SaaS: $10K MVP Built in 8 Weeks
Custom SaaS platform built for $10K budget. From concept to launch in 8 weeks. Startup-friendly pricing, enterprise-quality execution. Still scaling together 2+ years later.
The Challenge
Startup founder needed a custom SaaS platform but had limited budget ($10K). Needed MVP in 8 weeks. Wanted enterprise-quality execution, not quick hacks.
Problem: Most agencies either charge $50K+ or deliver low-quality work. Founder needed technical excellence on a startup budget. Platform needed to scale from 10 users to 1,000+ without rebuild.
What We Did
Step 1: Ruthless Prioritization
Founder wanted 40 features. We delivered 12 core features that made the product work. Advanced features came in Phase 2 after revenue. MVP-first mentality kept us on time and budget.
Result: On-time, on-budget delivery. $200 under budget. 12 core features shipped. Platform now at 500+ users, $400K+ ARR.
Step 2: Daily Communication
Daily progress updates to founder. Continuous feedback loops. Shipped working features every week (not all at the end). Founder saw progress constantly, reducing anxiety.
Result: Zero "big reveal" surprises. Founder approved features incrementally. Risk reduction through transparency.
Step 3: Speed-First Architecture
Built for 10 users at launch but architected for 1,000+ users at scale. Clean database schema, efficient queries, scalable infrastructure from day one.
Result: Platform handled 50x user growth (10 → 500 users) with zero performance degradation. No rebuild required.
Step 4: Security From Day One
Secure authentication, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, proper user permissions—built into MVP. Many startups skip security in MVP and retrofit later.
Result: Zero security incidents in 2+ years of operation. Security-first from launch.
