mvp build
the smallest version that real users can use — app or web. from $3,500

software for startups & founders
a founder with an idea needs the version of the product that can meet users — not a six-month engagement, not a no-code demo that collapses at the first real feature.
i've shipped my own consumer app solo: design, code, backend, subscriptions, app store review, the appeal when review got it wrong. that end-to-end path is what an mvp needs, and you keep the repo.
the usual pain
- you have the idea and the users, not the technical team
- agency quotes start at six figures
- the no-code prototype hit its ceiling
- your technical co-founder search is month six
what actually fixes it
app + backend + payments
the whole stack, not just screens. from $4,500
ai features
assistants, retrieval and pipelines with guardrails that hold. from $1,000
ongoing development
a standing block of hours as you see fit. from $450/mo
every price is a published starting point, not a quote — the real number is agreed in writing before anything starts.
proof, not promises
curio
consumer ios app on the app store: react/typescript, capacitor, express, postgres, storekit subscriptions, ai content in four languages — built alone.

how fast can an mvp ship?
weeks, not quarters — scope decides. we cut to the version that tests the idea, in writing, before building.
do i own the code?
completely — repo, accounts and infrastructure from day one. investors will ask; the answer is yes.
can you keep building after launch?
yes — ongoing from $450/mo, or fixed quotes per milestone as you raise.
