I've worked with ivelum for many years on all stages – from ideation and launch to scaling to millions of users. They are top-notch.
Launch fast and within budget
We've been building software for startups for years, so we know firsthand how important it is to stay lean while moving fast. Whether you need a web app or a mobile app, we'll help you build it as efficiently as possible.
Likely weeks, under $10k
In our experience, an MVP for most software product ideas can be launched within a few weeks. Why not days, you might ask? Shouldn't that be possible with AI? It may be, but a product built that quickly will likely have plenty of rough edges, and competition among startups is now at an all-time high. And if something can be built that fast, it can be copied just as fast, or even faster. On the other hand, spending months building an MVP before getting any user feedback is risky. That's why we see "a few weeks" as the sweet spot.
Get a rough estimate within 48hNo need for detailed specs
Some agencies expect you to know exactly what you want to build before they start. We don't. Even if your idea isn't fully formed yet, we'll brainstorm it with you and suggest the best way to build it. We'll research the competition, map out user flows, create the designs, and provide strategic technology guidance along the way.
Already have a prototype? Great, we'll take it from there. We'll build what's missing and take care of quality, security, and production infrastructure, so your launch makes the right first impression.
Proven technologies
Our technology stack is built on reliable, widely adopted open-source technologies backed by strong developer communities. We work with Python, Django, Node.js, PHP, React, and React Native, as well as all major cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
After launch: Monitor, measure, iterate
After launch, it's crucial to gather user feedback, understand the user experience, and iterate quickly based on what we learn. We work with a wide range of monitoring and analytics tools, with Sentry, New Relic, and PostHog being our favorites. They offer world-class monitoring at startup-friendly prices, or even for free.
Trusted by founders
We've partnered with more than 50 founders, from early ideas to $100M+ exits. Whether you're validating a concept or scaling toward acquisition, we bring the experience to help you move faster at every stage.
FAQ
Do you need detailed requirements?
Not at all. Just share your idea, and we'll brainstorm the best approach together. If you've already done some research or built a working prototype, great: we'll build on what you have.
Can you work with a prototype built with AI or no-code tools?
Absolutely. We’ll review what you already have, figure out what can be reused and what is missing, and take it from there.
Will the MVP need to be rebuilt if the product takes off?
Not necessarily. We build on proven technologies and architecture that can scale without being overengineered, so even the first release gives you a solid foundation to grow from. Some parts may need to evolve as usage increases, but an MVP doesn’t have to be disposable.
Who owns the code?
You do. As our customer, you own all intellectual property developed under the contract. All service accounts, such as GitHub, AWS, Sentry, and others, are registered in your company's name. All work is carried out in code repositories and production environments that you own.
Do I need someone technical to manage your developers?
Not necessarily. If you have a CTO or technical co-founder, we’re happy to work with them. If you don’t, we offer Fractional CTO services at no additional cost to all our clients.
How much of my time will you need?
It depends on the project, but most of our clients find that a weekly check-in works well. If anything comes up between check-ins, we can have a quick chat or a call. We also post daily updates in the team chat, so you can follow our progress whenever it suits you.
