How we ship production MVPs in 6 weeks
Not a prototype. Not a demo. A real, deployed product — in six weeks. Here's the exact process.
Week 1: Ruthless scoping
We spend the entire first week deciding what NOT to build. Every feature gets a 'is this required for the raise or launch goal?' filter. Anything that doesn't pass gets cut. No exceptions.
Week 2-3: Design sprint
We don't go to high fidelity on everything. Key flows get full hi-fi treatment. Supporting screens get mid-fi. Edge cases get a note in the handoff doc. Speed over perfection at this stage.
Week 4-5: Build
We use Next.js and Supabase for most products. It's not exotic but it ships. Our component library means we're not rebuilding buttons and modals — we're building the actual product.
Week 6: QA, deploy, handoff
Real devices, real browsers. We deploy to Vercel. We hand off a Notion doc with the codebase overview, environment setup, and the 10 most likely things the client will want to change first.
