OUR OFFER - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT - MVP FOR STARTUPS

An MVP that scales to a product - not to a refactor in a year's time

Q: How long does an MVP take from idea to launch?

Lean MVP: 5-10 weeks in total (preliminary analysis 1-2 weeks + implementation 4-8 weeks). MVP standard: 8-14 weeks in total (preliminary analysis 1-2 weeks + implementation 7-12 weeks). Validation 4-12 weeks in addition (after launch, on a continuous basis). Version 2.0 decision based on data, not assumptions. Contextually: a typical startup with a presentation day at a gas pedal in 12 weeks → a Lean MVP scheduled by the deadline.

Q: What's next after MVP - who is building version 2.0?

After validation, three options: Long-term cooperation with DV - we continue as an external implementation partner, £220/h, in sprint mode Own team - We implement your technical director and team in ~1 week, we hand over the project Other supplier - You have a repository, architectural and technical documentation. Any senior developer will take over the project in 1-2 weeks. The differentiator: three options after stabilization - your decision, not ours.

MVP, which is not"quickly made code to be discarded after validation".. If the hypothesis finds a product-market fit, scaling means adding features, not rewriting the entire application from scratch.

Our clients are post-seed pre-Series A startups with a validated business case, funding secured for 12-18 months, a budget of £30-100k for the MVP and a clear question to the market that the MVP is supposed to answer.

Stack same as in applications for scaling companies (Next.js + Payload CMS + PostgreSQL) - zero rewrite after finding PMF, smooth transition to v2.0 with the same foundation.

WHEN IT'S WORTH IT - 4 SCENARIOS

When an MVP makes sense - and when it's better to wait

Signal 1

Validation of the business hypothesis

Specific symptoms:

You have a business hypothesis that cannot be verified without a working product ("will customers pay for X if I do it this way".)
Pre-orders / waitlist / sales calls come to"show me the product".
Customer interviews confirm problem but do not confirm willingness-to-pay

MVP responds: Lean MVP 30-50k with core user journey (1 persona, 1 use case, payment flow if relevant), 6-8 wks to launch, 3-6 months validation.

Signal 2

Pre-seed / seed funding secured

Specific symptoms:

Runway 12-18 months
Budget £30-100k for MVP + budget for marketing/sales validation
Decision-makers: founder(s), usually 2-3 people
Post-MVP plan: Series A pitch or bootstrap profitable

MVP responds: MVP standard 50-100k with foundation under scale, integrations (Stripe, analytics, auth), production observability from day 1.

Signal 3

B2B sales locks in on "working product demo"

Specific symptoms:

Pipeline in sales calls/discovery comes to"I want to see a working product".
Pilot customers (3-5 companies) willing to pay for early access
Letter of intent / pre-orders / pilot agreements signed
Sales cycle B2B (3-9 months) requires demo immediately

MVP responds: Standard MVP 50-100k with pilot-ready features (multi-tenant from day 1, billing, audit trail, basic admin panel).

Signal 4

Accelerator demo day / equity round

Specific symptoms:

Gas pedal (YC, Antler, MIT Enterprise Forum, Startup Hub Poland) requires demo for demo day in 2-4 months.
Equity round (seed → Series A) requires MVP with traction
Investors are asking for"product walkthrough" not just a pitch deck

MVP responds: Lean or Standard MVP timed under demo day deadline. Heritage angle: architectural documentation (ADR) as a due diligence asset.

"If you don't recognize any of the 4 signals - perhaps it's too early for MVP. Gas pedal (Startup Hub Poland, Antler, YC) will help stage idea → validated hypothesis. MVP start after validation."

3 TYPES OF MVP - CHOOSE YOUR CONTEXT

What specifically are we building as an MVP

Type 1 - B2B SaaS MVP.

B2B SaaS - first 3-10 paying customers

Multi-tenant from day 1 (each client = separate workspace, data separation). Subscription billing (Stripe + webhook). Auth with org/team support. Basic admin panel. 1 core feature plus user invitations.

