From validated idea to production-ready MVP. One focused team handling strategy, design, and build — so you can focus on customers.
Choose Your Track
Three build paths. Same rigorous process. Chosen based on your timeline, budget, and technical requirements.
1 — 2 weeks
A fully clickable Figma prototype for real user testing — before a single line of code is written. Validates flows, messaging, and willingness to pay.
Best for: Pre-seed founders, design sprints, investor conversations
3 — 4 weeks
A fully working product built on Webflow, Bubble, or Glide. Real users, real data — no engineers required. Perfect for proving demand before hiring a dev team.
Best for: Non-technical founders, marketplace ideas, B2B SaaS with simple flows
8 — 12 weeks
A production-ready application with a real codebase, database, and infrastructure. Built to hand off to your engineering team or scale independently.
Best for: Seed-stage startups, enterprise pilots, technical co-founder replacements
How We Work
A locked process that removes ambiguity. Every sprint has an output. Every output has a sign-off. No surprises, no scope creep.
What You Receive
Not a folder of Figma files — a handoff you can demo to investors tomorrow and hand to engineers next week.
"We don't just hand over a zip file. We hand over a product you can demo to investors tomorrow."
Technology
We don't pick what we know best. We pick what gives you the largest talent pool when it's time to hire.

|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend | Next.js 14 | SSR/SSG, App Router, best SEO, largest React talent pool globally | Remix, SvelteKit, Astro |
| Backend | Node.js + Express | Ubiquitous, massive ecosystem, easy to hire for in any market | FastAPI (Python), Go Fiber |
| Database | PostgreSQL + Prisma | ACID, relational integrity, type-safe ORM, zero lock-in | MySQL, MongoDB, Supabase |
| Auth | Clerk / NextAuth | OAuth, magic links, RBAC out-of-the-box — zero auth tech debt | Supabase Auth, Auth0 |
| Hosting | Vercel + Railway | Edge network for frontend, managed Postgres + Node for backend | AWS (ECS + RDS), Render |
| Payments | Stripe | Global, PCI compliant, subscriptions, invoices, 135+ currencies | Paddle, Lemon Squeezy |
| Analytics | Posthog | Event tracking, session replay, feature flags — open-source, no lock-in | Mixpanel, Amplitude |
Failure Modes
Most MVPs fail before launch. The patterns are always the same. Our process is designed to prevent them.
Building too many features before getting a single user
MoSCoW prioritisation in week 1. Scope is locked before design starts. No gold-plating.
Skipping user research and building based on assumptions
Mandatory discovery sprint. 5+ user interviews conducted before any wireframe is drawn.
Choosing a tech stack no one in your city knows how to hire for
Stack consulting based on your future hire profile and location — not our internal preference.
Adding analytics as an afterthought — losing weeks of behavioural data
Posthog is wired in and event-tracked before the first real user ever touches the product.
Launching without a feedback loop — iterating blind
A beta cohort of 20 users is recruited and onboarded as part of the launch sprint — not after.
