MVP Development for Non-Technical Founders

You have the idea and the customers; we build the product — explained in plain language, with no surprises. From $25/hour.

You know the market, you have talked to customers, and you can sell. What you do not have is a technical co-founder. We build your MVP and explain every decision in plain language, so you stay in control of your own product.

What makes it different for non-technical founders

  • No jargon — we explain options in terms of cost, time and risk, not frameworks.
  • You own everything — code, domain, hosting and app store accounts are in your name from day one.
  • Visible progress — a live link you can click and show to customers every week.
  • Honest scope — we will tell you which features to leave out of version one, and why.

How it runs

We start with a short call about the problem and who pays for the solution. Then we write a one-page scope: the single journey the MVP must support. We build that, put it in front of your first users, and plan the next step from what they actually do.

Pricing

$25/hour, with an estimate per milestone so you always know what the next step costs before it starts.

Good fit if

You are a founder without a technical background, with a clear problem and early customers, looking for a development partner who treats your budget like it is their own.

Tell us about the idea and who it is for. We reply personally.