Pricing: Lean MVP 30-50k (1 persona, 1 use case) / Standard MVP 50-100k (multi-feature, pilot-ready).Timing: 6-10 wks.Example use cases: CRM for niche industry, workflow management for vertical industry, analytics dashboard.

Type 2 - Marketplace MVP

Marketplace - supply, demand, first transactions

Two sides of the market (supply + demand) require separate journey, balancing number of participants, trust-building features (reviews, verified profiles). Payment escrow optional. Search/filter for matching.

Pricing: MVP standard 50-100k (rarely Lean - marketplace requires both sides working).Timing: 8-12 wks.Example use cases: B2B procurement, freelance niche platform, equipment rental.

Type 3 Internal tool / customer dashboard MVP

Marketplace - supply, demand, first transactions

Custom dashboard for 1 customer (usually enterprise pre-RFP), proof-of-concept for larger contract. Integrations with customer's existing stack, custom workflow, reporting.

Pricing: Lean MVP 30-50k (proof-of-concept) / Standard MVP 50-100k (production-ready for customer).Timing: 6-10 wks.Example use cases: Dashboard for supply chain partner, reporting tool for enterprise vendor, custom integration tool.

Each of the 3 types has a different scope, different validation rhythm, different path to Series A. Discovery (Stage 1) determines the type of MVP, scope, pricing tier.

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE - 4 SPECIFICS

Why our MVPs don't require rewrite after validation

Concrete 1

Stack production-ready from day 1

Next.js + Payload CMS + PostgreSQL - same stack as we use in applications for scaling companies (60-300k+ projects). MVP built on this foundation scales to 10x users without rewrite.

Counter-positioning: agencies"fast MVP for 10k". use Bubble/Webflow/no-code which require rewrite as soon as you hit PMF. Time lost: 3-6 months + 80-150k for rewrite.

Concrete 2

ADR + documentation from day 1

Architecture Decision Records (ADR) per strategic decision - future CTO / dev team / VC due diligence sees.why Technology A not B. README + CONTRIBUTING + deployment runbook + schema docs.

Concrete benefit: pre-Series A due diligence takes 1 week instead of 4-6 weeks, because the documentation is there. Investors are looking at"how they think about architecture", no"what they built".

Concrete 3

Your repo, your property, zero vendor lock-in

GitHub Yours. MIT/proprietary license as you wish. Any competent dev will take over the project in ~1-2 wks onboarding.

Counter-positioning: SaaS-based MVP agencies keep code in-house + monthly hosting fees. After a year, you're trapped.

Concrete 4

Observability and monitoring as default

Sentry error tracking + uptime monitoring + PostHog session replays + basic APM - all for the price of an MVP. You know what's going on in production from Day 1.

Counter-positioning: most MVP-focused agencies."observability will be added in v2.0". - That is, debug first pilot customers after support ticket data. Sentry + PostHog cost ~$50/month and save weeks of debugging.

HOW WE BUILD - 3 PHASES OF MVP3 steps

How we build an MVP - from idea to market validation

Phase 1 - 1-2 wks
Discovery + Lean architecture
What you get:
Data model (database diagram)
Interface specification (API)
User scenarios (1-3 audience groups, key tasks)
Architectural decision document - why this technology and not another
Three variants of pricing (Lean / Standard / extended scope)
Implementation schedule with milestones
What's happening:
Consultation 60-90 min + 1-2 follow-up calls. The documentation is yours regardless of further cooperation - you can go with it to another developer.
Stage 2 - 4-12 weeks (Lean 4-8 weeks, Standard 7-12 weeks).
MVP implementation
What you get:
A working product in production (Vercel or OVH)
Support for multiple customers on a single instance (if B2B SaaS)
Payments (Stripe - subscriptions, one-offs, invoices)
Login (magic link + Google, GitHub)
Administration panel
Monitoring and observability from day one (bug tracking, user behavior analytics, availability control) - not after the first failure
Automatic tests of key paths (Standard variant)
Your repository (GitHub belongs to you), full technical documentation, implementation instructions
What's happening:
Bi-weekly sprints. Progress presentation at the end of each sprint. Test environment available from the first sprint.
Stage 3 - Time: 4-12 weeks after implementation
Validation and iteration (optional)
What you get:
User behavior data (conversion funnels, retention)
Sales data (revenue, conversion, churn)
Interviews with first customers (3-10 pilot companies)
Decision on version 2.0 - three paths (scale / pivot / close)
What's happening: We make decisions based on data, not assumptions. Three paths after MVP described in the Price List and FAQ.

