out
  • A fixed price and delivery date for MVP in 8 Weeks, based on that specification

BEST FOR Founders who need a real scope and a real number before committing to build.

TIER 02

MVP in 8 Weeks

A working, demoable v1, built and shipped inside eight weeks.

€18,500

→ 8 weeks · starts within 2 weeks

  • Full build against the Validation Sprint specification (or a supplied spec of your own)
  • Weekly demos every Friday for the full 8 weeks
  • Core user flow, authentication, and the minimum feature set that proves the product
  • Deployment to production, source and credentials transferred on final payment
  • Features cut during Specification (available as a follow-on, priced separately).

BEST FOR A founder with a fixed 8-week window and a scoped, specific idea to prove.

TIER 03

MVP + Launch Support

The 8-week build, plus three months of support once real users show up.

€26,900

→ 8 weeks + 3 months · starts within 2 weeks

  • Everything in MVP in 8 Weeks
  • 3 months of bug-fix and small-iteration support after launch (bundled, not a separate retainer)
  • Priority response for launch-week issues
  • A handover call at the end of month 3 covering what to prioritise next

BEST FOR Founders who don't want a support gap the week real users start hitting the product.

How This Engagement Runs

Survey

We look at the idea the way an investor or a first user would: what actually needs proving, and what can wait.

Specification

Scope is cut to the minimum that proves the idea, written down, priced, and dated.

Build

Weekly demos for the full window — you watch the product exist in real time, not at the end.

Verification

Checked against the specification's defined core flow before it's called done.

Handover

Source, credentials and documentation transfer on final payment — yours, whether or not you keep building with us.

Frequently asked

Is 8 weeks realistic, or does it always slip?
It's the timeframe we scope to in the specification, deliberately — the Validation Sprint's job is to cut the idea down to what actually fits 8 weeks, not to inflate the estimate afterward.
What happens to features we cut during Specification?
They're written down, not forgotten — a natural follow-on package once the MVP is live and you know which of them users actually want.
Do you take equity instead of cash?
No. Fixed price, invoiced in the standard terms on /refund-cancellation-policy/ — this keeps the incentive clean on both sides.
What if we're not sure we're ready for an 8-week build yet?
Start with the Validation Sprint. A week and a fixed fee is a low-cost way to find out whether the idea is scoped tightly enough to commit to.

A real date. A real build. A demoable product to show for it.
