AI-Native MVP Build
From idea to a live, production-ready product in 4–8 weeks, with AI built into the architecture, not bolted on at the end.
Who this is for
You're a founder who has raised a pre-seed, seed, or Series A round. You have a thesis, an early customer signal, and a runway clock. You don't have time for a six-month build, and you don't want to hire and manage four full-stack engineers right now.
You need a partner who can take your product from a Notion doc to a real, live, working v1, and ship it in weeks, not quarters.
What you get
A production-ready, AI-native v1 of your product. That means:
- A working product, not a prototype. Real auth, real database, real integrations, real users can sign up and use it the day we hand it over.
- AI-native by design. Embeddings, retrieval, agent flows, LLM orchestration, these are architectural decisions made in week 1, not features bolted on later.
- Code you can actually iterate on. Clean, typed, documented, with the tests that matter. Your future engineering hires can pick it up without rewriting it.
- Transparent weekly sprints. Friday demos. Monday standups. A live Linear board you can watch.
- Optional handover to our Build & Run service. We can keep operating it under SLA while you hire your in-house team.
How it works, the 6-week blueprint
Scope & Architecture
We lock the scope of your v1 in a structured working session. You leave with a written spec, an architecture diagram, and a sprint plan. No discovery-phase invoices.
Build Sprints
Weekly sprints, each ending with a working demo. You see progress every Friday. No black box, no end-of-project surprises.
Launch & Handover
Production deployment, monitoring set up, documentation handed over. If you want us to keep operating it under SLA, we slide directly into our Build & Run service.
What it costs
We scope every build to a fixed fee in the first call. MVP builds typically fall into one of three tiers:
Single-surface product. 1–2 integrations. Light AI layer (LLM API calls, prompt orchestration). Best for proving a core hypothesis fast.
Multi-surface product. 3–5 integrations. RAG or agent layer. Production observability. Best for shipping a v1 that can hold real customers.
Multiple AI workflows. Custom retrieval. Enterprise integrations. Compliance-ready logging. Best when AI is the core product, not a feature.
No hourly billing. No discovery-phase invoices. The scope and the price are locked in the first working session.
Industries we build in
If you're not in one of these, talk to us anyway, these are where we have proof, not where we're limited.
What's not a fit
We're honest about this. We're not the right team if:
- You need a generic marketing website (use Webflow, not us)
- Your scope genuinely needs more than 8 weeks (use our Build & Run service instead)
- You want hourly billing with no scope, we don't work that way
Capacity note: We work with 4–6 clients at a time. If our calendar is full, we'll tell you in the first call and refer you to a partner we trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an AI-native MVP different from a regular MVP?
An AI-native MVP treats AI as an architectural foundation rather than a bolt-on feature. From week 1 we make decisions about retrieval architecture, agent orchestration, model selection, and prompt routing, the same way other teams make decisions about databases or auth. A bolted-on MVP wraps a ChatGPT call around an existing product. An AI-native build assumes the model is the product.
Can you really ship a production-ready MVP in 6 weeks?
Yes, when scope is locked in week 1 and we run weekly sprints with full visibility. The reason most agencies quote 4–6 months for the same work is staffing economics, not technical reality. Our 6-week timeline assumes a tightly scoped v1, usually one core workflow done excellently rather than ten workflows done partially.
What happens after the MVP launches?
Three options. (1) You take the codebase and run it with your in-house team. (2) We slide into our Build & Run service and operate it under SLA while you hire. (3) We do a 30/60/90-day post-launch warranty at no extra cost. You choose at handover.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes, this is most of our work. We handle all the architecture and engineering decisions. Your job is to be clear about the business outcome you want and available for weekly sprint reviews.
