SaaS Platform for SMB Operations
A founder came to us with a validated idea and 6 weeks to prove it. We scoped, architected, and shipped a full SaaS MVP — used by 50+ businesses within month one.
The founder had deep domain expertise but lacked a technical co-founder. They needed to validate their SaaS concept before approaching investors.
We ran a 2-day discovery session to define the MVP scope ruthlessly. Cut 60% of the feature wish-list to expose the core value proposition. Selected a Next.js + Supabase stack for velocity without sacrificing quality.
Delivered a fully functional multi-tenant SaaS product: auth, subscription billing via Stripe, core workflow automation, and an analytics dashboard.
API Performance Overhaul — B2B Platform
A growing B2B platform was experiencing 12s+ API response times under load. We redesigned their data layer and query architecture — bringing response times to under 200ms.
As the platform grew past 1,000 active users, API response times degraded severely. The team lacked the senior database and architecture expertise to diagnose root causes.
Started with a full audit of query patterns, indexes, and architecture decisions. Found N+1 query patterns, missing indexes, and synchronous processing where async was needed.
Redesigned the data access layer with proper ORM usage, database-level query optimization, Redis caching for hot paths, and a job queue for heavy async operations.
Pre-Seed Founder Strategy Sprint
A non-technical founder building a marketplace came to us with three competing product ideas and no clear path forward. After a 2-day strategy sprint, they had a single, validated direction.
The founder was spending months going back and forth between features, pivots, and markets. No prioritization framework, no success metrics, no roadmap.
Ran a structured 2-day product strategy workshop. Used Jobs-to-be-Done frameworks, competitive landscape analysis, and a financial model to evaluate each product direction.
Delivered a complete product strategy document: clear ICP (ideal customer profile), MVP feature set, 6-month roadmap, success metrics, and a prioritization matrix.
