Sample founder-led startup (illustrative): From scoped idea to paying users in six weeks
A solo founder with a validated problem and no technical co-founder needed a production-grade product, not a prototype, with a handover plan that left them owning everything.

Challenge
A no-code prototype had hit its limits on auth, billing and data integrity, and investors wanted real usage data.
The founder needed a fixed price and a fixed finish line to manage runway.
Solution
- A one-week scoping sprint produced a fixed-price build plan that stated what six weeks could and could not include.
- Next.js, Supabase and Stripe billing, with one AI feature scoped to what users said they would pay for.
- Weekly demos, a handover recording, and documentation so a future in-house hire could take over.
Results
- 6 weeks scoping to launch
- 100% code and IP assigned at commit one
- 1 AI feature shipped with evals
