Ship the product, skip the drama
You have a product idea and a window to prove it. We build MVPs and SaaS products that launch: scope cut honestly, foundations laid properly, and the boring-but-essential parts — billing, auth, admin — included from day one rather than discovered in month four.
A product, not a prototype
The core loop, done well
The one workflow your product exists for, built properly. Everything else earns its way in later — that discipline is most of what "MVP" should mean.
Billing from day one
Subscriptions, trials, upgrades and invoices via Stripe — using Laravel's mature billing tooling, not weeks of custom payment code.
Auth, teams & permissions
Sign-up, SSO where needed, team accounts and roles — the plumbing every SaaS needs and no founder should pay to have reinvented badly.
Admin & support tooling
See your users, fix their problems, answer "how many signed up this week?" without a developer. Products without admin tools quietly torture their founders.
A frontend users trust
React or Laravel-native (Livewire/Inertia), chosen by what the product needs — fast, accessible, and credible enough to charge money through.
Launch infrastructure
CI/CD, staging, monitoring, backups — our DevOps work, sized for a product that's allowed to start small and grow.
We'll argue with your scope. That's a feature.
The most dangerous phrase in product development is "while we're at it". Every MVP we take on starts with a scoping session whose main output is the list of things you're not building yet — because a product in front of users in twelve weeks teaches you more than six extra features would. Founders occasionally find this annoying in week two and thank us in month six.
The technical choices we make — and why founders should care
Boring stack, deliberately. We build MVPs on Laravel with React or Livewire — mature, hireable, unexciting technology. That's a feature: your seed round shouldn't fund debugging a fashionable framework, and when you hire your first in-house developer, thousands of candidates already know this stack. Novelty budget belongs in your product, not your plumbing.
Monolith first, honestly. Investors occasionally ask founders about microservices; the honest answer for a pre-product-market-fit company is that a well-structured monolith ships faster, costs less to run, and refactors cleanly later if scale ever demands it. We architect with clear boundaries so that day is a migration, not a rewrite — but we don't build for a million users before you have a hundred.
Instrumented from day one. An MVP exists to answer questions — will they sign up, will they pay, where do they drop off — so analytics, error tracking and a founder-readable dashboard ship in week one, not as an afterthought. The same goes for the unglamorous trio investors' technical due diligence always checks: backups, access control, and a deploy pipeline that isn't one person's laptop.
Built to hand over. Everything lives in your accounts — repository, cloud, Stripe, domains — from the first commit. If we do our job well you'll eventually build an in-house team, and the codebase they inherit is documented, tested on its critical paths, and free of the "only the agency understands it" trap that quietly kills acquisitions.
Common questions
What does an MVP cost?
Focused MVPs typically run £25,000–£60,000 depending on the core loop's complexity; the discovery workshop (fixed price, credited if you proceed) turns your idea into a firm number and an honest scope.
Can you work alongside our technical co-founder?
Happily — as extra senior capacity, code reviewers, or owners of a defined slice. We're also comfortable handing the codebase to your future in-house team; it's built and documented for exactly that.
What happens after launch?
Your call: a support retainer, ongoing feature development, or a clean handover. Most funded products keep us on for the first iterations while hiring; some stay for years.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before you tell us anything sensitive. Your idea stays yours — as does every line of code, from the first commit in your repository.
How long does an MVP take?
A focused core loop typically reaches paying users in around twelve weeks; genuinely complex domains (marketplaces, heavy compliance, real-time collaboration) run longer and we say so at scoping, not at week eleven. The discovery workshop turns your idea into a dated plan before you commit.
Can you help with technical due diligence for investors?
Yes — our builds are structured to pass it: documented architecture decisions, tested critical paths, CI/CD, access controls and your ownership of every account. We're happy to join investor technical calls; founders tell us that conversation is noticeably easier when the honest answer to "who owns the code?" is "we do."
Tell us the idea — and who it's for
A paragraph is enough. A developer replies with genuine first thoughts on feasibility, scope and rough numbers, usually the same day.
