Discovery to public launch in 14 weeks with a 3-person senior team.
/ The Brief
The problem.
A funded founding team had a sharp hypothesis, a runway clock, and no product. They needed a senior team that could discover, design, and ship — not a staffing agency.
Goals
- Validate the core hypothesis with real users in weeks, not months.
- Launch a production-grade product on a startup runway.
- Hand off a codebase the in-house team would actually want to inherit.
/ Our Approach
What we built.
We embedded a small, senior team — product, design, and engineering — and ran in tight weekly increments. Every release was reviewable; every decision was traceable.
- 01Two-week discovery sprint with founders and pilot customers.
- 02Production-grade foundation on day one — auth, billing, observability.
- 03Continuous deployment from week three; pilot users on a private build.
- 04Documented handoff and pairing with the first in-house hire.

/ The Result
Outcomes that shipped.
The product launched on schedule with paying customers on day one, and the founding team kept building on the foundation we shipped.

“They acted like founders, not contractors. We launched on time with a codebase our first engineering hire was genuinely happy to inherit.”
