MVP Development for Startups, in 4 Weeks
We scope, build, and ship a web or mobile MVP in four weeks, with a product engineer making the calls on what's actually in scope and a full-stack developer building it. One of ours has built a mobile marketplace app solo, backend through to Play Store release.
Why four weeks, and what that actually requires
Four weeks only works if scope is decided before week one, not negotiated during it. That's why a product engineer is involved from the start: deciding what's actually core to proving your idea and what's safe to leave out is a product judgment call, not just an estimation exercise. Once that line is drawn, a full-stack developer builds it — one core flow, end to end, rather than a dozen half-finished features.
Proof this works
ReVogue, a mobile marketplace for buying and selling pre-loved fashion, was built solo by one of our developers: backend, database, React Native app, and the Play Store release, start to finish. That's the shape of an MVP done right — scoped tightly enough for one person to own it end to end, and shipped, not left at 80% done.
A sample timeline by plan
40 hrs / month
A tightly scoped MVP: one core user flow, done well, with everything else deliberately left out.
80 hrs / month
An MVP with a couple of supporting features beyond the core flow, still shipped inside the four-week window.
160 hrs / month
A faster or more ambitious MVP timeline, with two workstreams moving in parallel to hit four weeks.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What actually fits in four weeks?
One core user flow, built well, end to end — sign-up through the action that proves your idea. We scope what's in and out together before week one starts, so four weeks is realistic, not a promise made before anyone's looked at the work.
What's deliberately left out of an MVP?
Anything that isn't needed to test the core hypothesis: admin tooling, edge-case handling, polish on flows most early users won't hit. We'll tell you what we're cutting and why, not cut quietly.
Can you build both a web and mobile MVP?
Yes — Next.js for web, React Native and Expo for mobile, often sharing backend logic so you're not building the same thing twice.
Is this fixed scope or part of the subscription?
It's a fixed-scope starter project. Many clients move to a subscription afterward for ongoing feature work once the MVP has proven the idea.
What if the scope needs to change mid-build?
We flag it immediately rather than silently absorbing it or blowing the timeline. Small changes usually fit; a real scope change means an honest conversation about the four-week target.
