What is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)?
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is the smallest version of a product that delivers enough value for real users to use it and pay for it, and that generates enough learning data to inform the next development decisions. It is a production-ready application, not a prototype.
How much does MVP development cost?
MVP development costs range from $12,000 for a focused web or SaaS MVP to $50,000 for a marketplace or complex mobile MVP. We provide fixed-price proposals after a free scoping session.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
A production-ready MVP takes 8 to 12 weeks for a focused web or SaaS product. A marketplace MVP takes 10 to 16 weeks. We deliver a working build to staging after the first 2-week sprint.
What features should I include in my MVP?
Include only what is necessary for users to experience the core value proposition. This typically includes auth, the primary workflow, billing, basic onboarding, and internal analytics.
Will the MVP architecture scale as my product grows?
Yes. We build MVPs on architectures designed to scale (PostgreSQL, REST API, Row-level multi-tenancy, AWS Fargate) to avoid the need for a rewrite as you grow.
Do you help with product strategy and feature prioritization?
Yes. We operate as a product partner, challenging your feature list against the minimum viable definition to protect your timeline and budget.
Is the MVP code investor ready and auditable?
Yes. The codebase is fully documented, tested, and follows clean architecture patterns that pass technical due diligence at Seed and Series A stages.
What happens after the MVP launches?
The first 30 to 90 days post launch are managed under hypercare. We also offer growth retainers for continued feature development and transition support if you hire an internal team.
