Making a too-big product is the biggest mistake. Everybody knows they need better software. But the majority of entrepreneurs launch their SaaS businesses with a product that is unnecessarily large, putting them at an immediate strategic disadvantage.
After working together on a prototype, we realistically estimate your software project
We start with business strategy. Then we move on to prototyping. Once your concept is validated, then and only then, do we move onto MVP software development.
Minimize your SaaS project
At the start of our on-site Sprint Zero Workshop, we will get a full picture of the problem that you are setting out to solve and determine whether any proposed functionality can go.
Create a realistic prototype
We never start with coding or even design mockups. Instead, we build a semi-functional prototype that you can click and play around with. This lets you get feedback on your product and make changes before we build.
Build your minimum viable product
We build your product with the best-fit technologies and frameworks, working on top of out-of-the box functionality where applicable and ensuring that the code is easy to test and maintain.
Maintain quality & add features overtime
After you’ve launched the first iteration of your MVP, we’re still here for you. We run DevOps for continuous deployment, maintain quality of existing functionality, and build out the additional features in your product backlog. And with a product manager on every DevSecOps team, we always put the customer first.
Your SaaS minimum viable product is even more “minimum” than you think it is. Too many development agencies and freelancers set up their services so that they profit from pitching you a big project. They’ll convince you that you need features you don’t during your launch. Or worse, when they hear you describe a feature that may not be necessary to deliver value to your initial customers, they won’t tell you that your idea can wait.
This of course, is how entrepreneurs overspend in the earliest stages of their business. For bootstrapped entrepreneurs, this is dangerous. Even if you have a great product that customers need, you can struggle to regain positive cash flow because your monster of a product is weighing you down. We don’t let this happen. We’ve even built our SaaS software development business so that we’re incentivized when you launch something that you can sell as quickly as possible. Because we operate on a month-to-month basis (allowing you to cancel at any time), we remain cash flow friendly. When our customers have a true SaaS product that delivers the requisite value in order to sell, we get repeat clients who stick with us. In other words, we’re on your side because we’re good people, and because we’ve set up our business model the right way.
