MVP Development Services
From concept to launch in 8-12 weeks. Build lean, production-ready software that gets your product in front of real users fast.
What is an MVP and Why Does It Matter?
A Minimum Viable Product is the fastest path from idea to validated product. It is a deliberate, focused release that tests your core assumption with real users before you commit the full budget.
Most startups fail not because they build the wrong thing badly, but because they build the wrong thing well. An MVP forces the right question early: does this solve a real problem for real people?
- ✓Validate your idea before spending the full budget
- ✓Get working software in front of real users in 8-12 weeks
- ✓Reduce development risk with real-world feedback early
- ✓Build only what your users actually need
- ✓Attract investors with a working product not a pitch deck

Why Choose Lycore for MVP Development?
We have been building software for over 20 years. Here is what that means for your project.
MVP Strategy Expertise
We have scoped and delivered MVPs across dozens of industries. We know what to cut, what to keep, and what order to build in. That experience saves you weeks of expensive mistakes.
Senior Engineers Throughout
Your MVP is built by experienced developers, not managed by a senior while juniors do the work. The engineers writing your code are the same people in your meetings.
You Own Everything
All intellectual property, source code, and infrastructure is yours from day one. No licensing fees, no proprietary frameworks, no lock-in of any kind.
Fixed Price, No Surprises
We give you a fixed price after discovery. No scope changes without your explicit approval. No surprise invoices at the end of the project.
Built to Scale
We build MVPs on architectures designed to handle growth. When you get traction, you should not need to rewrite your product from scratch.
We Stay After Launch
We run a two-week hypercare period on every project. Most clients continue with us for post-launch iteration. We do not ship and disappear.
Your assets belong to you, always
When we build your MVP, everything created belongs to you in full — from the first line of code to the final deployment. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no proprietary frameworks you cannot escape from.
This is not a policy we offer as a premium tier. It is standard in every engagement we take on, and it is not something we negotiate on.
Who owns the source code?
You do. All source code written during the engagement is assigned to you in full at the point it is written. You have access to the repository from day one. We retain zero rights to any code, component, or library created specifically for your project.
Who owns the designs and assets?
Every design file, wireframe, high-fidelity screen, exported asset, and brand element created during the project belongs to you. You receive the original source files in formats you can open and edit without us.
What happens to infrastructure and credentials?
All cloud accounts, domain registrations, SSL certificates, third-party API keys, and deployment credentials are created in your name or transferred to you at project completion. We do not hold anything back without your explicit ongoing permission.
What if we want to switch development teams later?
We make that straightforward by design. Every project includes full technical documentation, architecture diagrams, deployment runbooks, and environment setup guides. A competent development team can pick up where we left off without needing us to explain anything.
Is this covered in the contract?
Yes. Our standard contract includes a full IP assignment clause transferring all rights to you. It covers code, designs, documentation, and any other deliverables produced during the engagement.
Budget-Friendly MVP Development Models
We structure our engagements to match your situation. No one-size-fits-all contracts.
Fixed Price
Recommended for projects with a well-defined scope where the cost is clearly anchored. How you benefit:
- Predictable Budgeting — You pay a fixed amount agreed upfront. No hidden charges, no surprise invoices.
- Minimal Oversight Required — We take full responsibility for organising the project and timeline.
- Clear Scope and Milestones — Predefined milestones make it easy to track progress throughout.
- Lower Financial Risk — Budget certainty from day one for founders with a fixed runway.
Time and Material (T&M)
Higher flexibility for projects where requirements are likely to evolve. How you benefit:
- Adaptable Resource Allocation — Scale resources up or down as the project evolves.
- Transparent Cost Structure — You see exactly where every hour goes. No hidden fees.
- Flexible Scope Changes — Requirements can change between sprints without renegotiating.
- Ideal for Evolving Products — Perfect when you expect to learn from early users mid-build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MVP development answered below. Don't see yours? Reach out and we'll be happy to help.
How much does an MVP cost?
A focused web or mobile MVP typically costs between USD 7,000 and USD 25,000 depending on complexity, integrations, and user roles. We give you a fixed price after the discovery phase. Anyone quoting you a fixed price without a proper discovery session is guessing.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Eight to twelve weeks is our standard range for a well-scoped MVP. The biggest variable is the clarity of requirements at the start — unclear requirements add weeks, not days.
Can you build an MVP if we only have a concept?
Yes. Most MVP clients come to us with a concept, a problem statement, and rough wireframes. We need clarity on who the target user is and what core problem the product solves. The feature list is something we work out together in discovery.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do, completely. All intellectual property is assigned to you in full. We retain no rights to the codebase, designs, or documentation. You get full access to the repository from day one.
What happens after the MVP launches?
We run a two-week hypercare period after every launch. After that, most clients continue with us on a sprint-by-sprint retainer for iteration based on real user feedback.
Do you work with first-time founders?
Yes, frequently. What we ask in return is honesty about your constraints — budget, timeline, technical knowledge — so we can give you advice that fits your actual situation.
