An MVP that validates — not a prototype that gathers dust
Most founders don't fail because they build the wrong thing — they fail because they take too long to find out. An MVP exists to answer one question: will people use and pay for this? Everything that doesn't serve that question is a distraction.
I build the smallest version of your product that delivers genuine value to early users. Not a clickable mockup, not a no-code stitch-up that breaks at 50 users — real, production-grade software you own outright and can scale the moment traction shows up.
What's included
Everything you need, built properly — no shortcuts.
Core feature development
We identify the single feature that proves your value, and build it properly. No padding, no feature creep.
Auth & user management
Secure sign-up, login, roles, and profiles on a database architecture that scales past launch day.
Responsive by default
A polished interface that works flawlessly on mobile, tablet, and desktop from the first commit.
Payments & billing
Stripe integration so you can charge users — and prove willingness to pay — from day one.
Deployment & hosting
Live on your own infrastructure with CI/CD, domains, and SSL configured and handed to you.
Analytics & feedback
Event tracking and feedback capture built in, so you learn what users actually do — not what they say.
The full scope
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price — you know exactly what you're getting before we start, and you own all of it when we're done.

Built with a modern stack
Proven, well-supported technologies — chosen for reliability, not novelty.
Pre-seed founders
You have an idea and need something real in front of users before raising or quitting your job.
Idea validation
You want to test demand with a working product, not a survey or a landing page.
Investor demos
You need a credible, working product to anchor your raise and de-risk the bet for investors.
Common questions
Everything founders usually ask before we start.
A Minimum Viable Product is the simplest version of your product that delivers real value to early users — enough to validate demand without over-building. It's real software, not a mockup.
Typical delivery is 4–6 weeks from kickoff to a live product, depending on scope. We define the exact timeline together during scoping.
Every MVP is scoped and priced individually with fixed pricing — no hourly surprises. After a free discovery call I send a clear scope and quote within 48 hours.
Completely. You get the full source code, all credentials, and IP assignment on signing. I never take equity and never lock you in.
Every engagement includes 30 days of post-launch support. Many founders continue with me for iteration and scaling once traction shows up.
