Plumbing before product
Password resets, billing, and permissions take time. We use pre-built components where they do the job.
A SaaS MVP tests whether businesses or consumers will use your software for one core workflow. We build it in 2 weeks: sign-in, the workflow itself, the roles it needs, and subscriptions if you want to test pricing. In our experience most SaaS MVPs can be built within this timeline using AI coding tools, as long as the first version stays focused on one job.

Founders often spend weeks on standard plumbing before building the workflow customers pay for. We use proven components for the plumbing so the build time goes into the core workflow.

One customer must never see another's data. We set up access rules early and test them.
Extra dashboards and settings can wait until users show what they need.
The workflow customers come for, and what they need around it.
Technologies we use for this
From the scope meeting to a SaaS product people can sign up for.
Day 1
Your one to three decision makers sit with our product manager or lead developer. We decide which part of the product will test your idea and write down what waits for later.
Days 2–3
We study your top two or three competitors, agree the pages and screens, finalise the user journey, and use AI to create a demo from your brand guidelines.
Days 4–9
Our developer builds the core features, sign-in, database, and the other parts the product needs, using AI coding tools such as Claude, Cursor, and Codex.
Day 10
We put the product on a server so people can use it online. A simple MVP does not need a CDN, queues, or microservices.
Days 11–14
AI writes the unit tests; people test the full user journey and we watch the backend. One or two rounds of changes, then launch and handover.

Yes, if testing pricing is part of the MVP. Otherwise billing can wait until users show they value the product.
Yes, if the core workflow needs it. Team invitations and roles are agreed in the Day 1 scope.
A typical 2-week MVP is priced between $3,999 and $8,999. The final price depends on what is being built: complex features such as escrow accounts or WebRTC calling cost more, and so does building for more than one platform (for example a mobile app, a desktop app, and a website).
Yes. We hand over the code and intellectual property after development, along with the access you need to keep running the product.
