Services for startups
MVP development services for startups
We can help you launch an MVP application to the market within 1–3 months to validate your business idea and attract investors.
About the service
MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the simplest version of a product that includes only its core features to help businesses validate ideas with minimal resources and development time.
What we do:
Allocate as many designers and developers as needed to complete the minimum viable product development process in time.
Complete all the MVP app development stages within 1–3 months.
Deliver a fully-functioning app that meets your business needs.
When do you need custom MVP development?
There are several reasons when you might need our minimum viable product (MVP) development services:
Want to quickly test your business idea on the market
If you have a promising product idea, there’s no need to create all its features at once. Instead, you can create an MVP with just key features to test the idea on real users and decide whether it needs further product development.
Need to convince investors
To secure funding from investors, you need to present something that will convince them of your project's potential. A working prototype, even a single feature MVP will work much better than presentations.
Need to enter the market fast to get ahead of competitors
The MVP approach helps you cut the development time, since you will only need to create the key features. The faster you reach the market, the more chances your product has to win the users’ attention.
You launch a startup and have a limited budget
Startups often have limited budgets but still need to create fully-functioning products to attract users. Pilot MVP development allows entrepreneurs to build working products with a minimum budget by putting off unnecessary features until the next releases.
Our approaches to MVP development services
At Ronas IT, we can deliver our custom MVP development services in 2 ways:
Standard MVP app development
We allocate a standard team of developers and designers for custom software development of your product. In this case, we need around 3 months to complete an MVP app with all key features. It suits you if you need to test a business hypothesis and build a strong foundation for the product.
Urgent MVP app development
We involve as many team members as your project requires, so they could work seamlessly on parallel tasks and complete them faster. Urgent MVP development services may come at a higher cost, but in this case, we can deliver the MVP in just 1 month. It suits you if you need to finish the product as soon as possible to get ahead of competitors or convince investors.
The process of our MVP development services
We deliver full-cycle product development services from MVP consulting and business analysis to UI/UX design, development, and post-launch support.
1
Business analysis
The MVP development process starts from collecting all the necessary information. We analyze the requirements of the project, clarify how urgently you need to develop an application, define a tech stack and create the project breakdown. As a result, our customer gets a refined and precise list of features that will be included in the MVP solution.
2
Planning
We use an agile methodology called Scrumban to manage our workflows. We divide our work into 1-2 week iterations — by the end of each the customer gets a tangible result and can check it. At this stage, we also form the project team depending on its goals. In case the project needs to be completed super urgently, we allocate more members of the dedicated development team.
3
UI/UX design
This step involves creating the user interface for the future product. While delivering MVP development services, UI/UX and dev teams work in close coordination to create interface mockups that can be easily developed. Through MVP prototyping, we create interactive mockups that are easy to implement, ensuring the user experience is both visually appealing and functional.
4
Software development and quality assurance
After the design mockup is approved by the customer, we start the development process. Our MVP developers write clear code and develop essential features according to the project plan. We run automated tests to ensure the app is reliable, functions smoothly, and meets the desired quality standards before deployment.
5
Release
At this stage, IT environments are deployed for web apps, while mobile apps are sent to Google Play and App Store. We have helped more than 80 customers to release their minimum viable products, so we know how to spend minimum time and resources at this step.
6
Post-release support
After the MVP is ready and tested on the market, you might want to enhance it upon user feedback and add new features to your mobile app. In this case, you can keep cooperating with us, as we can continue maintaining your product after the release.
Projects we created with our MVP app development services
Reading app
For this project, we created an MVP of a reading service that feels like reading a paper book but includes features like bookmarks, notes, and text highlighting. We created UI/UX design and developed both mobile and web apps using React Native and Laravel, focusing on smart use of resources and improving the user experience with design touches like hidden navigation bars and smooth scrolling. We also developed an admin panel for easy content management. We provided our client with a larger team to deliver the apps on time, and let them test their business idea faster. They continue to work with us for ongoing post-launch support and to explore new ways to make money from the service.
Lainappi
We helped the Lainappi team to create a rental app that lets users rent items rather than own them, promoting sustainability. For mobile app development, we used React Native to make the app work on both Android and iOS. We improved the previous design, added features like international login options, and made the user flow straightforward by using chat for renting.
By focusing on the app's core functionality, we achieved the business goal of launching the app quickly and effectively despite budget limits. Since its release, the app has attracted thousands of downloads and active users across both platforms, and we are working on its continuous improvement.
Waku Waku
We provided custom MVP development services to create Waku Waku, a platform for anime enthusiasts to discover new episodes and engage with a community. Using React Native, Laravel, and Next.js, we designed and developed mobile and web applications, focusing on essential features like gamification and interactive discussions.
Over five months, our team delivered a vibrant, user-friendly app that supports subscriptions and lets users earn Waku points for engaging with anime content. We successfully launched the app within a budget of approximately $50,000, and our client continues to work with us for future development.
OddsCrowd
In 2018, the OddsCrowd team approached us to develop a web app for a sports betting community, focusing on user needs for making forecasts and creating leaderboards. We developed an MVP solution that included features like secure login, odds comparison, algorithm for smart data monitoring, payment integration, completing the MVP web development in 3 months to launch before the Super Bowl.
Using PHP Laravel for the backend and Vue.js for the frontend, we optimized performance for a high-volume user base. The app has successfully operated for over 5 years and has led to further expansion into mobile app development.

Cost savings

MVP software development helps to minimize initial costs since you avoid investing in developing all features and functionalities at once. Our software and MVP development company leverages a robust tech stack and years of experience to develop high-quality MVP apps at a reasonable cost.

Users feedback
The most crucial outcome of MVP software development is real user reviews and experiences.

Accelerated development process
MVP app development is the optimal way to introduce your unique idea to the market sooner than competitors and engage the first users of your product. Instead of allocating resources to full-cycle software development that doesn’t guarantee successful results, an MVP helps to gather accurate user feedback on the core value proposition of your product. This allows you to continue the development process based on real user data.
