From sketch to something real—fast.
In 3–6 weeks, we turn your conviction into a usable, testable MVP.
Before Code — What You Bring
You don't need a spec. You need a sharp lens and a clear goal.
Before we start, we'll align on three things:
- A clear problem statement (who you serve, what pain you're solving)
- Rough sketches or a written outline of the flow
- A single success metric (what we'll prove: users, signups, revenue)

Sharp-Promise Workshop
We kick off with a 1-hour deep dive that strips fluff from function.
We'll funnel every idea and feature request into one sharp promise:
"We help [who] do [what] faster/cheaper than [their current hack]."
This is the foundation. Everything else is optional. Let's assume this is a simple MVP, 3-4 weeks.
Week 1: Align & Scaffold
This first week is all about momentum and setup—not a full product.
What happens:
- Align on what matters
- Stand up infrastructure
- Begin shaping the core value loop
You'll get a link in Week 2 to click through and give real feedback. The first demo doesn't need polish—it needs to prove direction.
Weeks 2–3: You Steer, I Build
One weekly check-in. You steer. I build. We review progress, adjust scope, and lock next steps.
You get:
- Confidence in our shared direction
- Clear, consistent progress with minimal overhead
- A shared space for priorities (Linear or Notion)
Overall the goals are clear.
You're out there getting validation and support for the project, I'm building our shared vision and bringing it to life. You can always extend if you feel like we need more, but the ideal is to have REAL validation and demand before overcommiting.
Handoff Package: Your v1 Foundation
This isn't a prototype you'll throw away. It's your v1 foundation—live, clean, extendable, and yours.
At the end of 3 weeks, here’s what you’ll walk away with:
✅ Deployed product on your domain
✅ Clean, documented codebase (React + NestJS, or your preferred stack)
✅ Lightweight usage dashboard with metrics
✅ 30-day async support (Slack or Notion)
✅ Simple auth layer (if relevant)
✅ Stripe payments or donation logic (if needed)
✅ Analytics hooks (Mixpanel, GA4 ready)
✅ DNS + hosting handled (Vercel, Cloudflare, etc.)
✅ Dev & staging environments set ✅ Bug tracking & monitoring (e.g. LogSnag or Sentry)
✅ Beta tester invite or onboarding flow
✅ Founder dashboard for progress tracking
Plus: We’ve already considered everything from app store accounts to AI co-founder integrations. We don’t overbuild—but we don’t skip what matters either.

Proof Gallery: 3 Real MVP Wins
No fluff. Just shipped MVPs and metrics.
1. 4 Pilots, One Google Doc (EdTech)
Problem: Schools needed proof of alignment, not dashboards Build: A single document with curriculum samples Outcome: Booked 4 school pilots in 7 days
2. Deleted Half, 5× More Usage (Creator SaaS)
Problem: Users were overwhelmed by gamification Build: Stripped UX down to one publish/share flow Outcome: 5× daily usage, 70% lower infra cost
3. SMS > Portal (Real Estate SaaS)
Problem: Agents ignored web portal Build: Automated milestone SMS updates Outcome: 2-day faster deal closes, product funded from usage

FAQ — What Founders Ask Me
"Will investors think this is too early?" No. If you've got paying users, fast iterations, and a credible roadmap—they'll lean in.
"What if the pilot fails?" Good. That's a win. It means you saved months and now have direction.
"Do we have to use no-code?" We don't. We use smart tools like Cursor, Lovable, and v0 to save time WITHOUT sacrificing long-term code health.
