In short

MVP development is building the smallest working version of a product to test it with real users. LOLCorp helps founders scope, design and launch an MVP in about 4 to 8 weeks, on a foundation that can grow into the full product.

01 Define

Problem, users, riskiest assumptions and the smallest build that tests them.

We separate must-haves from nice-to-haves so you launch the smallest thing that proves the idea.

02 Prototype

A clickable prototype to validate flows before engineering.

Short, demo-driven sprints put a real product in front of users quickly.

03 Build

Weekly releases of the MVP with you in the loop.

Your MVP is production-grade code, so you build on it instead of throwing it away.

04 Launch & learn

Go live, measure real use and plan the next iteration.

Code, IP and infrastructure are yours, which matters to investors and acquirers.

MVP development company for founders

As an MVP development company and MVP development agency UK founders can work with closely, we help you decide what to build first and then build it. We provide software prototype development for testing with customers and investors, and full startup software development to take the product live.

If you need website developers for startups, we build the marketing site and the product together. See our SaaS and web application pages for what comes after launch.

What a good MVP looks like

A minimum viable product is the smallest version of your product that lets real users do the one thing it exists for, so you can learn whether it is worth building more. Most MVPs fail by trying to do too much. Our job is to help you cut scope without cutting quality.

For startup software development and startup app development, we favour a single well-built core flow over a long feature list, and we design the data model and architecture so the next features slot in cleanly. We can also build a software prototype first when you need something to show investors or test with customers before committing to a full build.

Our guide to scoping an MVP walks through the process, and how to build a SaaS product covers what comes after launch. Planning a subscription product? See SaaS development.
