MVP Build · via techlead.fit · EU engineers
From idea to working product. Built right, delivered fast.
We build your MVP with mid-senior European engineers. Defined scope, fast start, full-stack delivery. You get a deployed product with a full handoff. Not a prototype. Not a Figma file.
45 minutes. We scope your build and tell you what it costs and how long it takes.
Why most MVPs fail
The problem is almost never the idea.
It is how the build was managed.
Founders hire the first developer they find. Or go to an agency that quotes low and delivers late. Or go offshore and spend three months in miscommunication. Or hire a full team before scope is clear and watch the budget disappear. The result is always the same: money spent, time lost, a product that does not work the way the business needed it to. In every case, the core problem is the same. Nobody owned the delivery. The developer had no product context. The scope was never precise enough to hold anyone accountable. We solve this differently. Define first. Right team. Delivery responsibility throughout. Full handoff at the end.
What we build
A working, deployed product. Not a demo.
Scope is defined together in the scoping session. We build what lets you test your main assumption, show investors, or start selling.

- →Backend API and database
- →Web frontend (React or Next.js)

- →Payment integration (Stripe or Mollie)
- →DevOps and CI/CD setup
- →IoT device configuration (where applicable)
- →Full handoff: code, access, documentation
- →AI workflow automation
Technology stack
- →PostgreSQL · TimescaleDB · Redis
- →Node.js · Express · REST APIs
- →React · Next.js
- →React Native (iOS and Android)
- →AWS · Azure · Vercel · VPS
- →Stripe · Mollie · Directus CMS
- →Real-time and high-volume data systems
- →Stack adapts to your product
The team
Mid-senior EU engineers.
Not the cheapest.
Deliberately.
The engineers who build your product through techlead.fit are mid-senior professionals based in Europe. They have shipped products in production environments. Every project has a named technical lead reporting to the CTO. One point of contact — not a rotating account team.
| Option | Rate per hour |
|---|---|
| Western EU agencies | €100–€200/h + overhead |
| Offshore teams | €10–€20/h + communication cost |
| techlead.fit | €25–€50/h, mid-senior EU |
How it works
Four steps. Idea to deployed product.
Discovery call – 45 min, free
We talk through your idea, goals, timeline, and budget. We tell you honestly if we are the right fit and what the build will realistically involve. No commitment.
Scoping – 1 to 2 sessions
We define exactly what is in the MVP and what is not. Stack, team, timeline, and price agreed. You get a written project brief before anything starts. No surprises after this.
Build
We start within 24 to 48 hours of agreement. Weekly updates and milestone check-ins. Every major decision documented and explained.
Delivery and handoff
Deployed to your infrastructure. Full codebase, credentials, and documentation handed off to you. We walk you through everything.
In practice
6 weeks from hardware-only to cloud platform.
Military training safety product – ran on a single Android phone via Bluetooth. No cloud. No API. Just a local app.
What we built
- → Cloud backend and scalable API
- → Custom time-series data layer (TimescaleDB)
- → Real-time monitoring
- → Web interface in two languages
Investment
Transparent pricing. No hidden costs.
- ✓Free scoping call to define exactly what is included
- ✓Written project brief before any work starts
- ✓Full-stack delivery: backend, frontend, mobile, DevOps
- ✓Weekly updates and milestone check-ins throughout
- ✓You own the code from day one
- ✓Full handoff: code, infrastructure access, documentation
- ✓Start within 24 hours of agreement
How pricing works: Engineers work at €25–€50/hour depending on seniority and stack. Typical 6-week projects land at €30,000–€40,000 depending on scope. We offer fixed-price or time-and-materials – agreed in the scoping session. Every invoice matches what was agreed.
Common questions
The Technical Audit is the right first step. It gets you to a defined scope before any development money is spent.
The core features that let you test your main assumption — defined together in scoping. We are direct about what fits in six weeks and what does not.
Yes. All code, all infrastructure access, all documentation. From day one. No lock-in.
In most cases yes. Book the scoping call and we confirm immediately. We can start within 24 hours of the signed project brief.
We flag changes early – not at the invoice stage. Any adjustment to budget or timeline is discussed and agreed before it happens.
Fully remote by default. Onsite available for kickoffs or workshops – contact us to discuss.
