Find the riskiest assumption.
Define the user, problem, core action, and success signal before deciding what belongs in the build.
Independent product builder · worldwide
Build the first useful version.
Not every idea needs a full product before it deserves attention. I help founders reduce uncertainty, choose the smallest valuable workflow, and ship an MVP people can actually try.
The promiseLess guessing. More evidence.
A good MVP is not the cheapest possible build. It is the smallest build that can teach you something about the market without wasting your time, money, or trust.
Start smallUsually, a validation sprint is the cheapest sensible first step.
It can be as small as a clear landing page, a clickable prototype, or one real workflow with analytics and a feedback loop.
What I do
From fuzzy idea to testable product.
I work with non-technical founders and small teams who need a practical path from “we should build this” to “people can use it.” The output is scoped around the decision you need to make next.
Turn the idea into a scope.
Turn features into a focused user journey, clear acceptance criteria, and a realistic build plan.
Build and deploy the first version.
Deliver a usable product with the necessary plumbing, analytics, documentation, and a path for the next decision.
The right first build
Choose the smallest thing that answers the biggest question.
Not every project needs a full SaaS dashboard on day one. The right first build depends on what you need to learn.
Validation page
Message, offer, email capture, analytics, and a clear way for visitors to react.
Clickable prototype
Test the workflow and language before paying for production infrastructure.
Focused web MVP
One real workflow with just enough auth, data, feedback, and deployment to learn from usage.
Planning ranges, not fixed packages
Price follows the build.
There is no honest universal price for an MVP. These are planning bands to help you decide whether the next step makes sense. Send the problem, not a vague feature list, and I will reply with a scoped estimate by email.
| Starting point | Typical planning range | What it helps you learn |
|---|---|---|
| Validation page | $500–$1,500 | Whether the right people understand and want the offer. |
| Prototype | $750–$2,500 | Whether the core workflow feels clear before engineering it. |
| Focused web MVP | $1,500–$5,000 | Whether real users complete the core action. |
| SaaS or AI product | $3,000–$10,000+ | Whether the product creates enough value to retain or pay for. |
Email first
Tell me what you need to learn.
Include the problem, who it is for, what exists today, and what you want to happen after launch. I will reply with questions, a likely first step, and an honest range.
