From idea to launch

We help you choose what to build, what to prove first, and which path gets you to a useful product without paying for the wrong version.

1
01

Define the first useful version

We turn the idea, half-built app, or business brief into a sharp first release: the core user journey, the must-have features, and the work that can wait.

2
02

Choose the right route

Launch site, clickable prototype, web app, or native iOS and Android? We compare the options, platform trade-offs, and existing tools before recommending the route.

3
03

Make the solution tangible

We map the flows, design the key screens, and build against real scenarios. You see the product working on your phone or browser while decisions are still easy to change.

4
04

Launch with room to grow

We ship the working version, connect the accounts, and hand over the code and keys. You leave with a live product, plus a clear next move based on what users do.

Most founders end up coordinating across agencies, independent specialists, and distributed teams before a product is ready. I built this studio to bring those moving parts into one accountable partnership. One owns the design, the code, the QA, and the deadline. You know who to call, and that person has the full context, so every decision moves your product forward.

Direct access
One person, full context

Speak directly with the person making decisions, not an account manager passing messages.

Live decisions
Feedback while it is easy

See working previews, respond quickly, and fix issues before they become expensive.

Your foundation
Nothing held hostage

Your code, accounts, and assets stay yours, whether you continue with me or bring in a team.

Room to grow
Scale with support

When your product outgrows one builder, a trusted partner path helps you scale without starting over.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing, timelines, and what each route lets you do next.

How much does it cost to work with Start Apps Studio?

The public path has four routes: a $2,600 Launch Site for a credible story before the full product, a $6,000 Prototype to make the idea tangible for validation or fundraising, an MVP from $15,000 to $30,000 to put a real product in users' hands, and Custom from $25,000 or monthly retainer for a bespoke system. We agree on scope and price before work starts, so you know the investment behind the next milestone.

How long does it take to ship an MVP?

The MVP route typically ships in 3 to 8 weeks from kickoff, depending on scope. Launch Sites are typically delivered in 3 to 5 business days and Prototypes in 5 to 10 days. We work in tight weekly cycles with shared previews, so you can make the next decision from what you see rather than waiting until the end.

What is included in an MVP build?

An MVP gives you the core product to learn from with real users: product design, a working iOS, Android, or web app, authentication, a database, payments where relevant, deployment to your accounts, and a basic landing page. You get the source code, a written handoff doc, and a walkthrough so a future team can pick up the next stage.

Who owns the code, designs, and accounts?

You do. All source code, design files, and third-party accounts (App Store, Google Play, hosting, database, payments) are created in your name and transferred to you. There is no lock-in to Start Apps Studio. You can keep building with us, take it to another team, or hire in-house.

What happens after launch? Do you offer ongoing support?

Every build includes a 2-week post-launch window where we fix anything broken on us, free of charge. After that, you can run with the codebase, bring in an in-house engineer, or keep us accountable for the next stage through a monthly retainer. For larger or more complex products, Custom engagements can be structured around the 1–6 month build you need.

Can you take over an existing project or vibe-coded prototype?

Yes. We frequently take over half-built apps from Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, or freelance teams. We start with a short paid audit, give you an honest read on what is salvageable, and either rebuild the weak parts or finish the MVP. Either way, you walk away with a clean, shippable codebase you actually own.
