Get Started

Building MVPs That Raise Capital & Win Users

At Cabot, we specialize in transforming forward-thinking ideas into market-ready Minimum Viable Products for Cleveland’s vibrant startup and corporate innovation communities. Over the past decade, our cross-functional teams have helped founders secure seed funding, guided enterprises in spinning off new digital products, and partnered with corporate accelerators to test bold concepts without disrupting core operations.

We start by validating your assumptions through design sprints, user interviews, and rapid prototyping. Once the core value proposition is crystal clear, our engineers leverage scalable technologies—React, Node, Flutter, AWS, and more—to build a lean yet robust MVP in as little as 90 days. Throughout development we measure real-world usage, iterate based on data, and prioritize only those features that move the needle. The result is an investor-ready product that delights early adopters and sets a strong foundation for full-scale development.

Whether you’re a downtown Cleveland startup targeting Series A or an established manufacturer exploring Industry 4.0 solutions, Cabot delivers the speed, technical excellence, and strategic insight you need to turn vision into validated reality.

FAQ

Below are some of the most common questions we receive from Cleveland founders and innovation leaders.

  1. What is the typical timeline for an MVP?
    Our standard engagement delivers a functional MVP within 8–12 weeks. The first week is dedicated to discovery workshops where we define the problem statement, user personas, and success metrics. Weeks 2–3 focus on rapid prototyping and user validation. Engineering kicks off in Week 4, running two-week sprints that each culminate in a live demo and stakeholder review. By Week 10 we begin hardening, performance tuning, and UAT. Finally, Week 12 is dedicated to production deployment and post-launch monitoring. Projects with complex third-party integrations or advanced AI components may extend to 14–16 weeks, but the phased milestones remain the same, giving you full visibility and control.
  2. How much will my MVP cost?
    Budget depends on scope, complexity, and team composition, but most Cleveland clients invest between $40k and $120k. After the discovery phase, we provide a fixed-price Statement of Work that breaks costs down into design, development, QA, DevOps, and project management. You’ll see exactly how many hours, roles, and sprints are allocated to each line item. This transparency lets you adjust feature priorities to meet budget constraints without sacrificing critical functionality. We also offer milestone-based billing and flexible payment terms tied to verifiable deliverables.
  3. Can you work with my existing in-house team?
    Absolutely. Roughly 60% of our projects involve collaboration with a client’s internal engineers, product managers, or designers. We integrate seamlessly by establishing shared Slack channels, unified Jira boards, and version-controlled repositories. Your team retains ownership of strategic decisions while our specialists fill skills gaps—whether that’s React Native for mobile, Kubernetes for DevOps, or automated testing frameworks. We also conduct joint retrospectives and knowledge-transfer sessions to ensure your internal staff can independently maintain and evolve the MVP after launch.
  4. Do you offer post-launch support?
    Yes. We provide multiple support options ranging from ad-hoc ticket packs to 24/7 SLA-based maintenance. Our standard post-launch package includes 30 days of hypercare with real-time monitoring, bug fixes, and performance optimization. After that, you can choose monthly iteration sprints for new features, or a managed services plan that covers server upkeep, security updates, and scalability audits. All support tiers include access to our analytics dashboards so you can see how user behavior evolves and make data-driven roadmap decisions.
  5. Will I own the code and IP?
    100%. Upon final payment or as specified in the contract, all source code, design assets, documentation, and related intellectual property are transferred to you. We work in your private Git repository from day one, so you always have immediate access to the latest codebase. Any third-party libraries are used under appropriate licenses, and we provide a Software Bill of Materials to make compliance and future audits straightforward.
