MVP development for startups
A small senior team from Latin America scopes the smallest useful version of your product, builds it in weekly demos, and launches it on your accounts. Built for non-technical founders and seed-stage teams.
MVP development is building the smallest version of a product that real users can pay for or rely on, so you learn what to build next from usage instead of guesses. A good MVP partner cuts scope aggressively, ships a working slice every week, and hands you code, accounts and a team you can keep or replace.

The founder problem
Non-technical founders get stuck in the same loop: investors want traction, traction needs a product, and building a product seems to need a CTO and three engineers you cannot afford yet. Freelancers are cheap until the second one has to understand what the first one did. Big agencies quote six figures and six months. An MVP engagement breaks the loop. You get a product designer and two or three senior engineers who have shipped early-stage products before, a tech lead who owns the technical decisions, and a fixed scope that protects your runway. When the MVP is live, you keep the engineers month to month or hand off to your first hires.
Your options
An honest comparison. The right answer depends on your runway, your technical confidence, and how fast you need to learn.
| Model | Best for | How you pay | Typical timeline | Team shape |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EnzRossi MVP team | Founders who want one accountable team, a fixed scope and the option to keep the engineers after launch. | Fixed price for the MVP scope, typically $40,000 to $120,000. Month to month after launch. | 8 to 12 weeks including a one-week scope phase. | Tech lead, 2 senior engineers, part-time product designer and QA. |
| Freelancers | Very small scopes, a prototype for a demo day, or founders who can manage engineers themselves. | Hourly or per project. Cheapest per hour, most expensive per rewrite. | Varies. Coordination and handoffs between freelancers are the usual delay. | One or two individuals with no shared accountability. |
| US product agency | Well-funded teams that need brand, design and engineering under one roof and can absorb the rate. | Typically $150,000 to $400,000 for a comparable MVP. | 4 to 6 months is common. | Account manager, designers, engineers, PM. Larger team, higher overhead. |
Price ranges are typical market figures for a SaaS MVP with authentication, a core workflow, payments and an admin view. Your scope decides your number.
Why founders pick this
The one-week scope phase produces a written list of what ships in the MVP and what waits. Founders leave with a fixed price and a launch date instead of a vague estimate.
Early-stage products punish inexperience. The engineers on MVP work have shipped production SaaS before and pass the same five-dimension vetting as every engineer we place.
Weekly demos on a live staging URL. You use the product as it grows, and course corrections cost a week, not a quarter.
Repositories, cloud, payments and analytics live in your name from day one. No handover surprises, no vendor lock-in, and investors can see the code.
We do not take equity or success fees. You pay for the scope you approved. Changes go through a written change request.
Most founders keep one or two engineers month to month after launch. Same people, same context, and a fraction of the cost of a first in-house hire.
The process
Step 01
One week. We map who the first users are, what they must be able to do on day one, and what waits for version two. You leave with a written scope and a fixed price.
Step 02
A product designer sketches the three to five screens that carry the whole product. Clickable prototype in week two, tested with you before code starts.
Step 03
Two to three engineers ship a working slice every week. You see it, use it, and redirect early. Nothing waits for a big reveal.
Step 04
Authentication, payments, analytics, error tracking and a deploy pipeline get finished, tested, and documented. You launch on your own infrastructure and accounts.
Step 05
After launch most founders keep one or two of the engineers month to month. If you hire in-house instead, we run a handoff week and stay available for 30 days.
Best fit
You have talked to users and know what the first version has to do. You need a technical partner you can trust before you can hire one.
A no-code or freelancer-built prototype proved the idea. Now it needs to become a real product that can take payments and scale.
An internal venture that needs to move faster than the core organization, with a small team and a fixed budget.
