MVP that let a domain founder reach first users
$25K
Challenge
A domain expert had validated the problem in conversations but had no engineering team. Freelancer quotes varied wildly and agencies wanted open-ended retainers before anything was live.
Approach
We locked a thin MVP scope in a discovery workshop, built the core journeys with auth and cloud foundations, demoed weekly, and handed over repos plus a ranked post-MVP backlog.
Results
- Founders could onboard early users on a live product instead of a deck
- Investor and pilot conversations shifted from “when will it exist?” to feedback on real workflows
- Post-MVP features were sequenced from a clear backlog with transparent next-wave pricing
