MVP development services

A recent survey by GoodFirms found that 91.3% of businesses had launched products using the MVP approach. 81.6% stated it helped test the feasibility of their ideas, and 78.3% used it to evaluate market demand. MVPs are for sure an effective method for validating product ideas and assessing viability before full-scale development.

Bamboo Agile is a renowned bespoke MVP development company and a trusted partner to both startups and large enterprises since 2002. We design scalable and robust software systems, so you won’t have to re-engineer them once the brand takes off.

Service prices are quoted based on your individual needs and can be adjusted to meet any functional or budgeting goals.

Innovation workshops & MVP consulting

What you get: a scoped product plan, prioritized feature list, and low-fidelity prototypes you can hand straight to a dev team.

Before anything gets built, we run structured workshops with the client team to turn business context and market data into a scoped, workable product plan. We define the main goals together, agree which features actually belong in the first version, and sketch low-fidelity prototypes so everyone’s picturing the same product.

Market research

What you get: a competitor and user analysis, and a ranked list of which features belong in the MVP versus a later release.

Our product consultants look at your competitors, talk to potential users, and dig into the pain points that actually drive buying decisions, combining desk research with a series of interviews. What comes out of it is a straight answer on whether the idea is worth pursuing, and which features earn a place in the MVP versus a later release.

End-to-end MVP development

What you get: a launched product, covering design, working code, QA, and any third-party integrations it needs, delivered by one team.

One team handles the whole process: idea conceptualization, product design, development, testing and QA, third-party integrations, and release. You’re not coordinating between separate vendors or re-explaining context every time something changes hands.

MVP modernization

What you get: an audit report of your current code and architecture, followed by a refactored or rebuilt version of the parts that need it.

If you already have an MVP that’s outgrown its first version, or legacy software that needs rethinking, we can take that over rather than starting from scratch. We start with a code and architecture audit to see what’s actually there, then refactor or rebuild the parts that are holding the product back.

Engagement models

There are three ways to structure the work, and the right one usually comes down to how fixed your scope is and how much budget certainty you need going in.

Time & materials (T&M)

You’re billed for the work actually done, tracked by hours or sprints.

Fixed price

Scope, timeline, and budget are agreed before work starts, and none of them move.

Dedicated team

A team of developers, QA, and a project lead works exclusively on your product for the length of the engagement.

Bringing you quality on all stages of software development

We offer complete development process from the initial requirement analysis to the launch. Our developers provide your product with the altered features it needs to succeed in the market. From advanced business analysis and professional software design to app publishing, our company will make sure the product is stable and properly designed.

Business analysis

We identify your target audience and goals before proposing our plan for furthering your app’s functionality and technology. Once our product teams feel like they have a clear understanding of your business’ goals, we create an outline for your software with that base. We’ll wait for you to approve it before starting on your software.

UI/UX prototyping and design

Our developers create intuitive and customer-friendly UI/UX interfaces for your MVP app. We’ve perfected that process thanks to advanced MVP prototyping and design technology.

MVP software development

Our dev team will work to help bring your concept to life with maximum value for your business without sacrificing essential things like security and usability.

Quality assurance

Our professional QA engineers use manual and automation testing methods to help ensure that your MVP solution meets all standards and works flawlessly across different devices.

Product demo

To take the right step towards successful product delivery, get continuous feedback from the Product Owner, and rapidly react to changes, we support product testing and fast MVP creation by weekly or bi-weekly demo sessions with the product team.

Release of the MVP project

Once you’ve approved the final product, our team helps you deploy the project or create and configure accounts in app stores, so you can get ready to publish and promote your application launch.

What you get with our MVP development services

MVP is the fastest, cheapest way to prove your idea works before you commit a real budget to it. Here’s what you walk away with.

Investor-ready product

By the time the MVP is done, you have something you can put in front of an investor and let them click through it. The code and documentation are built so they hold up if someone technical looks under the hood during due diligence.

Real market validation

The product goes live to real users, and that’s where the useful information comes from. You’ll see what people actually use, what they skip, and whether they’d pay for it. That’s worth more than any amount of internal debate about what the product should be.

Early revenue opportunities

Because the codebase is written to production standard from the start, therefore it can start earning revenue as soon as the idea is validated. There’s no separate rebuild phase before the product is fit to sell.

