SaaS MVP Development

SaaS MVP Development That Doesn't Become Your Series A Refactor

The MVP you ship today becomes the foundation your Series A round will be built on — or rebuilt on. Most US founders make one of two mistakes: building too little (a demo that can't survive real users) or building too much (an 18-month timeline that runs out of runway before reaching product-market fit). Our SaaS MVP engagement starts with a hard scoping conversation about what your MVP actually needs to prove, then ships exactly that — with architecture that won't need to be torn down when you raise.

What's Included in an MVP Engagement

1. Product scoping workshop. Two days of intensive scoping with your founders. We map the core product hypothesis, the critical user journey, and the absolute minimum set of features required to validate the hypothesis with real users.
2. Architecture and data model design. We design the database schema, multi-tenancy model, and core infrastructure as if you'll have 50 enterprise customers in 18 months — because if the MVP works, you will. The wrong data model now becomes a 6-month migration later.
3. Full-stack engineering. Production code in React/Next.js (frontend), Node.js or Python (backend), PostgreSQL or MongoDB (data), AWS or GCP (infrastructure). We default to a stack that's familiar to the US senior engineer market — so you can hire when you raise.
4. CI/CD and test coverage from day one. Automated deployments to staging and production, integration test coverage on critical paths, and observability instrumented from launch. No "we'll add tests later."
5. Bi-weekly investor-ready demos. You get something demoable every two weeks — useful for investor conversations, design partner check-ins, and internal team alignment.

Timeline & Cost

Typical SaaS MVP engagements run 8–16 weeks depending on complexity. Pricing scales with scope but most engagements land between $60K and $180K. We give you a fixed-scope, fixed-price quote after the scoping workshop — no open-ended retainers, no surprise invoices.

Who This Is For

US founders with deep domain expertise and a clear product thesis but no technical co-founder; angel-funded or pre-seed companies racing to a fundable demo; or operators within larger companies launching a new SaaS line that needs to ship fast without diluting the main engineering org.
