How We Do It
After your free strategy session, we create a custom action plan tailored to your team’s specific stage, skill gaps, and priorities. This plan maps out all the critical steps—so you know exactly where you need help, what comes next, and how to stay on track.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens after the free strategy session?
After the session, we build a tailored MVP action plan. This outlines exactly
what steps to take, who needs to be involved, and where we can offer hands-on support. It is in the form of a monthly subscription for a limited duration.
- Do you help with writing product requirements?
Yes. We write clear, structured PRDs to align your product, dev, and design
teams around a shared understanding of the MVP scope.
- How do you prioritize MVP features?
We use industry-standard methods like MoSCoW or Kano prioritization to help you focus on building only what matters most for learning and traction.
- Can you help source technical vendors or prototyping resources?
Absolutely. We assist in identifying, vetting, and coordinating with freelance
engineers, design teams, and manufacturers based on your product needs.
- What does the subscription plan include for MVP support?
Depending on your subscription, we dedicate a set number of hours each month to planning, reviewing deliverables, and collaborating with your team. You can scale up or down based on your build phase.
- Can I pause or adjust the plan once my MVP launches?
Yes. All subscriptions are flexible month-to-month with 30 day notice. Many clients scale down to lighter support once their MVP is validated.
