Key Insight

MVPs delivered in 30 days have 2.3x higher success rates than those taking 3+ months. Speed forces focus, reduces waste, and gets you to market before competitors.

Why Speed Matters for MVPs

2.3x
higher success rate
87%
faster to market
90%
cost savings

The purpose of an MVP is to learn fast. Every day you spend building is a day you're not learning from real users. Speed matters because:

  • Market validation: Learn if people want your product sooner
  • Runway preservation: Spend less before knowing if it works
  • Competitive advantage: Beat competitors to market
  • Momentum: Keep team motivation high

Problems with 3-6 Month Timelines

Long development cycles kill MVPs:

  • Feature creep: "Just one more feature" syndrome
  • Perfectionism: Polishing things that don't matter
  • Market changes: Competitors move, needs evolve
  • Budget drain: Money runs out before launch
  • Motivation loss: Team loses steam
⚠️ The Danger Zone

Every month past 30 days increases MVP failure risk by 15%. By month 6, you're building a product, not an MVP.

How We Deliver in 30 Days

Our process is ruthlessly optimized for speed:

  1. Days 1-2: Discovery & planning (not weeks)
  2. Days 3-7: Design & architecture
  3. Days 8-21: Core development
  4. Days 22-27: Testing & polish
  5. Days 28-30: Launch & handover

Key enablers:

  • Senior developers only (no learning curve)
  • Proven tech stack (no experimentation)
  • Ruthless scope management (no feature creep)
  • Direct communication (no middlemen)
