IT Craft startup developers complete most MVP projects within 3–5 months, unless the project requires a highly complex MVP with multiple integrations.
More importantly, we have expertise in meeting tight deadlines. If you face time pressure, be sure to discuss your requirements with us to get an expert outlook on what is possible in your case.

Good question! Usually, startup development costs fall into a range between $15,000 and $200,000+. Project size and feature complexity are the two most important cost factors:

• $10,000–$30,000 costs a prototype or a small app
• $40,000–$150,000 costs a mid-complexity app
• $200,000+ costs a high-complexity system

Costs can be higher when software is designated for a regulated industry.

Absolutely. Our startup software development services cover project rescue and finalization, product pivot, technological modernization, expansion, maintenance, and more. Feel free to discuss your needs with our startup developers!

Here are the core measures that we use to ensure transparent software development processes:

• complete a discovery phase for the new startup client to clarify key project details, determine possible risks, and ensure a shared project vision
• provide a project plan with high-level estimates and milestones
• agree on key metrics for measuring project progress
• assign a dedicated project manager who stays in constant touch with the client
• schedule daily or weekly calls to discuss project updates and statuses—whatever fits better your project needs
• provide detailed estimates at the beginning of each sprint and reports at the end
• foster the culture of open communication, blameless post-mortems, and ownership of project decisions
• signalize of emerging challenges and work proactively on their elimination

Yes, we do. We have a dedicated department specializing in 24/7/365 software and infrastructure management, and can take over all required maintenance activities, including monitoring, support, cost optimization, security enhancements, updates, expansion, and more.
