For startups

MVP development for startups

An MVP is the first working version of a product with only what it cannot work without. You show it to early users and investors to test the idea instead of guessing. Kinto builds MVPs as web services or Telegram Mini Apps, usually in 4–8 weeks. Estimate within 1 day after a free brief.

How we cut the extras

The most common startup mistake is building everything at once. Six months of development, and then it turns out users needed one feature out of ten. So on the brief we ask an awkward question: what single action should a user take for you to know the idea works?

We build the first version around that action: sign-in, the core flow, payments if you cannot test demand without them, and a simple admin panel. Everything else goes on a later list, with an estimate.

You see a working version by link within the first weeks. If it becomes clear along the way that the hypothesis is different, we change the plan before the budget goes on extras.

Who it is for

Who we build MVPs with

Founders with an idea

You know the market but have no development team. We help decide what goes into version one and build it.

Companies launching something new

You want to test a new product without distracting your team. We build it separately and hand over the code.

Projects before an investor meeting

You need to show a working product with first users, not a slide deck.

These are guidelines. We put the exact price and timeline in an estimate after a free brief, and you get it within 1 day. Everything is fixed in the contract before work starts.

How we work: five steps

01Brief

A short call on Telegram or video: the task, the users, what the first version needs. Free. You get an estimate with price and timeline within 1 day.

02Prototype

We show the key screens before writing code. Changes are cheapest at this stage.

03Development

We build in parts and share a working version by link along the way, not an archive at the end.

04Launch

We test on real data and on phones, deploy to your account and hand over the code and access.

05Support

Fixes and improvements based on user feedback. Optional, billed monthly.

FAQ

How much does an MVP cost?

It depends on the scope: how many screens, roles and integrations. After a free brief we send an estimate with price and timeline within 1 day and fix it in the contract. Payment is usually 50% before start and 50% after launch.

How long does it take?

Usually 4–8 weeks. If the core flow is simple and can be tested in Telegram, it can be faster. The exact timeline goes into the estimate.

Do we need a technical specification?

No. Describe the idea and the user in your own words. We put together the feature list and the prototype with you in the first stage.

Wouldn't no-code be better?

Sometimes it would, and we will say so. If the idea can be tested with a landing page or a spreadsheet, start there and keep the development budget.

What happens after the MVP?

We look at how the first users behave and decide what to develop next. We can keep building or hand the code to your team.

Who owns the code?

You do. We hand over the code and access, and the project can run on your own account or server.
