MVP development for startup founders - wherever you're based
Different capital markets, different regulatory pressure, different buyer expectations - but every founder needs the same thing first: a working product a real user can react to, without wasting 6 months or $50,000 finding out it was the wrong thing.
Why startups burn money before launch
Freelancers are cheap but risky
Most freelancers build what you describe - not what your users need. Without product thinking, your MVP becomes a project, not a product.
✓ We scope product strategy and development in one engagement.
Big agencies are expensive and slow
A large agency quotes $80,000–$150,000 and 6 months for an MVP. That's a full bet before you've validated anything.
✓ $6,000–$30,000, 7–14 day sprint, no bloated retainers.
Distant teams miss market reality
Building a product requires understanding your users, payments, and regional behaviour - not a generic template swapped across countries.
✓ Market-specific guidance for each of the 8 regions we serve.

What founders ask before signing
What does MVP development cost with Consult With Krishna?
MVP development typically costs between $6,000 and $30,000 depending on the market and complexity. Every engagement starts with a free scoping call, so you know the exact cost before signing anything - see the market-specific pricing below for your region.
How long does MVP development take?
A focused MVP takes 7 to 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. Poorly scoped projects drag to 6+ months - we keep scope tight from week one.
Which countries does Consult With Krishna serve?
We actively serve founders in the USA, India, UK, Germany, France, Israel, Spain, and Saudi Arabia, with market-specific guidance on funding, compliance, and local buyer expectations. Founders outside these markets are welcome too - get in touch for a scoping call.
How is this different from hiring a freelance developer?
A freelancer builds what you describe. We scope what you actually need first - through a Clarity Sprint - then design, build, test, and help you launch as a team, not a solo contractor.
Can you help if I've already started building but got stuck?
Yes - this is what the MVP Rescue engagement is for. We audit what exists, give an honest assessment of what to keep, fix, or rebuild, and get the project moving again.
Do you sign an NDA before discussing my idea?
Yes, always, before any product details are discussed - 100% NDA-protected from the first call, on every engagement in every market.
