You have the SaaS idea. We build the production MVP while you close your first customers.
A SaaS MVP is not a prototype. It's a production application with real auth, real payments, real data persistence, and a UX that demonstrates the value proposition clearly enough to convert a prospect into a paying user. We build it in 12 weeks — fixed scope, fixed price.
You're ready to build your SaaS product and need a development partner who can turn a spec into a production application — not a Bubble prototype or a mockup.
SaaS MVPs fail at two distinct stages. The first is the build stage: the product takes too long, costs too much, or is delivered at a quality level that can't convert real paying users. The second is the iteration stage: the MVP is delivered but the architecture is too rigid to iterate on, so every feature addition requires a rebuild of the data model or the API.
The build stage failure is usually a scope problem. "Build a SaaS MVP" is not a specification. The specification is: specific user roles, specific features for each role, specific payment model (per-seat? usage-based? flat monthly?), specific integrations (which third-party APIs does the product need?), and specific compliance requirements (HIPAA? SOC 2?). The 12-week timeline is achievable when the scope is precise and the scope is right for 12 weeks — not when "MVP" means "everything we might ever want."
The iteration stage failure is usually an architecture problem. A SaaS MVP built as a single-tenant application doesn't become multi-tenant through refactoring — it requires a rebuild of the data model. A payment model implemented as a custom billing system doesn't become Stripe-integrated through refactoring — it requires replacement. Getting the architecture right in the MVP means the iteration stage is extension rather than rework.
A production-ready SaaS MVP with multi-tenant architecture, Stripe subscriptions, Clerk auth, and the core feature set that demonstrates your value proposition to paying customers.
Multi-tenant architecture from day one
Clerk Organisations for tenant management, Postgres row-level security for data isolation, per-tenant configuration, and user roles within organisations. Adding a new tenant is a data operation, not a deployment.
Stripe subscription infrastructure
The payment model implemented in Stripe Billing — per-seat pricing, flat monthly, usage-based, or tiered — with webhook processing, subscription lifecycle management, and a customer billing portal. Payment is live from the first user.
Core feature implementation
The 3–5 features that demonstrate the value proposition. Scoped precisely to fit the 12-week timeline and validated with the client before development starts.
Admin dashboard
A super-admin view for managing tenants, users, and subscriptions. Essential for early-stage SaaS operations when you're manually onboarding customers.
Deployment and monitoring
Production deployment on Vercel with Sentry error tracking, uptime monitoring, and analytics. The product is observable from the first user. Built on Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Clerk, Stripe.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
SaaS MVPs built on time-and-materials are the most common source of the "we spent $100k and still don't have a product" situation. Fixed scope and fixed price means the product exists at the end — or the developer hasn't fulfilled the contract.

The minimum viable SaaS MVP that can convert real paying users needs: authentication and user management, the core feature that delivers the primary value proposition, payment processing, and a UX that makes the value proposition clear within 5 minutes of use. Below this minimum, the "product" can't demonstrate whether it's worth paying for.
The pricing model (per-seat, flat, usage-based) needs to be decided before development starts because it affects the Stripe implementation and the usage tracking in the application. If the pricing model is genuinely undecided, the build implements the most likely model with a configuration that makes switching models possible post-launch.
Posthog or equivalent product analytics is included — event tracking for core user actions, funnel analysis for conversion, and retention metrics. Product analytics is included in the standard SaaS MVP scope.
A production SaaS MVP with multi-tenant auth, Stripe subscriptions, and 3–5 core features typically runs $25k–$65k. Complexity of the core feature set is the main variable. Fixed-price.
