MVP building
as a service
I help startups go from idea to working product — fast. No bloated feature sets, no over-engineering. Just the core product your users actually need.

Who am I
I've been where you are.
I'm Stephen. I co-built FireJet, a B2C SaaS product to $100K ARR, and through that process I learned what actually matters when you're starting out and what doesn't.
Most startups over-build. They spend months on features nobody asked for, burn cash, and miss their window. I take the opposite approach. We'll figure out the core thing your users need, build it well, and get it in front of people.
I work directly with founders, that means no project managers, no handoffs, no game of telephone. You talk to the person writing the code.
How it works
From idea to product
in four steps.
01
Tell me your idea
We chat. You tell me what you're building and who it's for. No decks needed.
02
I scope the MVP
I figure out what actually needs to be built. Not a feature wishlist — the minimum that proves your concept.
03
I build it
You get a working product. Real code, real infrastructure, real users can use it.
04
We iterate
Users give feedback, we learn, we improve. Rinse and repeat until you have product-market fit.

My philosophy
Build less. Launch sooner.
No feature creep
I'll push back on features that don't serve your core users. A focused product beats a bloated one every time.
No unnecessary complexity
I pick boring, proven technology where possible. Your MVP doesn't need a microservices architecture.
Honest timelines
I'll tell you what's realistic and what isn't. No inflated estimates, no scope surprises.
You own everything
The code, the infrastructure, the accounts — it's all yours. No lock-in, no strings attached.
Direct communication
One person, one chat. I don't hide behind ticketing systems or weekly status meetings.
Built to iterate
The first version is never the last. I build things so they can evolve as you learn from your users.
