Free Build
We'll build your MVP for free.
Full scope, full handoff. In exchange, we ask for a case study and a testimonial. That's it.
How the free build works
What's free
A full MVP build, roughly 10-20 hours of expert work, scoped to your real problem. Ends in a complete handoff: you own the repo, and it's deployed and working.
What we ask for
Rights to an anonymized case study, a testimonial, and the ability to reference the work in future conversations. Client covers initial and ongoing tech expenses. That's the whole trade.
What happens after
Want more once it's live, like ongoing support or a bigger build? That becomes a normal paid engagement. No pressure either way.
What a free build could look like

The Free Build Process
We don't publish list prices because the honest answer is “it depends on what you need.” Here is the shape of the conversation.
- FreePhase 1
Discovery + prototype
A focused engagement to scope the real problem and build something tangible to react to. Usually takes 1-2 weeks. Clients start here.
- Flat $Phase 2
Build & deploy
A full build of the agreed scope. Includes deployment and usage. Depends on the project, but typically takes another 1-2 weeks. Client covers initial and ongoing tech expenses.
- After launch
Ongoing support
Monthly retainer for small changes and on-demand support after launch. Scoped to what you actually need: sometimes a few hours a month, sometimes more.
- When you're ready
Progressive building
Have more needs that our initial build didn't cover? Have an idea for an awesome new feature? We'll talk about what a larger build like this would look like and adjust course accordingly.
For builds that become foundational to a new product or business line, we'll sometimes propose a revenue share or equity stake, instead of or alongside a flat fee. Reserved for projects where we're genuinely betting on the outcome with you.
