For startups

No technical co-founder?
We build the MVP.

MVP development as a fixed-scope 4-6 week sprint that ends with a deployed product, the complete codebase, and a technical roadmap. Enough to put working software in front of users and investors.

Two founders working through a product idea at a whiteboard

01 - The situation

Finding a CTO takes months. Your opportunity window doesn't.

If you need to build an MVP without a technical co-founder, one team covers product, design, code, and deployment.

Where most founders get stuck

  • Months of searching for a technical co-founder while the idea sits still
  • Agencies that quote six figures and six months for a first version
  • Freelancers who deliver code but no architecture, deployment, or plan
  • Investor meetings with slides instead of a product

What we do instead

  • Start within weeks, no recruiting required
  • Fixed scope and fixed price for the MVP sprint - you know the development cost before we start
  • One team covering product, design, code, and deployment
  • A live product you can demo in your next investor meeting

02 - What we offer

Three ways to work with us

01

MVP sprint

Our core MVP development service for pre-seed and seed startups: a fixed-scope, 4-6 week sprint to a working product.

What it is

Together we cut the idea down to the features that prove the concept. Then we design, build, and deploy a functional application - web product or AI product alike.

What you get

A deployed product, the codebase, the infrastructure setup, and a written roadmap for the next stage. Everything a technical due diligence will ask for.

02

Equity partnership

For a small number of startups per year, we take part of the fee in equity instead of cash.

What it is

The same MVP sprint, at a significantly reduced cash fee, in exchange for a small equity stake. We say no more often than yes - it has to be a fit.

What you get

You conserve runway at the stage where it matters most, and you get a technical team whose payoff depends on your product working.

03

MVP to v1.0

After validation or funding, we continue as your development team on a monthly retainer.

What it is

A dedicated pod of developers and a product strategist who already know your codebase, building out the full product.

What you get

You keep shipping while you hire. When your own team starts, they inherit a documented codebase instead of a prototype held together with tape.

03 - The MVP development timeline

Four weeks, week by week

From idea to live

Idea. We lock a fixed scope - the smallest product worth shipping.

Week 1

Strategy & architecture

Core user stories, product architecture, and a prioritized backlog. We decide together what's in and what's out.

Weeks 2-3

Build

Focused implementation of the core features, with check-ins and a demo at the end of each week.

Week 4

Deploy & handover

The MVP goes to a live environment. You get the codebase, documentation, and the v1.0 roadmap.

After

Your call

Continue with us, hire your own team, or pause. You own everything either way.

04 - Proof

How this looks in practice

Real engagements with clients in a similar situation - what they needed, how the engagement ran, and what they walked away with.

From raw court decisions to an AI research workbench: a complete legal-tech product built by a small team

A small team built a legal-tech product in roughly three months, in three phases. An ingestion pipeline processed tens of thousands of court decisions from a government database. A semantic search engine returns citations a lawyer can trust. A multi-tenant AI research workbench holds the daily work of a legal team.

A team learns to build with agents: one workshop week, then a production port at startup speed

One week of on-site agentic development training, then eight weeks of guidance. A scale-up's own developers ported their internal operations platform from an AI app builder to a production TypeScript stack. The port took more than 2,500 commits in six weeks, and the team itself wrote roughly three quarters of them.
