What to Know

Key insights from our experience across 80+ projects

💡

Stage 1 – Idea Refinement

Define the problem, not the solution. Document your target user, their pain, and your unique value proposition. A sharp idea statement is the foundation of everything that follows.

🔍

Stage 2 – Market & Competitor Research

Who else is solving this? Map existing players, identify gaps, and carve your differentiation. This research shapes your feature list and your investor narrative simultaneously.

🖼️

Stage 3 – Wireframes & Prototype

Low-fidelity wireframes → high-fidelity Figma prototype. Test the user journey before development starts. This stage costs ₹30–60K and saves ₹2–5L in post-development rework.

✂️

Stage 4 – MVP Scoping

Cut your feature list to the absolute core. Define v1 vs v2. Choose your tech stack. Set your timeline and budget. This is where most projects succeed or fail — scope discipline is everything.

🛠️

Stage 5 – Development & Testing

Agile sprints with bi-weekly demos. You see working software every 2 weeks — not a big reveal at the end. QA runs in parallel, not after. Full App Store/Play Store deployment included.

📣

Stage 6 – Launch & Growth

App Store submission, onboarding flow optimisation, analytics setup (Mixpanel/PostHog), and user acquisition strategy. Launch is not the end — it's the beginning of iteration.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to go from idea to a live app?

A lean MVP takes 6–10 weeks. A full startup app with multiple user types, payments, and admin dashboard takes 12–16 weeks. The biggest variable is scope — the more ruthlessly you scope your v1, the faster you launch. We help with scope definition as part of our discovery process.

I have an idea but no technical knowledge — where do I start?

Start with a free 30-minute discovery call with our team. We'll help you articulate your idea, identify the core user problem, and map a realistic path to launch. Non-technical founders are our most common client — we handle all tech decisions.

Do I need to validate my idea before spending on development?

Yes — always. Before any development, you should talk to 10–20 potential users, build a Figma prototype, and ideally collect a pre-launch waitlist or LOIs. We can help with the prototype stage (₹30–60K) before committing to full development.

What is the total cost to go from idea to a live startup app?

Broken down: Prototype (₹30–60K) + MVP development (₹2–8L) + Post-launch support (₹15–30K/month). Total for a complete MVP journey: ₹3–10 lakhs depending on complexity. We provide itemised quotes after a free discovery session.

How do I protect my idea when talking to a development company?

We sign a mutual NDA before any project discussion — our standard practice, not an exception. Your idea, feature list, business model, and codebase are fully confidential and IP-assigned to you from day one.

What happens after my app launches?

We provide 30–60 days of included post-launch support (bug fixes, monitoring, minor updates). After that, most clients move to a monthly maintenance retainer (₹20–50K/month) for ongoing feature development, performance optimisation, and scaling.
