Dear founders,

You had the spark. The idea that wouldn't leave you alone. You even took action—hired a dev shop, brought on freelancers, maybe tried no-code tools.

But somewhere along the way, things went sideways.

  • • Your GitHub repo is gathering dust
  • • That "MVP" is still just a Figma file
  • • Agencies want $150k and six months
  • • Freelancers vanish mid-project
  • • Your momentum? Dead.
You don't need another agency. You need someone who ships.

We're BuildThatMVP—a small team of founding engineers who've been in the trenches, building startups from zero to millions.

We're not consultants who talk. We're builders who ship.

Our track record speaks for itself: See our work →

  • • 7 marketplaces built from scratch—including one successful exit
  • • $100M+ in platform transactions powered by our code
  • • 100K+ active users across multiple products
  • • Shipped in weeks what agencies quoted in months
  • • From idea to revenue in under 30 days, repeatedly

We've seen the same pattern hundreds of times: founders get stuck in endless planning, perfect-is-the-enemy-of-done loops, and death by a thousand meetings.

Meanwhile, their competitors are already live, learning, and iterating.

The only thing that matters is a live product with real users.

Our Philosophy

  • Ship fast, learn faster
  • Real users beat perfect plans
  • Working code is the best pitch deck
  • Momentum is everything
