An MVP is one complete customer journey.
An MVP that finds customers does one thing end to end. A user signs up, gets value and pays. We scope that journey first, cut everything that is not on it, and build it with the accounts, billing and admin you need to sell from week one.
A good fit for
Founders and small teams validating a SaaS idea, agencies productising a service, and businesses turning an internal tool into a product.

What we work toward
A live SaaS with real users, working billing, an admin you control, analytics that show activation and retention, and a roadmap for version two.
When it is time to make a change.

Billing and accounts were left for later
Stripe subscriptions, roles and invoices are part of the first release.

No way to see what users do
We wire activation, retention and feature events into analytics from launch.

The prototype cannot become the product
We build on Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL and Docker, with proper authentication.

We run our own SaaS and build yours with the same process.

After launch you can keep the team on a monthly plan, hand the code to your own developers or hire a dedicated developer from us.
