FAQ

Below are detailed answers to the questions we hear most from Montreal founders.

  1. How long does it take to build an MVP?

    For the majority of projects, we deliver a market-ready MVP in 12–16 weeks. The timeline breaks down as follows: 1–2 weeks for product discovery and technical scoping, 2–3 weeks for UX/UI design and rapid prototyping, 6–8 weeks for core feature development across successive sprints, 2 weeks for rigorous QA and security hardening, and 1 week for user acceptance testing and launch preparation. Highly regulated or AI-heavy products may require an extended discovery phase, which we discuss upfront so you have a clear, fixed schedule from day one.

  2. What technologies do you recommend for a scalable MVP?

    We make technology recommendations based on your product vision, growth projections, and in-house capabilities. A typical stack looks like this: React or Next.js for fast, SEO-friendly front-ends; Node.js, .NET Core, or Django for robust, API-driven back-ends; PostgreSQL or MongoDB for flexible data storage; and AWS, GCP, or Azure for elastic cloud infrastructure with built-in security and compliance tooling. All services are containerized with Docker and orchestrated via Kubernetes or serverless functions to keep costs predictable while allowing you to scale seamlessly when user numbers spike.

  3. Can you work with my in-house team?

    Absolutely. Roughly 60% of our engagements involve close collaboration with an existing engineering or product team. We assign a dedicated delivery manager who aligns our Scrum ceremonies with your internal cadence, integrates our CI/CD pipelines with your repositories, and ensures transparent communication through shared Slack channels and weekly demo calls. This hybrid model lets your team focus on domain knowledge and core IP while we accelerate delivery of auxiliary features, automation, and DevOps—without stepping on anyone’s toes.

  4. Do you help with fundraising materials?

    Yes. Beyond writing clean code, we understand the narrative investors need to hear. Our product strategists can prepare a technical roadmap, architecture diagram, and cost-of-scaling analysis that slots neatly into your pitch deck. We also create live product demos, clickable prototypes, and data room documentation—such as code quality reports and SOC-2–ready security checklists—to satisfy even the most technical due-diligence processes. Several clients have credited these assets with accelerating their seed or Series A rounds.

  5. What happens after the MVP launch?

    Post-launch, you can select from three engagement options: (1) a maintenance retainer for bug fixes, minor enhancements, and 24/7 infrastructure monitoring; (2) a growth-engineering squad that continues feature development, A/B testing, and performance optimization to drive user adoption; or (3) a transition package where we gradually hand off the codebase, documentation, and DevOps pipelines to your newly hired internal team, complete with paired programming sessions and knowledge-transfer workshops. Whichever path you choose, our goal is to protect your runway, support rapid iteration, and position you for long-term scale.
