How the 2-week sprint works

Ten business days, Agile SCRUM, daily standups. You see working software by day 6.

Days 1-2 Discovery & Scoping

Requirements, user stories, and a signed-off backlog. We cut scope to what ships.

Days 3-4 Click-Through Prototype

High-fidelity, click-through prototype. UI design for the core flows.

Days 5-7 Build

Our team builds the application.

Days 8-9 Test & Harden

QA passes, accessibility checks, and security review.

Day 10 Live

Production launch.

The guarantee: if a working MVP isn't in your hands within 10 business days of sprint kickoff, the rest of the project is free.

What's included

  • Full application documentation including requirements, user stories, testing, security and more
  • A high-fidelity, click-through prototype
  • Full test suite
  • A production MVP: web and/or mobile - both deployed live
  • Application hosting, managed database, SSL, nightly backups, uptime monitoring
  • Bug fixes and security patches for the full 16 months

Billed separately at cost: third-party API and vendor fees (payments, SMS, email, mapping, AI usage), app-store fees, and paid design assets. We'll flag every one of these in sprint zero, before you spend anything.

What "you own everything" actually means

At the end of month 16 we transfer, in writing:

  • The private repository with full commit history
  • CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
  • Database, environment configuration, and secrets
  • Source design files and brand assets
  • API and deployment documentation
  • Full IP assignment - no license, no royalty, no revenue share

Want to move off our hosting on day one of ownership? We'll help you migrate at no charge.

Who this is for

Lease-to-Own is by application only. We take a limited number of sprints per quarter so we deliver on time and on scope.

You're a fit if
  • You have revenue or funding and a real business problem to solve
  • A decision-maker can sign-off same-day
  • The first version is scopeable to 10 business days
  • You can fund the $10,000 deposit at kickoff
Probably not yet if
  • You need a full enterprise platform in version one
  • Requirements are still being decided by committee
  • You want to keep the code but not the monthly commitment
  • You'd rather build it yourself - try the MVP DIY Challenge
  • You have grant or contract funding pending - see MVP For Nonprofits: Pay When Funded

The fine print, up front

Exactly what hosting covers

Application and database hosting on managed cloud infrastructure, SSL certificates, nightly encrypted backups with 30-day retention, uptime and error monitoring, and a staging environment. We pay a maximum $150 per month in hosting cost. Billed separately at cost: third-party API and vendor fees (payments, SMS, email, mapping, AI usage), app-store fees, and paid design assets.

When do I actually own the code?

On receipt of the final monthly payment. Ownership transfers by written IP assignment within five business days: repository, pipelines, infrastructure definitions, data, design files, and documentation. Until then you hold a paid-up licence to use the software in your business, and your data is yours at all times.

Cancellation terms

Cancel any month with 30 days' written notice - no termination fee. We deliver a full export of your database, uploaded files, and content within five business days, in open formats. Payments already made are non-refundable, and code ownership transfers only when the lease is paid in full. Restart later and every dollar you've paid still counts toward the $50,000.

How the application works

A short form, then a 30-minute interview call. We're deciding one thing together: can this ship in 10 business days? If yes, you get a fixed sprint date and a simple agreement. If no, we'll tell you what to cut - or point you to a better-fitting service. No cost either way.

Thanks to TMG, we have breathed new life into and have expanded the use of our Infor Distribution A+ setup. We are now able to do things such as create our own Magento storefront and sync it with our A+ database.
