Turn your software idea into a real, working web app in just 14 days.
A fully responsive, clickable front-end with a real database and real interactions - not a Figma facade. You ship a working product investors and customers can actually use, then we add custom design once it is validated.
No commitment. 30-minute strategic fit call.
21 years shipping software. Past client work includes:
The default playbook is broken
22% of SaaS startups fail because they build what nobody wants.
The default playbook is to write a brief, hire developers, polish pixel-perfect designs - and pray. That is the most expensive mistake in software.
Designing too early
$30k of design and $50k of development - on an idea nobody has actually used yet. Most of it ends up in the trash after the first round of real user feedback.
Pretty mockups, no proof
Investors and customers see through a Figma demo. They fund - and use - software that actually works: real flows, real data, real edge cases.
Endless redesigns
Polishing pixels before validating the product means every user-research insight forces a full design redo. Function should be locked before form gets touched.
The Launch14 method
Build it. Click it. Validate it.
A real working web app - responsive frontend, real database, real interactions - in 14 days. No custom design yet, just default UI components. The skeleton is functional from day one.
A real app you can actually use - not a clickable Figma facade
Production-grade Next.js + TypeScript frontend. Real Postgres database with seed data. Sign-up, dashboards, CRUD, edge cases - all wired up end-to-end. Deployed to a shareable URL. Investors and customers click through a working product.
Validate with the only thing that matters - actual usage
Hover states do not validate a business. Real users entering real data, hitting real edge cases, breaking real flows - that is the only signal worth listening to. Pivot the logic before a single pixel of custom design is touched.
Validate the entire product for ~$5k
Skip the months of pixel-perfect design and the engineering team that builds the wrong thing twice. Two weeks, one working prototype, one validated business model. Polished design comes after - on top of code that already works.

How we work
A de-risked path from idea to a scalable, designed MVP
Two clear stages. You only commit to the next one when the previous one delivers a working, validated product.
- 012 Weeksfrom $5k
Working Prototype
We build a real, responsive web app - frontend, database, all key flows wired up end-to-end. Default UI components only (no custom design). You ship a working product investors can click through and customers can actually test.
- Production-grade Next.js + TypeScript frontend
- Real Postgres database with seed data
- All key user flows clickable end-to-end (auth, CRUD, dashboards)
- Deployed at your-app.vercel.app, shareable URL from day 1
- Full source code + IP transfer - you own everything
- 022-4 Monthsfrom $20k
Designed & Scalable MVP
We build on top of the validated prototype: custom design system, brand applied, marketing site, polished interactions, payments and any remaining backend complexity. Same codebase, production-ready.
- Custom UI design system + brand applied to every screen
- Polished components, micro-interactions, empty states
- Marketing pages + onboarding flows
- Auth, payments, analytics and email fully wired up
- Production deployment on Vercel + 30 days of post-launch support
You don't pay for custom design until real users prove they want the product.
Case study
How Saynice shipped a working testimonial widget in 14 days - then matched competitors charging $30-59/mo with a $0 free tier.
- 14 daysIdea to working app
- $0 vs $30-59Free tier vs. competitors
- 4 layoutsValidated with real users
- Problem
- Saynice's founder wanted to compete head-on with Testimonial.to, Senja and VideoAsk - but feared the multi-month build would burn capital before product-market fit was tested. The category leader (Senja) charges $30-59/mo. To break in with a generous free tier, every dollar of dev spend had to be earned by validated demand - not assumed by a pretty mockup.
- Solution
- We built a working prototype in 14 days - real Next.js frontend, real Postgres database, real testimonial collection forms, real embeddable widgets. Default UI components (no custom design yet). The founder shared a live URL with 30+ creators and agencies who could actually create accounts, submit reviews and embed widgets on their sites.
- Result
- Real usage data killed two planned features and validated four layout variants nobody had originally prioritised. The prototype became the foundation of the MVP - same codebase, custom design layered on top. Today Saynice is live at saynice.io with full audio/video support, unlimited testimonials on Pro, and zero wasted engineering on features users never asked for.
The prototype was the ultimate cheat code for our launch. Within two weeks we had a working app real users could test - and the data killed two features we were sure we needed.

FounderHead of Technology @ 180heartbeats + JUNG v. MATT, Founder @ Rockon Tech (11 yrs).
21 years shipping software for some of Poland's biggest brands - PGE, ING Zycie, LOT, Onet. I have seen, from the inside, what kills startup MVPs: too much money on design before validation, too many stakeholders, too late to pivot. Launch14 is the playbook I wish I had when I started building products. One person leading the work. Two-week sprints. Working code on day one - investor and customer ready.
