ByteWave

MVP for startups

ByteWave builds MVPs for startups: from idea validation to first revenue in 4-8 weeks. Pragmatic approach, measurable goals, code ready to scale. Software house from Gdansk, Poland with experience in SaaS platforms, marketplaces and AI applications.

What we build

Solutions tailored to the business

01

Idea validation

Discovery workshop, competitive analysis, process mapping, MVP scope definition. We help decide what to build now and what to defer. Real minimum product testable on the market.

02

MVP in 4-8 weeks

2-week sprints with a working product version at the end of each sprint. Discovery → Design → Develop → Deploy in one cycle. First user tests already after 3-4 weeks.

03

Stack ready to scale

Technology choice not just for MVP, but for the next 12-24 months. Astro/Next.js/Flutter, Postgres, AWS. No vendor lock-in, code 100% owned by the client.

04

Iteration after feedback

After MVP launch we collect data: conversion, retention, NPS. We decide together what to develop, what to remove. Optional continuation in product partnership mode.

Technologies

Tech stack that scales

Product & Discovery

Lean Canvas
Business model mapping in 1 session. Identifying customer segments, value propositions and distribution channels.
User Story Mapping
Visual mapping of features from user perspective. MVP scope vs roadmap definition.
Figma + Prototyping
Clickable prototypes for testing UX before coding. Validating assumptions with users in 1-2 weeks.
Mixpanel / GA4
Product analytics from day one. Tracking key events, conversion funnels, retention.

Frontend & Mobile

Next.js / Astro
SSR/SSG frameworks. SEO out of the box, fast loading, conversion optimization from first deploy.
Flutter / React Native
Cross-platform mobile apps for startups. One codebase for iOS and Android, 40% budget savings vs native.
Tailwind CSS
Utility-first CSS. Fast UI iterations without writing CSS from scratch, consistent design system from start.
TypeScript
Type safety reduces bugs during rapid development. Easier onboarding of additional developers post-MVP.

Backend & Infra

Node.js / NestJS
REST/GraphQL API with TypeScript. Fast development, good performance for MVP, easy migration to microservices later.
PostgreSQL + Prisma
Solid relational database with ORM. JSON for flexibility, versioned migrations, ready to scale.
AWS / Vercel
Cloud hosting with auto-deploy. Free tier sufficient for MVP, smooth transition to scaled infrastructure.
Stripe / PayU
Subscription or one-time payments from day one. Webhooks, invoices, accounting integration.
How we work

From idea to deployment

01

Discovery

Analysis of needs, business and technical requirements. We define goals and project scope.

02

Design

UX/UI design, system architecture, prototyping. We visualize the solution before coding.

03

Development

Iterative product building with regular demos. Agile, transparent process, constant contact.

04

Deployment

Testing, deployment, user training. Technical support and growth after launch.

Frequently asked questions

Questions? We have answers

MVP starts from 7,000 EUR (simple SaaS product or app) up to 18,000 EUR (extended MVP with integrations and admin panel). Range quote after Discovery (1-2 meetings, free). Payment in 3-4 milestone-based installments.

Typically 4-8 weeks from contract signing. Week 1-2: Discovery and design. Week 3-6: development in 2-week sprints. Week 7-8: testing, deployment, training. Working product demo after each sprint.

Three things: (1) Stack ready to scale - we choose technologies for the next 24 months, not just for MVP. (2) Full IP ownership - code, repository, documentation belong to the client. (3) Pragmatic approach - we say "no" to features that can wait. This shortens time-to-market by 30-40%.

Discovery upfront aims to minimize this - we identify business risks before coding. After MVP we analyze data (conversion, retention, NPS) and decide together: pivot, continue or stop. No hidden costs, code stays with the client.

Yes. Code, documentation, GitHub repository - everything belongs to the client from day one. No vendor lock-in, clean architecture, README and deploy instructions. You can replace us with in-house team or another contractor without risk.
