MVP Development · For startups
From thesis to live product in 8–16 weeks.
We've taken four of our own products from idea to market on this cadence. The same system, validation sprint, production build, instrumented launch, is available to US founders, fixed-scope and USD-invoiced.
An MVP is a bet, not a brochure
The point of an MVP is to find out whether strangers will pay, everything that doesn't serve that question is decoration. So we start with a validation sprint: research, a working prototype, real users. If the thesis doesn't survive contact with the market, we tell you before the expensive part begins.
When it does survive, we build to production standard from day one. "MVP" describes the scope, not the quality, a product that falls over at the first hundred users hasn't tested anything except your patience.
The cadence, concretely
Weeks 1–3: validation sprint and product strategy. Weeks 3–6: brand, UI/UX system, and architecture. Weeks 6–14: the build, web and mobile, AI-native where it earns its place, instrumented for learning from the first session. Launch ships with go-to-market plumbing, not just a URL.
Fixed scope, agreed up front. A single focused AI product ships in a 3–4 week AI Sprint from $6,000; a full venture build we co-found on equity plus a minimal fee, because we'd rather own the outcome than bill the hours.
Proof
Four products, under two years
Mentzi, AurumOS, Depo, and ZerocodeAI each went from thesis to live product in 8–16 weeks, our own money, our own risk. That is the cadence we bring to the founders we build for.

Can you really ship an MVP in 8–16 weeks?
It is the observed cadence across all four of our own product launches. The discipline that makes it possible is fixed scope and a validation sprint before the build begins.
What happens after launch?
Whatever the structure says: in a venture build we stay on as your technical partner; in a fixed-scope build you get complete source and documentation, plus the option of an ongoing partnership.
Do you work with US startups and invoice in USD?
Yes, remote-first with US-hours overlap, invoicing in USD. We'll also tell you honestly when a full build isn't the right first step.
Sixteen weeks from now, this is live.
