AIDE · Rapid MVP

Idea to market in 6-10 weeks.

Go from concept to a market-ready product without burning $200K. Our Rapid MVP process uses AI-directed engineering to validate your idea with real users: fast, modular, and production-grade from day one.

Live Discovery & design Core build Iterate & extend Polish & launch Fixed modules fill each phase. Every pink line is a gate with working software behind it: stop, adjust, or advance.
The problem

Traditional MVPs are broken

Most founders either burn through $200K+ before learning anything, or ship a throwaway prototype that has to be rebuilt from scratch. Neither path makes sense.

$150K-$300K to learn if your idea works

Traditional agencies quote 6 months and six figures before you have a single user.

Throwaway prototypes

Cheap MVPs use shortcuts that collapse under real usage. You end up rebuilding everything anyway.

9-12 month timelines

By the time you ship, the market has moved. Speed isn't a luxury, it's a requirement.

No demo until the end

Waterfall agencies disappear for months, then show you something that doesn't match your vision.

What you get

Not a prototype. A product.

Every Rapid MVP ships with production-grade infrastructure. No throwaway code. No "we'll fix it later." You launch with the same stack you'll scale on.

01

Branded UI/UX

Custom-designed interfaces that look and feel like your brand. Responsive, accessible, polished: not a Bootstrap template with your logo slapped on.

02

Full API layer

RESTful or GraphQL APIs that connect your front-end to your data. Documented, versioned, ready for third-party integrations from day one.

03

Database architecture

Properly normalized, encrypted data layer designed to scale. Not a spreadsheet pretending to be a database.

04

Auth & security

User authentication, role-based access, password management, encrypted storage: all included in our free scaffolding. No extra cost.

05

AI integration

Claude integration, intelligent workflows, AI-powered features built into your product architecture, not bolted on as an afterthought.

06

Deployment pipeline

CI/CD pipeline, staging and production environments, monitoring and logging. You ship like a real company from week one.

The process

6-10 weeks. Four phases.

Each module follows the same proven loop: Prepare → Build → Refine → Launch. You see a working demo every 10 hours. You give feedback. We adjust. Nothing ships without your sign-off.

01

Discovery & design

Product requirements, user flows, architecture decisions, visual design system.

Weeks 1-2
02

Core build

Scaffolding deployed, core modules built, first working demos delivered.

Weeks 3-4
03

Iterate & extend

Feature modules, feedback loops, refinements, edge cases, testing.

Weeks 5-8
04

Polish & launch

Performance tuning, QA, deployment, monitoring, handoff documentation.

Weeks 9-10
How it's bought

Modular. Gated. No surprises.

Every Rapid MVP is built in fixed 40-hour modules, typically three to five. Module count is set during discovery, and you get a fixed quote and timeline before any build work begins. You control scope and spend at every step.

  • Free scaffolding (auth, encryption, email/SMS, admin)
  • Working demos every 10 hours
  • Production-grade code from day one
  • AI integration included
  • Full source code ownership
  • Deployment & CI/CD pipeline
  • Ongoing support available post-launch
Right fit

Who this is for

For founders

Founders & startups

You have an idea and need to validate it with real users before raising. You want production-grade, not a throwaway prototype.

For enterprise

Innovation teams

You need to prove out an internal tool or new product line without a 12-month IT procurement cycle.

For growth

Growth-stage companies

You want to test a new vertical, feature, or market quickly, without diverting your core engineering team.

Stop guessing

Start shipping.

Tell us about your concept. We'll tell you whether a Rapid MVP fits, how many modules it'll take, and what it'll cost, before you commit a dollar.

After launch, MVP builds can enter the Conveyor Belt for continuous delivery with entry and exit audits on every release.
