A first release built to last
We help founders turn a product idea into a working first release — scoped honestly, built on production-minded architecture, and shipped fast enough to get real feedback. An MVP is not a throwaway prototype here: it is the foundation your product keeps building on after launch.
Who this is for
- Startup founders validating a new product idea
- Companies launching a new digital product
- Teams replacing a prototype with a production-ready MVP
- Founders deciding between mobile, web, SaaS, or AI for a first release
Problems we solve
- Unclear first-release scope that keeps expanding before launch
- Platform and stack decisions made without a production path in mind
- Auth, data, and backend choices that block launch or scale
- No plan for analytics or feedback once real users arrive
Deliverables
- Product scoping and a phased first-release plan
- UI and product implementation for the core journeys
- React Native mobile or Next.js web build, depending on your product
- Supabase or Firebase backend, auth, and API integration
- Payments or notifications when the MVP scope requires them
- Deployment, release prep, and a plan for what comes after launch

- Do you build mobile and web MVPs?
- Yes. Depending on your product, we build with React Native / Expo for mobile, Next.js for web, and Supabase or Firebase for the backend.
- Can Codeles continue development after the MVP?
