MVP Development for Startups — From Idea to First Users in 6–12 Weeks

Six weeks from signed contract to live product. Codevia builds startup MVPs with a fixed scope and honest budget. You ship to users, then decide what to build next.

MVP development for startups at Codevia means a specific scope document, signed before development starts. We define an MVP as: auth + core workflow + one way to capture value (billing or contact). Not a feature-complete product. Speed and scope discipline matter more than tech stack for a first release. We are an offshore MVP development agency in Ukraine, and we deliver startup MVPs in 6–14 weeks depending on platform.

What Is in a Typical MVP

  • User authentication (email + OAuth via Google or Apple)
  • Core workflow — 1–2 primary user flows
  • Basic dashboard or profile
  • Payments (Stripe or LiqPay depending on market)
  • Email notifications (transactional)
  • Analytics hookup (GA4 or Mixpanel)
  • Admin panel for basic operations only

Who This Is For

Pre-seed and Seed Founders

You have an idea and a budget but no technical co-founder. Build startup MVP fast — this is our most common engagement.

Domain Experts

Deep industry knowledge but no dev team. We turn your domain logic into a product that real users can pay for.

Companies Testing a New Product Line

Core business is stable, you want to test a new vertical without risk to the main product. An MVP gives you an answer in 2–3 months.

Process

  1. 01

    Discovery (3–5 days)

    We define the MVP scope document: exactly what ships, what waits, what constitutes 'done'. This is signed before development begins.

  2. 02

    UX wireframes (1–2 weeks)

    Low-fidelity wireframes in Figma for all screens in scope. You approve before we move to visual design.

  3. 03

    Build (4–10 weeks)

    Frontend, backend, integrations — developed in parallel where possible. Weekly demos of completed modules.

  4. 04

    QA (3–5 days)

    Functional testing across all scope items. Bug fixes included. Regression check before release.

  5. 05

    Launch (1–2 days)

    Deploy, domain, analytics, App Store submission if mobile. First month of critical bug fixes included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you do not need to validate the core hypothesis. No advanced admin panel, no complex reporting, no multi-language support, no A/B testing infrastructure, no deep analytics. An MVP is auth + core loop + one way to capture value. We help you decide what stays and what waits.
You do, completely. Code goes into your repositories. Figma files are yours. All accounts and domains are in your name from day one. We sign an IP assignment clause in the contract.
We lock scope before development starts — that document is the contract. New features discovered mid-project go into a phase 2 list, not the current build. This is how we deliver on time.
A demo-quality build (clickable, looks real, key flow works) can be ready in 3–4 weeks. A production-quality MVP development startup delivery is 6–12 weeks. Tell us the deadline and we scope accordingly.
First month of critical bug fixes is included. After that, we offer a monthly support retainer ($500–$1,500/month depending on scope) or a time-and-material arrangement for feature additions.
Post-launch features are scoped and priced as a new engagement (phase 2). We avoid scope creep agreements — they benefit neither party. Clean contracts, clear deliverables.
