Rapid MVP · AI-assisted · Senior-only
We turn your idea into an MVP with a real backend in 2–6 weeks, ready for your first real users, and ship landing pages that test demand in 3–7 days. AI speeds up the routine work; senior engineers with 10+ years of production experience own the architecture, code review and security.
What is an MVP
An MVP (minimum viable product) is the first usable version of a product, with the smallest set of features needed to test your core assumption with real users. It is not a demo or a mock-up: an MVP runs in production, works with real data and measures whether people actually use it. Our MVP development services have a single goal: find out quickly whether the full product deserves the investment, before the budget goes on features nobody wants.
A good MVP covers one complete core user journey and nothing that does not help you learn; the FAQ below spells out what that usually includes. We work with two kinds of teams: startup founders who need first users or evidence for investors, and corporate innovation teams validating a new product, service or internal tool before committing to a large programme.
Speed does not mean throwaway code. We build on a proven stack with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and monitoring from day one, so once the idea is validated you keep building on the same codebase. The 3–7 day and 2–6 week timelines come from 15+ years of production experience, disciplined scoping and AI-assisted development in which a senior engineer reviews every change.
What we deliver
Three delivery tiers that build on each other. Start where your assumption is cheapest to test, and move on only when the data says so.
A static website or landing page from brief to deployment in 3–7 days. A clear offer, a sign-up or waitlist form, conversion tracking, fast load times and solid SEO foundations. Ideal for testing demand before building an app, launching a campaign or introducing a new service. We set up the domain, hosting and CDN for you.
A web or mobile application that real customers can use. A typical scope: sign-in and roles, the core user journey, an admin area, payments or API integrations with your existing systems, cloud deployment, monitoring and analytics. We build from your design handoff or put together a clean, functional UI ourselves.
Once the MVP proves demand, we continue on the same codebase: adding features based on usage data, hardening the infrastructure and extending test coverage. If the product grows into a larger platform, moving on to custom software development or a long-term senior team is seamless, with no handover to a new supplier.
As an AI-assisted software development company, we use AI where it genuinely saves time: boilerplate, tests, migrations, documentation and first drafts of screens. A senior engineer owns the architecture, the data model, the review of every change and security. You get the pace AI makes possible, without code nobody on the team understands.
If your product depends on AI, we validate that in the first version: an assistant over your documents, data extraction from invoices or orders, request classification or an automated workflow step. Models are chosen to fit your data and privacy requirements, including running in the EU. Wider roll-outs continue as AI process automation.
Have a first version from a no-code tool, a freelancer or unreviewed AI output? After a short technical review we decide what can be built on and move straight into delivery: tests, CI/CD, sign-in and permissions, a proper cloud setup and the features paying customers still need. Need an independent written report first, for example for investors? We deliver it as technical due diligence.
Typical scenarios
Illustrative situations in which a rapid MVP typically makes the most sense. The scope always follows the assumption you need to test.
Startup
A founder has an idea and a limited budget, and needs evidence for investors or early customers. A landing page in 3–7 days tests whether the offer resonates; an MVP with sign-up, the core flow and card payments then shows whether people will pay. The next funding decision rests on data, not guesswork.
Corporate innovation
An innovation team wants to test a new customer-facing service, but a full project would take months and several approval rounds. The MVP runs separately from core systems, connects to data through APIs and is piloted with a selected customer group. Leadership sees real usage figures before signing off a budget.
Transport & logistics
A carrier wants to give customers visibility of shipments, statuses and notifications without calls to dispatch. An MVP connected to the existing system first tests the idea with a few key accounts. We know the domain from our own transport management platform, so dispatch, shipments and fleets need no lengthy explanation.
Manufacturing
A manufacturer tracks maintenance requests or quality checks in spreadsheets and email threads. A simple web app with roles, mobile data entry and an overview for supervisors is piloted on one line or site first. Only once the process proves itself is it rolled out to other sites and connected to the ERP.
E-commerce
An online shop is considering subscriptions, B2B ordering or its own mobile app. Instead of a large project, an MVP with sign-up, recurring payments and an admin area shows how many customers take up the new model. We know the move to a subscription model with a mobile app first-hand from our own product.
Finance & accounting
An accounting firm wants clients to upload invoices and receipts in one place instead of sending them by email. An MVP with secure sign-in, document upload and AI data extraction tests how much manual work it removes and how clients respond. With personal and financial data, access control, audit logs and EU hosting are designed in from the start.
Process
Short cycles, clear outputs and no black boxes. Every week you see working software, not a slide deck about it.
