MVP app development for startups
You have an idea and need a first version in real users' hands — without paying for features nobody uses yet. I help you cut the scope to the one journey that proves the idea, then build it properly with React Native and a simple backend, so the MVP becomes version two instead of being thrown away.
What's included
- Scoping session: the one user journey the first version must nail
- React Native app for Android and iOS
- Backend with Node.js + MongoDB or Firebase
- Login, payments or subscriptions, notifications — only what the MVP needs
- Store release and analytics to learn from the first users
- Clean handover: documented code your next developer can pick up
Small scope, real product
Collective Ledger, which I designed and built end to end, shows the approach: one core journey — a member pays an installment and everyone can see it on the shared ledger — with late fees, investments and admin votes built around it. Starting from one journey and building outward is how an MVP stays affordable and still becomes the real product.
What you get at the end
An app in the stores (or in testers' hands), a backend you own, analytics that show what users actually do, and a short list of what to build next based on that data.
Common questions
How long does an MVP app take?
Most focused MVPs take between four and ten weeks, depending on the features and whether a backend already exists. A scoping call gives you a realistic estimate before any commitment.
Will I own the code and the app?
Yes. The code, the store accounts and the backend are yours from day one.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes. I explain decisions in plain language and keep a working build in your hands every week, so you always know where the product stands.
