The good news: that calculus has changed. AI has collapsed the cost and timeline of building a real, working MVP. The bad news: most people using AI tools to build apps are doing it wrong - and creating technical debt that destroys them later.
This service is NOT for you if:
Yes - if we scope it right. The mistake most people make is trying to build their dream product as an MVP. An MVP is not a finished product. It is the smallest possible version that tests your core assumption and delivers real value to your first users. We have shipped apps in 30 days that went on to raise funding and onboard thousands of users. The key is defining the right scope in Week 1. That is what we do.
Three things. First: senior oversight. When you vibe-code alone, you get the AI's best guess with no one checking whether the architecture will hold up at 10,000 users. Our engineers review every decision with production experience behind them. Second: we've seen what breaks. We build your app knowing exactly which patterns fail - because we spend our days fixing the ones that did. Third: you get a product manager, a QA process, and a structured handover. You don't get that from a chat window.
Our 30-Day MVP is significantly less expensive than a traditional development engagement - which typically runs $80,000 to $200,000+ for comparable output. Exact pricing depends on your app's complexity and platform choice (iOS, Android, or web). We give you a fixed-price quote after the free scope call - no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're spending before we start.
Yes - and this is the question that separates us from every other "fast MVP" service. Our engineers build with scalable architecture from day one. We don't write throwaway code to hit a deadline. We've had clients take their 30-day MVP directly into seed and Series A conversations. Investors look at the product and under the hood. Both need to hold up. Ours do.
We offer continued engagement on flexible terms. Some clients go straight into a next phase build with us. Others take the handover and build in-house or with another team. The codebase is documented and clean specifically so you have that freedom. You are never locked in - your code, your call.
Yes. Full stop. You own 100% of the code, the IP, the assets, and everything we build together. We sign IP assignment agreements as part of our standard contract. Nothing we build for you is ever reused or shared. It belongs to you from the first commit.
We define the MVP scope together in Week 1, based on one question: what is the single most important thing your first 100 users need to do to validate that your idea works? Everything that answers that question is in scope. Everything else is Phase 2. It is a discipline, not a limitation - and it is the reason we can actually deliver in 30 days instead of 90.
Completely. The scope call is designed for exactly this. Bring your idea in whatever state it is in - a napkin sketch, a voice memo, a 40-slide deck. We help you focus it into a buildable MVP hypothesis during the discovery sprint. You don't need to have it all figured out before you talk to us.
We recommend the stack best suited to your app's requirements and your long-term goals. For mobile, that is usually React Native (cross-platform) or Swift/Kotlin (native). For web apps, we use Next.js, Node.js, or Python depending on the project. We discuss and agree on the stack during discovery - you are never handed a decision after the fact. If you have a preference or existing infrastructure to integrate with, we work around it.
We scope conservatively and track progress weekly so we never reach day 28 with surprises. If we identify a risk to the timeline mid-build, we flag it immediately and give you options: reduce scope to hit the date, extend the timeline by a defined amount, or reprioritize features. What we don't do is go quiet and hope. Communication is built into the process, not bolted on at the end.
Not at all. Our project managers are fluent in both founder-speak and engineering-speak. You describe what you want users to be able to do. We translate that into what gets built. You'll get weekly demos of real working software - not spec documents or Jira tickets. If something isn't right, you say so and we fix it. No technical translation required.
Yes. Our main office is in Los Angeles at 1250 S Los Angeles St, and we offer in-person working sessions for clients who want them. We also work with founders and businesses across the US remotely. If you're not in LA, the process works just as well over video - weekly demos, direct Slack access to your PM, and a launch day call. However you work best, we adapt.
Most of our long-term clients start with one focused engagement and grow from there. After launch, once you have real user data and a clearer picture of where to invest, we can scope a Phase 2 build together. You get the same team, the same standards, and continuity of knowledge about your codebase. No re-onboarding, no handoff meetings, no starting from scratch.