We get to grips with the problem, your target users and the assumption you need to test. The call is free and no-strings, we sign an NDA on request and we reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
We split features into must-haves for validation and those that can wait for a later iteration. You get the architecture, milestones and a transparent estimate, including infrastructure and deployment.
We work in short iterations with daily stand-ups, an open backlog and full repository access. Every week you get a demo on a live environment and can reprioritise what comes next.
We deploy to production with monitoring and analytics in place, then track how users actually behave, where they drop off and what they ask for, and collect feedback systematically.
Based on the data, we decide together whether to add features, change direction or scale. We look after monitoring, fixes and new releases, long-term if you wish and with a dedicated senior team.
Why Megu
Every engineer has 10+ years of production experience, and the company has 100+ production projects behind it. Your MVP is not built by an anonymous subcontractor or by a junior learning on your product.
A proven stack, cloud and CI/CD from day one. On our own product, which evolved from an ad-supported B2C website into a subscription SaaS with a full mobile app, the architecture handled 10x growth in active users.
Full repository access from day one and an NDA on request. Code ownership stays with you and IP terms are set out clearly in the contract, so you are not locked into any platform, or tied to us.
Based in Košice, Slovakia, we work under EU jurisdiction and design with GDPR and EU hosting options in mind. We communicate in English, German or Slovak, and stay on after launch for monitoring, fixes and iterations.
Technology
We choose tools to fit the product, not the trend. For MVPs we favour boring, proven technology that is quick to start with and easy to live with for years.
FAQ
An MVP should include only what is needed to test your core assumption with real users: one complete core user journey, sign-up and basic roles, a simple admin area, and the payment flow or integration your business model depends on. It also needs analytics to measure behaviour and a proper cloud deployment with monitoring, otherwise you cannot learn anything reliable from it. Everything else, from advanced settings to secondary platforms, belongs in later iterations.
With us, an MVP with a real backend typically takes 2–6 weeks, and a landing page or static website 3–7 days. Where a project lands within that range depends on the number of core features and integrations, and on how quickly content and decisions come from your side. You see working parts at the weekly demo, not only at the end. The pace comes from a senior team, tight scoping and AI-assisted development, not from skipping tests or security.
The cost of an MVP depends on its scope, so we do not publish packages or flat prices; you get a concrete, transparent estimate after a free first call. The main cost drivers are the number of user roles and screens, integrations with existing systems, payments, a mobile app alongside the web app, and security or AI requirements. The most effective way to lower the cost is to separate must-haves strictly from features that can wait. The estimate also covers infrastructure and deployment.
A proof of concept tests whether something is technically feasible, a prototype tests the design and usability, and an MVP tests whether people actually use or pay for the product. A PoC is usually an internal experiment without a user interface, such as testing an integration or an AI model. A prototype is a set of clickable screens with no backend. An MVP is a working product in production with sign-in, real data and measurement. If the biggest risk is technical, start with a PoC; if it is demand, start with a landing page or an MVP.
Yes, provided AI is used as a tool under senior engineering control rather than as a replacement for it. We use AI-assisted development to speed up boilerplate, tests, migrations and documentation, while a senior engineer owns the architecture, reviews every change and checks security. Unreviewed AI output, often called vibe coding, is fine for a quick experiment but commonly leads to security gaps and code nobody can maintain. If you already have an AI-generated MVP, we can review it with a code audit and fix what matters.
Choose no-code when the product is a simple workflow, speed matters above all and you can accept the platform's limits; choose a custom-coded MVP when the software itself is your business or your competitive edge. No-code tools typically start to hurt with complex integrations, performance at scale, data residency requirements and pricing that grows with your user base. A custom-coded MVP means you own the code, with IP terms set out in the contract, and can grow it into the full product without a migration. With 2–6 week delivery, the time difference is often smaller than expected.
Yes, an MVP is one of the most cost-effective ways for an enterprise to test a new product, service or internal tool before committing a large budget. The MVP runs separately from core systems, connects to them through APIs and is piloted with a selected group of customers or employees, so day-to-day operations are not disrupted. We design it with access control, audit logs and GDPR in mind from the start, and your team gets full repository access and ownership of the code. If the pilot succeeds, the same codebase grows into the production system.
We deliver a landing page or static website in 3–7 days, from brief to live deployment. The exact time depends on the number of sections and language versions, forms and integrations, and on whether copy and visuals are ready. Every page is responsive and fast-loading, with SEO foundations, conversion tracking and domain, hosting and CDN setup included. Our landing page development services are often the first step before an MVP, confirming that the offer attracts interest.
