Leverage the expertise of professionals from the IT and VC/PE sectors.
What is MVP Development?
MVP Development is a strategy for creating an application with only the essential features that address the core problems of target users. By developing an MVP, we can cost-effectively determine actual user reception and needs, and use feedback to regularly make adjustments, ensuring that the project’s future direction is business-justified.
Benefits of MVP Development
The key benefits of an application MVP include relatively low market entry costs, rapid time-to-market, and a focus on validating the business idea with users. By limiting functionalities to only what is truly needed to gain and maintain users, we can reduce costs and time-to-market while maintaining quality – and build your app within 3 months from the start of development.
The approach to MVP development has evolved over the years. Due to the availability of various solutions, today’s MVPs often need to be more than just a minimal set of features. They must be a complete product that effectively addresses a specific user problem.
Got a great idea? Without a validated MVP, it doesn't matter.
We’ve seen hundreds of exciting business ideas from great leaders. A lack of experience in application development, team, time, or necessary resources often effectively prevents these ideas from materializing.
What determines the value of your idea is its execution.
90% of startups fail due to a lack of product-market fit.
Launching your ideas without MVP is a great risk
According to various studies and reports, building a product or service without a MVP means:
- Between 60-100% higher development costs for the application (The Lean Startup)
- Approximately 90% higher risk of business failure (failory.com)
- Significantly higher costs to launch the business before validating if the business model works (most startups that fail)
- Investing in an idea with limited potential for pivoting - adjusting the business model if it turns out to be flawed
When should you build a MVP?
Not sure if your app will achieve your goals?
MVP approach allows you to test your business model and see how users interact with the product’s features.
This way, you can quickly validate your idea with customers and gain insights that you can use to further develop your sales process and product. Rapid prototyping of assumptions reduces the risk of incurring significant costs of building a full product and allows you to pivot - adjust your business model as needed.
Not sure if you will be able to attract customers?
Do you have a product idea but aren’t sure if potential customers will want to use it?
By creating an MVP of the application, you can quickly obtain feedback from customers. By testing the MVP’s features and product-market fit, you’ll start finding out what customers think of your product in just 3 months.
Collecting analytical data allows you to verify ideas and assumptions for further development. We use tools that will help you understand customer preferences, monitor their behavior, and track traction.
Have a limited budget or don’t want to invest large sums before validating product-market fit?
In most cases, creating an MVP is the best way to test product-market fit.
This approach saves you time, resources, and reduces costs. You can evaluate whether the proposed development direction is valid. You can always expand the application with additional features later, and the MVP will provide you with customer feedback and traction. This way, you will get clear information on whether it is worth investing additional budget into the project.
Our team will focus on Value Engineering from the very start of our work – our approach to MVP development enables you to achieve certain functionalities more quickly or at a lower cost while maintaining high application quality.
Investors are interested in the idea but want to see traction first
With an MVP of your application, you can quickly create a solution that starts acquiring initial customers.
We work with leading VC/PE funds in Poland, and from our experience, most investors expect to see documented traction before committing to a larger investment.
Traction includes factors such as the number of acquired customers, their activity, usage patterns, as well as understanding the cost of acquisition and monetization potential of the project. Through effective functionality planning and the use of analytical tools (including UX studies), we gather data that will allow you to properly document traction and establish the next steps for development, including the product and service monetization strategy.
Don’t have a team to build your application from scratch and want to quickly launch your business?
Building a complete and experienced team for MVP development is a complex, time-consuming, and costly task.
Especially if you’re looking for top-notch professionals who will be true partners throughout the entire development cycle.
Before investing time and resources into building your own technical team for a full product, you can quickly - within just 3 months - develop an MVP with us. This will allow you to start acquiring initial customers.
Our team will focus on developing the MVP and delivering a product and features that will form the foundation of your business. When your product is ready, we’ll help you build your own team.
As a founder, your first job is to get the first things right, because you cannot build a great company on a flawed foundation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to develop an MVP?
The cost of developing an MVP application typically ranges from 10,000€ to 60,000€. Within this budget, you will receive an application with features tested with users, designed to attract and maintain initial users and demonstrate traction to potential investors.
We will also transfer the intellectual property rights, technical documentation, and implement analytical tools so you can independently gather feedback and develop the MVP. The cost depends primarily on the type of features, their quantity, and specific project requirements. If you want to know the exact cost for your MVP, contact us.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
We aim to make the application MVP available to users within 3 months from the project start. The development time may be extended depending on the target audience and the jointly defined testing plan. For example, if you want to create an app for financial institution executives, convincing them to participate in user testing may take more time.
What should I do after building an MVP?
The first step after creating the MVP application is to monitor how users interact with it. We use analytical tools such as Hotjar or MS Clarity to determine which features are used most frequently, identify areas for improvement, and achieve product-market fit as quickly as possible.
We then optimize conversion rates and collaboratively implement user acquisition strategies to gain traction and develop the product with new features. We will also help you plan your product development strategy and prepare for an investment round.
What are the best strategies for testing my app MVP?
The best strategy for testing an MVP is one that is based on user feedback and data. It should be tailored to the project's specifics and target audience, and gather as much information as possible to guide the project's development.
To achieve this, we use A/B testing, user interviews, usability testing, Lean Canvas models, online surveys, pilot implementations, and comprehensive product analytics tools and methods to understand how the product is used. The key to effective MVP testing is iterative development and quickly implementing changes based on gathered feedback. This approach allows for gradual product improvement while minimizing unnecessary expenses and the risk of misguided ideas.
What if my concept and plan changes during the project?
We know that in IT projects, the scope and needs can change from week to week - which is why our cooperation process is designed to accommodate to frequent shifts. We work in Time & Materials model and rely on Agile Management methodologies. Even if there is a need to change most of the scope, we have no problem with that.