Total time from idea to implementation: 5-14 weeks (Stage 1 + Stage 2). Validation continues in parallel.

Same technologies as in scaling 60-300k+ enterprise applications (see Block 3 for details). Zero code rewrite from scratch after finding product-market fit - smooth transition to version 2.0 on the same foundation.

FAQ - 6 QUESTIONS ABOUT MVP

Questions we get before the MVP begins

01
What is the difference between a Lean MVP and a Standard MVP?

Lean MVP (£30-50k) = 1 audience, 1 application, minimal scope to verify hypothesis. Before finding market fit. 6-8 weeks. Goal: will someone pay for X.

MVP standard (£50-100k) = support for multiple clients on a single instance, 2-3 audience groups, 3-5 functions, pilot client readiness. Foundation for scaling after validation. 8-14 weeks. Target: first 3-10 paying customers + foundation for version 2.0.

02
What do we do if the MVP doesn't find a market fit?

Fair decision after Stage 3 validation (4-12 weeks after launch). Three options:

Change of function - data suggest that a match exists, but for a different application. Iteration of features, same technologies. Cost: 30-60% MVP standard.
Product change - Different market, audience, value proposition. Partial rewrite (interface + business logic, base stays). Cost: 50-70% of the new MVP.
Closing - Data clear, no match, financial reserve low. Fair recommendation: close MVP, save money, return to hypothesis stage. Cost: £0 (DV does not sell further"maybe something will be found".).

03
How long does an MVP take from idea to launch?

Lean MVP: 5-10 weeks in total (preliminary analysis 1-2 weeks + implementation 4-8 weeks).MVP standard: 8-14 weeks in total (preliminary analysis 1-2 weeks + implementation 7-12 weeks).

Validation 4-12 weeks in addition (after launch, on a continuous basis). Version 2.0 decision based on data, not assumptions.

Contextually: a typical startup with a presentation day at a gas pedal in 12 weeks → a Lean MVP scheduled by the deadline.

04
Who owns the code and what happens if we change agencies?

Your repository (GitHub yours, not ours). MIT or proprietary license - whatever you want. Zero vendor dependency. Architectural and technical documentation allows any competent developer to take over the project in ~1-2 weeks of implementation.

Highlight: code in your repository from day one, not"after finalization".

05
What's next after MVP - who is building version 2.0?

After validation, three options:

Long-term cooperation with DV - we continue as an external implementation partner, £220/h, in sprint mode
Own team - We implement your technical director and team in ~1 week, we hand over the project
Other supplier - You have a repository, architectural and technical documentation. Any senior developer will take over the project in 1-2 weeks.

The differentiator: three options after stabilization - your decision, not ours.

06
What technologies do you use and why not codeless tools (Bubble, FlutterFlow)?

Technologies: Next.js + Payload CMS + PostgreSQL + Stripe + Sentry + PostHog. Proven, with 5+ years of production experience.

Why not tools without code:

Supplier dependence - Bubble/Webflow keep code in-house, monthly fees, no migration
Rewriting after validation - Typical MVP path in the tool without code → dedicated code once a match is found (cost: £80-150k + 3-6 months of time)
Performance limitations - Tools without code scale to ~10k users, then problems
Regulatory compliance - RODO/HIPAA requires control over infrastructure and data

The principle: we build an MVP that grows into a product, not a"quickly made code to be thrown away"..
