The Startup Trap Most Founders Fall Into

You have a great idea, but

Analysis Paralysis

You've been planning, wireframing, and researching for months. Meanwhile, your competitors are shipping. You need a prototype to test, not perfection.

Development Black Hole

Hiring a dev shop means $20K+ and 3-6 months. You don't need that yet. You need something quick and functional to validate your concept.

Can't Pitch Without It

Investors, customers, and partners need to SEE it, not just hear about it. Slides and mockups aren't enough. A working demo closes deals.

The Solution

A Real, Working Prototype in One Day

Forget months-long dev projects. In 3 intensive hours, I’ll build a functional prototype that demonstrates your core concept. It won’t be production-ready, but it WILL work—and that’s what matters for validation, pitches, and early testing.

Core Features Only

We focus on the 20% of features that demonstrate 80% of the value. No bloat, no nice-to-haves. Just the functionality that proves your concept works.

Modern Tech Stack

Built with production-ready tools (React, Next.js, Python, APIs, databases). Easy to hand off to developers later for full build-out.

Looks Professional

Clean, modern UI using Tailwind CSS and component libraries. Not pixel-perfect, but good enough to impress investors and early users.

Yours to Keep & Build On

Full source code, deployment instructions, and documentation. Take it to any developer to continue building. No vendor lock-in.

How Do You Want to Build?

Different founders have different needs. Choose your approach.

Build Together Live

Stay on screen for 3 hours. You provide input, I build in real-time. Perfect for founders who want to stay hands-on and learn the technical side.
Technical founders, hands-on builders, learning-focused entrepreneurs

Brief Me, I Build

Give me detailed specs, wireframes, and requirements. I’ll build independently and show you the working prototype at the end. Perfect for busy founders.
Non-technical founders, clear specifications, busy schedules

Best of Both

Kick-off call (30 min), I build while you handle other work, review session (30 min) to test and refine. Most efficient option.
Most projects, balanced approach, time-conscious founders

FAQ

Common Questions About SaaS Prototypes

What's the difference between a prototype and MVP?

A prototype proves your concept works—it demonstrates core functionality but may have rough edges. An MVP is a more polished version ready for real users. Most founders start with a prototype (what I build), validate, then invest in a full MVP.

Will this be production-ready?

Not quite. It’s functional and looks good, but it’s built for speed, not scale. Think of it as a proof-of-concept that proves your idea works. You’ll need additional development to make it production-ready (security hardening, optimization, testing).

Can I use this with real customers?

For demos and early beta testing, yes. For production use with paying customers, you’ll need additional work. I’ll flag what needs to be addressed before going live.

What if my idea is complex and needs more than 3 hours?

We can book multiple sessions. The first session builds the core, subsequent sessions add features. Most prototypes are complete in 1-2 sessions.

Can you build this in my preferred technology?

I typically use React/Next.js + Supabase/Firebase for speed, but if you have specific requirements (Python backend, specific framework), let me know during booking and we’ll discuss feasibility.

What if I don't have wireframes or designs?

No problem. We’ll sketch out the key screens together during the session. I have templates and components I can leverage to move quickly.

Can you help me after the prototype is done?

Yes! You can book additional sessions for new features, refinements, or consultation on next steps. Many clients use the follow-up session to plan their full development roadmap.

Is This Right For Your Project?

Perfect If You...

Have a SaaS idea you want to validate quickly
Need a demo to show investors, customers, or partners
Want to test your concept before investing in full development
Have mockups/wireframes but need something functional
Are a non-technical founder who needs technical help
Want to move fast without hiring a full dev team

Not Ideal If You...

Need a fully production-ready product immediately
Have no idea what you want to build yet
Expect enterprise-grade security and scalability from day one
Need ongoing development and maintenance
Want a mobile app (we focus on web apps)
Have unlimited budget for full dev team

What Happens After Your Prototype?

Validate & Iterate

Use your prototype to get feedback from potential users. Book additional sessions to refine based on what you learn.

Raise Funding

Show your working prototype to investors. Many founders secure seed funding with a functional demo. I can provide technical guidance for investor meetings.

Build to Production

Hand off the code to a development team for full build-out. I’ll provide a technical handoff document outlining what’s built and what’s needed next.

Ready to Build Your SaaS Prototype?

Stop planning. Start building. In just 3 hours, you’ll have a working prototype that validates your idea.
