Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does it take to build an MVP?
Project duration depends on product complexity and clarity of requirements. For most SaaS, mobile, and web applications, we deliver an investor-ready MVP in 8–12 weeks. This timeframe covers discovery workshops, prototyping, design, development, testing, and first live deployment.
Every engagement starts with a Discovery Sprint. During this sprint we finalise user personas, key user journeys, a technical architecture outline, and a detailed feature backlog. You receive a committed schedule—usually four to six two-week sprints—so you know exactly what will be shipped and when.
2. What is the average investment required?
We price MVP engagements as a fixed-scope, fixed-fee package once the backlog is locked. Most MVPs fall between £30k and £120k. The lower end typically covers single-platform B2C mobile apps or lightweight web portals, while the upper range supports complex integrations, multi-tenant SaaS products, or stringent compliance requirements.
Our pricing model is transparent—broken down by discovery, design, development, QA, and DevOps effort—so you can see exactly where your budget is allocated. Phased payments are tied to sprint milestones, ensuring you pay only for value delivered.
3. Can you work with our internal team?
Absolutely. About 60 percent of our engagements involve collaborating with a client’s in-house designers, architects, or developers. We integrate by:
- Sharing code repositories on GitHub or Bitbucket with branch-based permissions.
- Attending your stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives for seamless communication.
- Aligning on coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation formats.
- Providing knowledge-transfer sessions before handover so your team can iterate independently.
The result is a single, cohesive team working toward shared KPIs—not two siloed groups.
4. Do you help with investor presentations?
Yes—many clients engage us specifically to strengthen their funding pitch. We provide:
- Technical architecture diagrams that validate scalability and security.
- Live product demos or screen recordings to showcase core functionality.
- User analytics dashboards reflecting early traction and engagement.
- Cost-to-scale projections to demonstrate financial viability.
We can also join investor calls as your technical partner, answering due-diligence questions on stack, performance, and roadmap.
5. What happens after the MVP launch?
An MVP is the start of your product journey, not the end. Post-launch, we offer flexible support and growth packages covering:
- Maintenance & Bug Fixes: SLA-backed support to keep your product stable.
- Feature Expansion: Backlog grooming, design iterations, and new development sprints.
- Performance & Cost Optimisation: Regular audits of infrastructure spend, database usage, and code efficiency.
- Growth Experiments: A/B testing, funnel analysis, and onboarding improvements to push toward product-market fit.
Engage us on a retainer for continuous improvements or on a per-sprint basis, depending on how rapidly you plan to iterate.
