MVP Development

MVP & Prototype Development - Validate Your Idea Before You Build

PiTangent builds lean MVPs and clickable prototypes that validate your idea with real users – so you invest in a full build only when you know it works. From discovery to demo in 12 weeks.

What is an MVP?

An MVP – Minimum Viable Product – is the smallest working version of your product that tests your core idea with real users. With an MVP, you verify that your idea can withstand competitors and meet user demands at the lowest possible cost and time – before committing to a full build. A great opportunity to show investors your concept is worth backing.

Types of MVPs & Prototypes We Build

Clickable Prototype

Interactive Figma prototypes that simulate the full user experience - click through screens, navigate menus, and experience user flows. No code, no backend. Ideal for early validation and investor pitches.

Non-Functional Static Prototype

High-fidelity visual designs that showcase aesthetics, branding, and layout without interactive elements. Perfect for gathering feedback on look and feel and making early design adjustments before development begins.

Web App MVP

A lean, fully functional web application built to test your core product hypothesis with real users - built on React, Node.js, and AWS with a real backend, real data, and a production-ready CI/CD pipeline from day one.

Mobile App MVP

A working iOS or Android MVP - or cross-platform Flutter build - with core user flows, push notifications, user authentication, and deployment to the App Store and Google Play. From brief to launch in 10–14 weeks.

SaaS MVP

A multi-tenant SaaS application with user authentication, subscription billing, a core feature set, and an admin dashboard - built to attract your first paying customers and validate willingness to pay before scaling the product.

AI-Powered MVP

An MVP with AI or ML features baked in from day one - LLM-powered workflows, recommendation engines, intelligent search, or predictive tools. Validates whether the AI adds measurable value before committing to a full AI product build.

Concept vs Prototype vs MVP vs Full Build - Which Do You Need?

Criterion Concept Only Prototype (Figma) MVP Full Product Build
Can show to investors? No - idea only Yes - visual demo Yes - functional demo Yes
Users can test independently? No With guidance only Yes - real product Yes
Working code? None None Yes - partial Yes - complete
Time to build 0 - exists on paper 1-4 weeks 8-16 weeks 6-18 months
Cost $0 $3K-$15K $15K-$120K $80K-$800K+
Validates core assumption? No Partially (UX only) Yes - with real users Yes (after full launch)
Reusable for next stage? No Design assets only 80%+ code reusable N/A - is the product
Best for Internal clarity Early feedback / pitch Market validation Scaling proven product

Rapid Prototyping & MVP Tech Stack

Figma

UI/UX design and clickable prototype creation - the industry standard for wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and interactive prototypes that simulate the full user experience.

React / Next.js

Frontend framework for web app MVPs - fast development, server-side rendering for SEO, and a production-ready codebase that scales directly from MVP to full product.

Node.js / Python

Backend API and data layer for MVPs - REST APIs, authentication, database integration, and business logic built to be extended rather than rewritten when the product scales.

Flutter

Cross-platform mobile MVP framework - one codebase delivering native iOS and Android apps. 30–50% faster to build than two separate native apps, with near-native performance.

Firebase / Supabase

Rapid backend infrastructure - real-time database, user authentication, file storage, and serverless functions out of the box. Ideal for MVPs that need to move from idea to live product in weeks.

AWS / Vercel

Cloud deployment from day one - scalable infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline, automatic SSL, and environment management. Your MVP launches on the same infrastructure as your full product.

Our 6-Stage MVP Development Process

STEP 01

Discovery & Scoping

Analysis of your idea, competitor landscape, target users, market trends, and product future. Requirement prioritisation and development strategy.

STEP 02

Feature Prioritisation

Lean feature workshop: we identify the minimum feature set that validates your core hypothesis and removes everything that delays market validation.

STEP 03

UX Design & Prototype

User journeys, wireframes, and high-fidelity clickable prototype - reviewed and approved by you before any development code is written.

STEP 04

MVP Development

Sprint-based build: frontend, backend API, authentication, and database - production-ready code with CI/CD pipeline from the very first sprint.

STEP 05

User Testing & Validation

Real users test the MVP, feedback is collected and analysed, and the core product hypothesis is validated - or the roadmap is adjusted based on data.

STEP 06

Launch & Scale

Production deployment, App Store / Google Play submission if required, and a clear scale-up roadmap or full product build plan for what comes next.

Pricing Guide

Transparent pricing for all MVP development projects. All projects include full IP ownership, GDPR-compliant data handling, and source code delivery.

Fast Answers for Serious Buyers

Clear info on cost, IP, staffing, time zones, and compliance.

A prototype is a visual or interactive simulation of your product - built in Figma or similar design tools - that allows users and stakeholders to experience the interface and user flows without any functional code behind it. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a working software application with real code, a real backend, and real data - built with the minimum feature set needed to test your core product hypothesis with actual users. PiTangent builds both, and recommends starting with a clickable prototype before an MVP to validate the user experience before committing to development cost.
