LightningStudio

MVP development for startups

You have an idea and you want it in front of real users, fast. We turn ideas into working products in weeks, not quarters: first a prototype to test the big questions, then a first version that is designed, built and launched in the stores.

Speed does not mean cutting corners. We shipped Camstead to TestFlight 8 days after its first commit, and No Pain No Gain, watch apps included, in 10.

Common questions

Still curious? Ask us anything; we reply within one business day.

How long does it take to build an MVP?

A focused first version usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks. A clickable prototype takes about a week. Your quote includes a timeline for your project.

What is included?

Design, the app, the backend it needs, testing, and the launch in the App Store and Google Play. You get a build to install every week along the way.

Can we start smaller?

Yes. Many projects start with a Spark: a prototype in about a week that tests the idea before you commit to the full build.
