Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in working with non-technical startup founders who have a clear vision and are ready to turn that vision into a product. Our ideal clients are:

• Pre-seed or seed-stage startups
• Founders preparing for a fundraise
• Executives seeking a technical partner or fractional CTO
• Teams needing rapid prototyping or a full MVP build

If you have a great idea and are looking for a reliable, accountable team to bring it to life — we're here to help.

The cost to build an MVP depends on the scope and complexity of your product. That said, we offer a structured process with clear stages:

• Idea Sprint: ~$15k (4 weeks)
• MVP Build: Call for custom pricing
• Launch & Scale Retainer: ~$10k/month

We provide transparent pricing and timelines after an initial discovery call.

Yes. Our team includes experienced product designers who specialize in crafting intuitive, user-friendly experiences. Our services include:

• User experience and flow mapping
• Wireframing and clickable prototypes
• UI/UX design for web and mobile
• Design hand-off to development

Good design is core to a successful MVP, and we treat it as a first-class citizen in every engagement.

After launch, we offer ongoing support through our Launch & Scale Retainer. This gives you continued access to:

• A dedicated fractional CTO
• Technical and product oversight
• Infrastructure monitoring and scaling
• Backlog grooming and KPI analysis

We help you transition from MVP to a scalable product with a solid foundation for your next funding round.

We use a structured 3-phase approach that allows most MVPs to launch in under 12 weeks:

• Discover: 0–2 weeks (Roadmap, backlog, prototype)
• Build: 2–10 weeks (Development sprints)
• Launch: 11–12 weeks (Hardening, analytics, deployment)

Timelines vary by scope, but our process is designed to ship quickly without cutting corners.

While we don’t directly raise capital for clients, we help you get fund-ready by building a strong foundation. This includes:

• Investor-grade MVP with clean architecture
• Product metrics and tracking
• Tech documentation and infrastructure summaries
• Optional support preparing pitch materials

Many of our clients have gone on to raise significant funding ($3M+), leveraging the products and assets we’ve helped them build.

We tailor our tech stack to the needs of your product, but most MVPs are built with modern, scalable technologies. Our common choices include:

• Vue or React for frontend
• Python (Flask, FastAPI) or Node.js for backend
• PostgreSQL or MongoDB for databases
• Cloud infrastructure on Azure, AWS or Google Cloud
• CI/CD pipelines and automated testing tools

If your product requires AI/ML, integrations, or other advanced features, we bring in appropriate tools and libraries to support it.

You own 100% of the code and intellectual property we develop for you. Everything we build is delivered to your repositories and infrastructure.

• We use your GitHub or GitLab account
• Cloud infrastructure is provisioned in your name
• We sign mutual NDAs and clear IP agreements
• No vendor lock-in — you're free to hire in-house anytime

Our goal is to empower you with full control over your product and technology stack.

If you’re planning to build your own internal team post-MVP, we make the transition as smooth as possible. Our hand-off includes:

• Code walkthrough and architecture documentation
• Infra and deployment playbooks
• Product roadmap and backlog export
• 1:1 onboarding sessions with your new hires

We’ve helped multiple startups scale from our builds to internal teams, and we’re happy to support you through that evolution.

We work side-by-side with you throughout the engagement, with regular checkpoints and demos. A typical collaboration includes:

• Weekly syncs or standups
• Shared Slack or Discord channel
• Access to our project management board
• Clear feedback loops and decision ownership

You’ll always know where things stand, and we treat your product like it's our own.
