Learn Our Process

Quickly Moving from Concept to Market is Challenging

Being able to rapidly prototype and validate your digital applications makes all the difference between success and failure. Yet, startups and SMBs have an uphill battle.

Limited Resources

Traditional development teams are expensive and time-consuming to build, making rapid iteration nearly impossible.

Market Uncertainty

Without quick validation, you risk building something nobody wants, wasting precious time and capital.

Technical Complexity

Modern software development requires expertise across multiple domains, creating barriers to entry for innovators.

The Startup Reality Check

90%of startups fail overall (Embroker, 2025)

42%fail due to lack of market need (CB Insights)

29%run out of cash before validation (CB Insights)

18%of first-time founders succeed (Revli, 2024)

Don't become a statistic. Validate fast, iterate smart.

011-2 days

Discovery & Planning

You're startup idea has been living in your head for awhile now, but have you considered all the factors you need to test to determine success? With our guidance, we help you understand all the pain-points, pitfalls, and problems you might not have considered so we can create a comprehensive validation plan.

025-8 days

Market Validation & User Testing

Your startup sounds great...but how will your target market respond? Our modern market validation techniques include evaluating customer behavior, existing workarounds, and Time-To-Value to provide the customer feedback you need for product-market fit.

033-7 days

AI-Powered Rapid Prototyping

Working collaboratively, we develop a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD) using rapid prototyping methodologies to guide our AI-powered development process. With PRD in hand, we leverage AI development tools to create multiple functional MVP prototypes, testing various user interface designs and core feature implementations for your SaaS or digital product.

043-7 days

Iterative MVP Development

With market validation insights, we refine and enhance your minimum VALUABLE product through rapid iteration cycles, incorporating user feedback and market research to optimize for startup success and scalability.

Frequently AskedQuestions

Everything you need to know about our rapid prototyping process, pricing, and how we can help accelerate your project.

Our rapid prototyping services range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on complexity and features. This is 89% more affordable than traditional development which typically costs $50K-150K. We also offer flexible equity partnerships to reduce upfront costs for startups with limited cash flow.

A prototype is a preliminary model to test concepts and user interfaces, while an MVP (Minimum VALUABLE Product) is a functional product with core features ready for real users. Our rapid prototyping process creates both - starting with interactive prototypes and evolving into a market-ready MVP within 2-4 weeks.

We use modern market validation techniques including user testing, customer interviews, landing page validation, competitor analysis, and market sizing. Our process validates your product concept by week 3, helping you avoid the 42% of startups that fail due to lack of market need (CB Insights).

Yes! Our AI-powered rapid prototyping process can deliver a functional SaaS MVP in 2-4 weeks. This includes user authentication, core features, database integration, responsive design, and deployment. We focus on essential functionality first, allowing you to validate your concept and iterate based on real user feedback.

Our market validation includes competitor analysis, target audience research, user testing sessions, landing page validation, customer interview facilitation, market sizing analysis, and product-market fit assessment. We provide actionable insights to help you make data-driven decisions about your startup's direction.

AI development tools help us generate code faster, automate testing, optimize performance, and implement best practices automatically. This allows our small team of 1-2 experts to work 85% faster than traditional 5-12 person teams, while maintaining high quality and reducing development costs significantly.

After successful validation, we help you scale your product based on user feedback and market data. Options include continued development through our retainer program, equity partnership for ongoing support, feature expansion, user acquisition strategies, and preparation for fundraising or further investment.

Absolutely! We specialize in helping non-technical founders bring their ideas to life. We provide clear communication, detailed documentation, and education throughout the process. Our collaborative approach ensures you understand every decision and can confidently lead your startup's technical direction.

Quality comes from our experienced team (decades of experience), proven frameworks, automated testing, AI-assisted code review, and comprehensive security audits. Our rapid delivery comes from efficiency and modern tools, not cutting corners. Every MVP includes thorough testing and follows industry best practices.

Startups using rapid prototyping have significantly higher success rates because they validate market fit early and iterate quickly. While 90% of startups fail overall, those who validate their concept within the first few weeks have much better odds of joining the 10% that succeed. Our process helps you fail fast and cheap, or succeed faster.

Our rapid prototyping process allows us to deliver a functional MVP in less than 4 weeks for most projects. This is significantly faster than traditional development, which often takes 3-6 months for similar functionality.

We leverage modern, proven technologies including React/Next.js for frontend, Node.js/Python for backend, Supabase for database storage, and cloud platforms like GCP, AWS or Vercel for deployment. Our AI-assisted workflow allows us to rapidly implement best practices and optimize for performance from day one.

Our equity partnership allows you to trade a percentage of company ownership for reduced upfront costs. For example, instead of paying completely with cash up front, you might pay $9,000 cash plus 7.5% equity. We are flexible with our compensation options so we encourage you to contact us for a proposal that best fits your current capabilities. In any case, we become invested in your success and provide ongoing support as your technology partner.
