MVP Consulting & Development
What is an MVP and why do I need one?
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the smallest version of your product that lets real users react to it - not a demo, not a prototype, a working thing someone can actually use. It exists to test whether your idea is worth building further before you spend months and tens of thousands of dollars finding out the hard way.
How much does MVP development cost?
Typically $6,000–$30,000 depending on your market and scope, confirmed after a free scoping call - see our market-specific pricing for the USA, India, UK, Germany, France, Israel, Spain, and Saudi Arabia on the MVP Development hub.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
A focused MVP takes 7–14 days for the Clarity Sprint plus first build phase, with most full builds completing in 4–9 weeks depending on market and regulatory requirements. Unscoped projects drag to 6+ months - we keep scope tight from day one.
I'm not technical - can you still help me?
Yes - most of our clients are non-technical founders. We handle the scoping, design, and development; you focus on the business and the users.
What's the difference between MVP Consulting and MVP Development?
MVP Consulting is scoping and strategy - figuring out exactly what to build and why, before committing money to a build. MVP Development is the actual build itself. Many founders start with consulting, then move into development once the scope is locked.
What if my MVP build has already stalled with another developer?
That's what MVP Rescue is for - we audit what exists, give an honest assessment of what to keep, fix, or rebuild, and get the project moving again instead of starting over from scratch.
Do you build AI-powered MVPs?
Yes - AI MVP Consulting scopes and ships AI-powered products specifically, cutting through the hype to build the actual AI feature your product needs, not a generic wrapper around an API call.
Fractional Integrator
What is a Fractional Integrator?
A Fractional Integrator is ongoing, hands-on technical leadership without a full-time hire - someone who takes technical ownership of your product roadmap, makes architecture decisions, and stays involved after the initial MVP ships, on a part-time or as-needed basis.
How is Fractional Integrator different from a one-time MVP build?
An MVP build is a defined project with a start and end. Fractional Integrator is a continuing relationship - for founders who've shipped an MVP and need ongoing technical judgment as the product grows, without committing to a full-time CTO salary and equity.
Who typically needs a Fractional Integrator instead of a full-time hire?
Founders past MVP stage who need consistent technical decision-making - feature prioritization, architecture calls, code review - but don't yet have the budget or need for a full-time technical co-founder or CTO.
What does a Fractional Integrator engagement cost?
Starting from $2,000/month, scoped to your product's stage and how much ongoing involvement you need - confirmed after a scoping call, not a fixed package.
Can Fractional Integrator work alongside my existing team?
Yes - this is common for founders with junior developers or freelancers already in place who need a senior technical voice guiding decisions, not someone replacing the existing team.

Which countries do you serve?
We have dedicated market guidance for the USA, India, UK, Germany, France, Israel, Spain, and Saudi Arabia. Founders outside these markets are welcome too - get in touch for a scoping call.
Do I own the code once the project is done?
Yes - full ownership, zero lock-in. There's no dependency on us to keep your product running after handoff.
How do we get started?
