The MVP Accelerator takes your idea from concept to a working product fast, so you can launch, learn from real users, and grow with confidence instead of guesswork. Rapid prototyping 6–12 week launch AI-native by default Built to scale The essentials ## An idea to prove, and a product at the end. ## Who's it for Founders and teams with an idea to prove. If you need to get a real product in front of real users **without burning months and budget**, this is where you start. - You have an idea and no technical team to build it. - You want to test a concept before investing seriously. - You need to be in the market in weeks, not months. - You will need to scale if it works. ## What you'll get A real product in the market, **on foundations that hold as you grow**. - Product definition and rapid prototyping. - A working, launch-ready MVP on solid foundations. - Support through the product roll-out. - A clear roadmap for what comes next. “ > This methodology is time-tested and validated by the overwhelming success of numerous clients who launched their MVPs. It is **a roadmap to the digital marketplace**, with the hard decisions already mapped. Pedro Romano Partner & Head of Operations, AppX The methodology ## A proven path to launch. From the first conversation to a stable product in the wild. Five clear phases, refined across more than 100 products. - 01 Phase 01 · Kick-off ### Discovery Meeting Your first meeting with AppX sets the stage for your product journey, aligning on vision, user needs, goals, market insights, and constraints. - 02 Phase 02 · Planning ### Specification & quote After the Discovery Meeting, we draft the AppX Specification & Quote, detailing the project scope, sprint plan, tech stack, timeline, and costs. - 03 Phase 03 · Development ### Agile development sprints 3.1 #### Product Sprint Product Discovery sessions, UX/UI, architecture and functional diagrams. 3.2 #### MVP Sprints The product is built in two-week sprints, with planning to adjust priorities and reviews to ensure alignment. Key features first, to match your budget. 3.3 #### Deployment Sprint We prepare the release: cloud environments, CI/CD, and we address bug-fixes, migrations and product hardening. 3.4 #### Testing Sprint Close collaboration with you. We address bugs and harden the product, while you share usage reports comparing expected and actual results. - 04 Phase 04 · Launch ### Go-live The go-live stage marks the moment when the digital product is deployed to a live environment, making it accessible to real users. - 05 Phase 05 · Stabilize ### Assisted roll-out We focus on post-go-live stabilization through bug fixes and active monitoring to ensure smooth operations, then AppX Care takes it forward. Specification & Quote ## You'll know exactly what you're building. Before a single line of code, you get the AppX Specification & Quote: a clear document detailing everything we agreed on, so there are no surprises down the line. - Project scope - Sprint plan - Tech stack - Timeline - Cost breakdown - Architecture Inside a sprint ## Progress you can see, every week. We build in short, agile sprints, a tight, repeating loop that keeps you close to the work and the product always moving forward. **01Plan** We agree the goal and scope for the next 10 days. **04Feedback** You steer, we fold it into the next sprint, and repeat. Agile 10 days per sprint 01 02 03 04 **02Build** The engineering team ships working software against that goal. **03Demo** Every sprint ends with a live demo of real, running product. ↻ The loop repeats until launch, no surprises, no black box. AI-native development ## The way we build makes us faster. Our development is AI-native. Artificial intelligence runs through how we work, from the first research to production code, and that is what lets us deliver in weeks what used to take months, and with higher quality. ### Discovery AI-assisted research explores markets, competitors and user needs in hours, so week one starts with sharper insight instead of a blank page. ### Design Generative tools let us explore more directions and iterate on flows quickly, so we land on the right experience in fewer, cheaper cycles. ### Development Our engineering team builds with AI-assisted workflows that accelerate delivery, while senior review keeps quality, security and clean architecture exactly where they should be. The result Better software, faster. The same craft, delivered in a fraction of the time. Cutting-edge technology that not only speeds up every phase, but validates, audits and improves quality. Traditional build 6–12 months AppX MVP Accelerator 6–12 weeks Built to scale ## Tech stack. The foundations we build every product on. At AppX, we stand by the power and flexibility of **open-source technologies**, ensuring our clients access cutting-edge tools without licensing fees.

By integrating with leading cloud services like DigitalOcean, Heroku and AWS, we eliminate infrastructure management concerns. We select the optimal cloud provider for your needs, with initial setup by our expert team. Integrations ## Seamless integrations. Looking to level up your product? We excel at integrating with the most renowned third-party providers, from payments and analytics to AI and authentication. Let's unlock new possibilities for your software. FAQ ## Frequently asked questions. How long does it take to build an MVP? Most MVPs launch within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on scope and complexity. During the Discovery Meeting and Specification & Quote, we give you a clear timeline and estimate before any build begins. What do I actually get at the end? A working, shippable product deployed to the market, built on solid foundations, plus the design, source code and documentation. It's the first real version of your idea, ready to be tested and validated by users. Will the MVP scale if it succeeds? Yes. We engineer with clean architecture and modern, scalable technologies from the start, so a successful MVP evolves smoothly into a full product rather than needing a rebuild. Where does AI come in? Our development is AI-native: AI runs through the entire process, from research to design and engineering. We deliver in weeks what used to take months, and with higher quality: AI validates, audits and improves each step, with human review keeping the final rigor. Is this solution ideal for me? If you have a product idea but lack the technical resources to build it, or you want to test a new concept quickly and cost-effectively, the MVP Accelerator is the perfect fit. What technologies do you use? Our main stack is Node.js with Express on the backend, React or Angular on the frontend and PostgreSQL or MySQL for the database, all open-source and with no licensing fees. We also work with Rails, Laravel and many other technologies (you can see the full stack above). It is a modern stack, validated by many companies and thousands of users, that guarantees a robust, scalable product. What if I already have an MVP and need help improving it? That's exactly why we created our [Team Extension](/solutions/team-extension) solution. If you already have an MVP and need extra expertise, our team can plug in and take your product to the next level. How much will it cost? Pricing is based on the scope and complexity of the project. During the Discovery Meeting we discuss your needs, then provide a Specification & Quote with detailed pricing tailored to your project. ## Let's build your MVP.
