MVP Development for Startups

- Expert-led scoping to focus on must-have features.

A standard MVP typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from discovery to launch. At Codeman Academy, we focus on Lean Velocity, aiming to get a functional version in the hands of early adopters within 60 days to maximize feedback loops.
It depends on your scale. No-Code is excellent for simple workflow validation, but custom code (using React or Node.js) is essential for startups planning to raise VC funding or integrate complex AI. We often recommend a hybrid approach to balance speed and scalability.
Your MVP should only include features that solve the primary pain point of your target user. We use the MoSCoW method (Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, Won't-have) to strip away feature creep and ensure your budget is spent only on high-impact functionality.
