Idea to MVP
You’ve got the next big idea
Maybe you’ve even got some Figma files and a pitch deck.
But you have no idea how to build it. Or how to explain it to the people who do know how to build it.
That’s where I come in.
With over 20 years’ experience in all aspects of technology, my superpower is translating business ideas into Engineering – and Engineering into English.
I know how frustrating it is when you show your prototype to a developer and they tell you “yeah, no problem, I can build that” … and then they come back 3 months later with something that looks nothing like what you imagined, and barely works. Or when you ask for a status update all you get is “I’m working on it.”
I’ll let you in on a secret: it’s frustrating for the developer too.
They’re trying to build your app without enough information – but even if they do ask the right questions, chances are you don’t know the answers (if you did, you probably wouldn’t be reading this!).
You shouldn’t have to be a tech expert just to hire someone to build your product – or to use the no-code options on the market. You have more than enough to do as it is.
The Old Way
You have an idea. You design it, validate it, and create a prototype. Then you hire a developer to build it. They tell you it will take 3 months and $15,000.
6 months and $30,000 later, all you have to show for it is an MVP that works – sort of. Except when it doesn’t. And the developer is telling you it will be ready to show investors “soon.”
Except that you’re out of funding and that great idea is dead on arrival.
The Smart Way
You have an idea. You design it, validate it, and create a prototype. You put it through the Idea to MVP process.
Then you hire a developer (at 1/3 of the cost) who tells you they can have a working MVP in 6 weeks.
6 weeks later, you have a solid, working MVP ready to launch to beta customers and show to investors.

Save Time, Save Money
An MVP development team includes 4 key roles:
-
Lead Developer/Architect$125/hour
-
DevOps Engineer$80/hour
-
Project Manager$75/hour
-
Junior Developer$30/hour
- Lead Developer/Architect – $125/hour
Designs the application, deciding how to implement your vision. Breaks down high-level features into step-by-step tasks a Jr. Developer can implement. - DevOps Engineer – $80/hour
Designs, implements, and maintains the technical infrastructure to support the product. - Project Manager – $75/hour
Ensures that the Jr. Developer has everything they need to develop the application, and keeps them on track. - Jr. Developer – $30/hour
Actually writes most of the code for the application.
That’s a lot of people on the payroll before you even have a working MVP. A typical 12-week development project could cost as much as $130,000.
Full MVP Build Package
We expand your ideas into detailed technical documents and roadmaps that a Jr. Developer understands – allowing you to hire a single low-cost developer rather than an entire team.
Your MVP Roadmap Package includes:
- Tech Stack and Application Architecture
- Product Roadmap
- Development Plan
All the detailsWhat's Included:
Application Architecture
and Tech Stack
You have a really clear idea of what you want to create. Now it’s time to assemble the right tools to build it…but that just leads to a mass of questions:
- What servers do you need?
- What language should it be written in?
- Which framework is best for your project?
- What about DevOps? (What even is DevOps?)
We’ve got you. Your roadmap starts with a detailed architectural document that lays out all those tech details and answers all the questions your developer is going to ask.
Executive Roadmap
All those technical details are great…but let’s be honest for a moment. What you really want to know is:
When will it be ready?
Your roadmap breaks down every feature into high-level milestones so you’ll know what to expect every step of the way.
Development Plan
This is the part of the package your developer will thank you for. The Development Plan is the most detailed part of your Roadmap package. This is where we’ll build on the decisions made during the Architecture phase to break down the high-level milestones from the Roadmap into step-by-step tasks a developer can actually complete.

- Architecture and Tech Stack – a visual diagram of your application and detailed checklist of every piece of technology you’ll need.
- Executive Roadmap – include this in your pitch deck to show investors that you’ve got what it takes to deliver on your ideas.
- Development Plan – so detailed that a Jr. Developer can build even complex applications.
Got Questions?
”How
The Idea-> MVP package is $2500.
Do I really need all this?
Yeah…you really do. Reality is, you’re going to have to figure all this stuff out eventually. You can do it yourself, pay a lead developer $$$$ to do it, or you can work with us.
How do you keep the price down?
Magic 🙂
Ok, seriously – we can do all this for so little because we’ve done it a thousand times and have the system of designing and architecting applications down to an efficient, repeatable process.
Can we talk first?
Of course! Shoot me an email. Or you can book a no-committment, no pressure coffee chat any time from the “Contact Us” link at the top of this page.