Foundation for scaling

The architecture is layered and built on cloud infrastructure that scales with demand. If the MVP takes off, the team doesn’t have to stop and rebuild the foundation before it can grow. That work already happened.

Case studies

We have years of experience in providing MVP app development services for startups and large businesses alike. Take a look at some project examples.

Social

A social prediction game built and launched in 3 months

The team built a custom algorithm that simulates matches on the backend, so QA didn’t have to wait on real players to find the bugs. Scope stayed to core gameplay, social features, and an AWS backend. Kickoff to launch: 3 months, 12-person team.

Social

An MVP for a CS:GO ranking app, validated with real players

Built as an MVP from the start, which meant one part couldn’t be cut: the ranking had to update in real time, pulled live from three separate APIs at once, Steam, Google Places, and OpenStreetMap. Beta reached players after 4 months of development.

Education

6 months to build a school management MVP

Bamboo Agile built School OS from scratch after research into the needs of modern schools. The initial release covered the core workflows for parents, teachers, and school administrators, with grades, attendance, schedules, homework, and teacher notes available across web and mobile.

Education

A sex education app launched as an iOS MVP in 4 months

A mobile MVP for teens combines expert-led courses, videos, articles, and anonymous stories with professional advice. The app was built for iOS, with Bamboo handling the backend, API integrations, CMS setup, and launch. The app reached the App Store after 4 months with a 4-person team.

Finance

A payment platform MVP that helped win the first customers

We built the first version around two core modules, Onboarding and Verify, so the client could bring the product to its first customers without waiting for the full platform. More modules came later based on what those customers needed.

Why choose our MVP developers

Make sure you get a reliable partner to see your MVP through to the end. At Bamboo Agile, we follow basic principles that help us ensure our clients are receiving top-notch service and quality results they can be proud of.

ISO 27001-certified processes

Our information security processes are certified to ISO 27001. That’s an external audit and it matters if your product handles user data or if an investor’s technical review checks for it.

Investor-friendly documentation

Every MVP we deliver comes with technical documentation and an architecture overview written the way a technical due diligence team expects to see it. If a term sheet depends on someone reviewing the codebase, that review doesn’t stall on missing documentation.

Pricing that fits an MVP budget

We work on time and materials or fixed price, and either way the engagement is scoped for what an early-stage budget can actually carry. We’re not pricing this the way we’d price a project for an enterprise client with a much bigger budget and a much longer runway.

Full IP ownership

The code, the designs, and the documentation belong to you. There’s no license to negotiate later and nothing to untangle if you bring in a different team down the line.

In-house MVP consultants

Before development starts, our product consultants, people who’ve taken MVPs from a first conversation through to launch, help figure out what actually needs to be tested first. That’s often a different, smaller list than what the founder originally had in mind, and getting it right early saves months later.

Proven experience

Bamboo Agile developers have at least five years of experience and are therefore able to deliver outstanding solutions in a quick amount of time. We will help you overcome startup challenges by employing our experience in MVP and creating the perfect custom product

FAQ

What is MVP?

An MVP (minimum viable product) is a version of the product with minimal core features built to attract first users. It’s a fast and affordable way to get real user feedback and see if there is a market demand for your software concept.

Why should startups consider MVP?

An MVP solves the common startup problem of financing, since it costs very little to create and deploy. You can build an audience and get revenue from early sales, which will let you grow the project without completely relying on outside help.

Why start with an MVP instead of a full-featured product?

An MVP helps startups penetrate the market and quickly adapt to it before their competitors roll out similar full-featured solutions.

Why outsource the development of my MVP?

Outsourcing is usually a cost-effective solution. It lets you rely on a well-established team with industry connections. This is especially valuable if you’ve never developed an MVP before, as you would need all the expert advice you can get.

I began working with a different vendor, but want to switch over to you. Is it possible?

Of course! Bamboo Agile is experienced in working with legacy code and can guarantee a smooth and easy transition.

I don’t know much about tech, will I be able to understand what’s going on?

Our project managers convey all information in a very digestible, easy-to-understand manner. So even if you don’t have a tech background, you’ll have no problem participating in discussions.

What are some well-known MVP examples?

Unsplash, Airbnb, Virgin Air, and many others had their start as MVPs, but gradually expanded into the massive businesses we know today.

What makes a good MVP?

A good MVP evolves past its MVP status. It grows to become a fully-fledged product that has a dedicated user base and a rich array of features.
