MVP Design
& Development

Two paths. Take everything in-house – IP and documentation are yours, and any team can continue without us. Or keep the momentum with a [Dedicated Product Team](/solutions/dedicated-product-team): the same people who built your MVP execute the post-launch roadmap on a flat monthly model.

Yes – and it's a strong starting point. Your prototype is validated learning: we treat it as Stage 1 input, rebuild the product architecture around what it proved, and design a system your engineers (or Push) can ship properly.

An idea is enough. Stage 1 exists precisely to turn ambiguity into product architecture – user flows, edge cases, and scope. If you have wireframes or partial specs, we use them and Stage 1 gets shorter.

A launched (or launch-ready) product, the full Figma source files, a design system with tokens and component library, developer handoff documentation, and full IP transfer. Everything is documented so any team can continue without us.

Fixed Price: scope locked after Stage 1, fixed budget and delivery date – best when the MVP is defined and the deadline is hard. Dedicated Team: guaranteed minimum hours and team members with the ability to scale up within days – best for evolving roadmaps. Same team and process in both.

Our deepest experience is in sports analytics, iGaming, fintech, and SaaS – data-dense, compliance-aware products. That experience transfers: the hard parts of an MVP – product architecture, complex data UX, onboarding, regulated flows – repeat across industries, and seeing them across several verticals at once is visibility no single in-house team has. It's how we've entered verticals new to us, from MedTech to GovTech, with the same process holding up.

Yes – Market Research and Competitor Analysis are part of Stage 1, not a separate contract. We map how competitors solved your problem and stress-test the core product assumptions before design starts. Eurostavka came to us for a copy of an existing platform – research pointed to an uncontested niche, and the product changed direction entirely.

Your engineers get design tokens, documented component states, edge cases, and handoff specs mapped to code. We stay available during implementation and run Design QA before release, so the shipped product matches the design.

Both. Design is delivered by Flatstudio. If you need development, our engineering partner Push builds the frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure – you contract Push directly with zero markup. If you already have an in-house dev team, they receive a dev-ready design system and full handoff documentation.

From a few weeks for a focused, design-only MVP to a maximum of 6 months for a full design-and-development cycle. We confirm the timeline after Stage 1, once product architecture and scope are locked.

Flatstudio is a product design agency that designs and builds MVPs for funded startups – from product architecture and UX/UI to a dev-ready design system, with full development available through our engineering partner Push. Teams choose us for launched outcomes: Outlier went from our day-0 wireframes to a $10.43M Series A, and Oddible shipped with zero developer clarification cycles.

MVP design engagements start from €15,000, depending on product complexity. Complex, multi-platform MVPs go beyond that – we scope precisely after Stage 1 (Product Architecture), so you never commit to an unscoped budget. Design and development together is quoted individually.
