SaaS MVP in 6 Weeks
Investor demo deadline met without a six-month agency quote.
Shipped a working MVP with auth, Stripe billing, and core dashboard. First paying customers within 2 months of launch.
6 weeks to launch
The problem
Founder had wireframes and investor meetings in 8 weeks. Previous agency quoted 6 months.
Scope creep from “just one more feature” was about to burn the runway. The founder needed one workflow that proved the product, not a platform. Agencies pitched enterprise architecture for an MVP that only needed auth, billing, and a dashboard buyers could click.
What we delivered
We cut to one primary user journey, shipped with proven auth and Stripe billing, and demoed weekly so investors and early users saw real progress — not slideware.
How we approached it
- ✓Locked a written MVP scope with one persona and one core workflow
- ✓Used managed auth and Stripe to avoid reinventing billing
- ✓Weekly demos with build-in-public style transparency for investors
- ✓Deferred nice-to-haves into a post-launch backlog with clear ownership
Outcomes
- ✓Working MVP in 6 weeks
- ✓First paying customers within 2 months of launch
- ✓Founder kept repo ownership and deployment access
- ✓Clear backlog for v1.1 instead of a rewrite

Questions buyers ask about this project
Is a 6-week SaaS MVP realistic?
Yes when scope is one workflow, one role, and off-the-shelf auth/billing. It is not realistic if you insist on real-time collaboration, five roles, and custom payments in v1.
Who owns the code?
You do. We deliver to your repo and cloud accounts. No hostage source code.
