What You Get

Every MVP we ship comes loaded with the essential building blocks of a real product. No prototypes, no shortcuts.

Tech Stack

We use a modern, battle-tested stack that lets us move fast without piling up technical debt: React, Next.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Vercel, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript. React is the industry standard for building interactive UIs with a massive ecosystem and component model. Next.js gives us server-side rendering, routing, and API routes out of the box. Supabase provides auth, real-time subscriptions, and storage without managing infrastructure. PostgreSQL scales from your first user to your millionth with JSON support and rock-solid reliability. Stripe handles checkout, subscriptions, and billing so you can start generating revenue the moment you launch. Vercel gives us zero-config deployment with automatic previews for every branch. Tailwind CSS keeps styles consistent and the bundle small. TypeScript catches bugs before they reach your users.

Funded Founders

Our MVPs have helped founders raise real funding rounds. Alex R. from LogisticsAI had their lead investor explicitly compliment the codebase during due diligence. Samantha T. from HealthSync raised $1.2M pre-seed just weeks after launching the MVP we built. David M. from FinTrack launched in exactly 8 weeks with no delays and no budget creep, and their first 1,000 users loved it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I raise funding with this MVP?

Yes. Our MVPs are built on production-grade infrastructure (React, Supabase, AWS/Vercel). Investors will see a scalable, secure product, not a fragile prototype.

Will it scale when we get users?

Absolutely. We do not build throwaway code. The architecture we provide handles tens of thousands of users from day one.

Who owns the code?

You do. 100%. Upon final payment, the entire GitHub repository and intellectual property are transferred to your company.

What if I need changes mid-build?

MVP scopes are locked during Discovery to ensure we hit the 8-week deadline. Any new features requested are cataloged for Phase 2 post-launch.

Do you build for equity instead of cash?

No, DC operates strictly on a cash basis. This guarantees our undivided dedication to shipping your product without complex cap-table negotiations.
