From stuck idea to working software—without the overwhelm

I help bootstrapped nontechnical founders go from fuzzy idea to user-ready product—quickly, clearly, and without wasting money.

Build Fast

Perfect if you're ready to turn your idea into real, working software

Typical Duration

5-7 weeks

What's Included

  • Prototype Sprint

    In 7 business days, we'll build a live demo of your core feature so you can show it to real users

  • Live Product Build

    Over 4-6 weeks, turn that demo into a working product with signup and payment flow if needed

  • Live Launch Setup

    We'll get your product online—buying the hosting, setting up deployment, and making sure it stays up

  • Optional Check-In Call

    A 2-hour strategy session to review what's built and plan next steps

Deliverables

Live Prototype Link

A shareable URL to test and demo your core feature in action

Live Product

Project Handoff Kit

✅ Live & User-Ready or Money Back

If we don't deliver a working product that real users can sign up for and use, I'll refund your entire investment. Period.

Outcome: You'll end up with a live, user-ready product that you can show, test, and start turning into real traction—without needing to touch servers or write a single line of code.

Common Questions From Founders

What if the engagement doesn't meet expectations?

Each tier has a specific guarantee: Build Fast offers 'Live & User-Ready or Money Back', and Grow Smart has a 100% refund for first 3 clients if not satisfied after 2 weeks.

Do I need an in-house dev team for this to work?

No. Build Fast only needs a decision-maker. Grow Smart works whether you're solo or have a team—I adapt to your situation.

Who owns the code and IP?

You own all deliverables. Code is transferred to your GitHub account after final payment.

How will we communicate and track progress?

Email, optional WhatsApp, Google Meet, and a shared Notion dashboard for transparent progress tracking.
