Structured Programs

Beyond a Dev Agency — A Program Partner

A structured, phased program for founders who need to validate before they build.

For Founders

Founder Prototype Program — From Idea to Working Prototype, Fast

A focused program for founders who need to turn a concept into a real, testable product — without committing to a full build before you've validated the idea.

About This Program

Great products aren't built — they're discovered through rapid experimentation. The Founder Prototype Program is designed for early-stage founders who need a working prototype in front of real users as quickly as possible. We scope tightly, move fast, and give you something tangible to test, pitch, and iterate on — before you've committed a full development budget.

Who It's For

Pre-seed founders who need something to show investors before raising
Idea-stage entrepreneurs who want to validate before committing to a full build
Founders who have been pitching a concept and need a real product to back it up
Non-technical founders who need a technical partner to move fast
Teams that want to de-risk their MVP investment with a lean prototype first

The Founder Prototype Program Phases

🎯

Phase 1: Define

1 week

We work with you to crystallize the core idea into a buildable scope. What is the one thing your prototype needs to demonstrate? Who are you building it for, and what do you need to learn? This phase turns a concept into a clear, executable plan.

Core hypothesis and success criteria defined
Target user and key use case identified

Phase 2: Build

2–4 weeks

We build fast. Using the defined scope, we produce a working, interactive prototype — not a mockup or a slide deck. This is real software your users can touch, your investors can see, and you can learn from.

Core user flow fully functional

Phase 3: Validate

1–2 weeks

A prototype is only valuable if it teaches you something. We help you put it in front of real users, collect structured feedback, and interpret what you've learned — so your next move is informed by evidence, not assumption.

User testing sessions (5–10 participants)
Structured feedback synthesis
Key learnings and recommended next steps
