MVP development company that ships in weeks.

MVP development means shipping the leanest version of your product that strangers will sign up for and pay for. As an MVP development company, yop scopes it with you, builds it in short cycles and puts it live, so you learn from customers instead of from slides.

Scope cutter

What goes in, what waits.

Move features between “In the MVP” and “Later”. Five is a healthy first version.

    How to build an MVP

    How to build an MVP without the wasted year.

    To build an MVP, name the one thing you need to learn, cut the product down to the task that proves it, and put it in front of paying users as early as you can.

    01

    Name the risk

    Write the single belief that, if false, would kill the product. That belief is what the MVP tests.

    02

    Cut the scope

    Keep sign-up, the core task and payment. Everything else moves to Later, even the features you love.

    03

    Design the flow

    Clickable screens for the core task, tried by five real users before any code is written.

    04

    Build and ship

    Short cycles with a live staging link. The first version goes to real users, not to a demo day.

    05

    Measure and decide

    Watch what users do, not what they say. Then build the next feature, change course or stop.

    Small on purpose, real from day one.

    Questions

    Before you write a line of code.

    How long does an MVP take?

    Most first versions we scope fit into a few weeks of build time. The exact number comes out of the discovery workshop, not out of a template.

    No. A prototype shows an idea; an MVP is real software that real users can sign up for and use.

    One team, because it owns the whole path: scope, design, code, launch and the data to decide what comes next. At yop the same small team carries it from sketch to launch, so nothing falls between freelancers.

    It depends on the core task and the integrations it needs. After a discovery workshop we give a fixed price for the first version, so the budget is known before the build starts.
