MVP Development – From Concept to a Testable First Version

An MVP is the smallest version of your product that lets real users complete real tasks. We build it with a tight focus and in a way that lets you keep building on it instead of starting over later.

Short & clear

MVP development means building the first working version of a software product or app – a minimum viable product with only the core features needed to test a business idea with real users. At Nano Concepts, it covers feature selection, prototype, development, launch and a joint evaluation. Lean MVPs start in the Starter package from €2,500; MVPs with user accounts, a database and payment integration start in the Professional package from €8,000. You receive the exact quote after the free initial consultation.

MVP development with Nano Concepts

Anyone who wants an MVP developed wants one thing above all: to find out whether an idea works before the big budget is spent. A minimum viable product contains exactly the features that demonstrate the core value – for example sign-up, the one central function and a simple payment flow. In MVP development, we decide together which assumption your product has to prove, which features that requires and what is deliberately postponed. The result is not a presentation but working software that real users actually use.

01

The most common mistake in MVP projects is scope that is too big. Every additional feature costs time and pushes back the moment you get real feedback. We help you cut – while making sure the foundation holds. We set up the data model, user management and hosting so that the MVP can later grow into a full product. For us, an MVP is therefore not a throwaway prototype but the first stage of your software, on which every later version builds.

02

Whether it is MVP software for business customers, an MVP app for iOS and Android or a first SaaS product, we choose the technology based on how fast you want to learn. A web app or progressive web app is often the fastest route to first users because no app store review is needed. We build in tracking for sign-ups, usage and drop-offs from day one. Together with LOMA DESIGN, we create an interface that is credible enough to win over test customers, pilot partners or investors.

Scope of services

What we deliver for you

The first working version of your software or app – focused on the core features and quickly testable with real users.

Scope workshop & prioritiza­tion

We separate must-have features from nice-to-haves and put the scope of the first version in writing – as the basis for a fixed-price quote.

Clickable prototype

Before the first line of code, you test the flow with potential users and see early on where they get stuck.

Working MVP

A web app, mobile app or SaaS foundation with the core features, user accounts and a database that can grow with you.

Sign-up & payment

On request, we integrate payment providers, subscription logic or waitlists so you do not just ask about willingness to pay but measure it.

Usage tracking & feedback

Privacy-friendly analytics, event tracking and simple feedback features show what users actually do.

Launch & roadmap

We take the MVP live, review the first weeks with you and derive the next development steps from the results.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about MVP development

That depends on which features your idea really needs. Lean MVPs, such as a web tool with one core function, are possible in the Starter package from €2,500. We build MVPs with user accounts, a database, payment integration or a mobile app in the Professional package from €8,000. You receive the exact quote – preferably at a fixed price when the scope is clearly defined – after the free initial consultation.

The goal of an MVP is a fast start, so wherever the scope allows, we plan in weeks rather than months. How long it takes in your case depends on features, interfaces and, for apps, the app store review. You receive a realistic schedule after the scope workshop.

A prototype shows how a product should look and how it should be used – usually without real data. An MVP is already working software: users sign up, complete real tasks and, where applicable, pay. We use the prototype as a preliminary step to de-risk the MVP before development.

For many ideas, a web app or progressive web app is the fastest route because it is reachable instantly via a link, without an app store review. An MVP app for iOS and Android is worthwhile when your product fundamentally needs device features such as the camera, GPS or push notifications. We recommend the route that gets you reliable answers fastest.

We evaluate usage data and feedback together with you and prioritize the next steps. If the idea is confirmed, we gradually expand the MVP into the full product. If adjustments are needed, we change only the parts affected.

We settle source code, usage rights and access transparently in the quote before the project starts. The goal is that you can later continue your product with your own developers or new investors. This does not replace legal advice.
