Build

Startups and MVPs

A first product online quickly, to test your idea with real users before investing further.

01Approach

When a product is starting out, the main risk is not technical: it is building something nobody needs. An MVP exists to learn quickly and at low cost. We help you identify the smallest product that can prove your idea, then we build it.

Our role begins before the code: challenging the scope, separating the essential from the nice-to-have, choosing a simple architecture that does not lock you in. A well-designed MVP grows into a product; a sloppy MVP gets rewritten.

You move forward with a complete team (product, design, development) without having to recruit it, and with a technical contact who can explain every choice to your co-founders and to your investors.

Scope of work

02Expertise

Frame and prioritise

Turning a vision into a realistic scope: which hypotheses to test, which features to keep, which to postpone.

Framing workshops and Design Thinking
Prioritised and estimated backlog
Realistic budget and schedule

Prototype and validate

A clickable prototype or a technical POC to put the idea in front of users, remove a technical risk or support a fundraising round.

Interactive prototype in a few days
POC on the critical technical point
Tests with target users

Build and grow

The MVP in production, measured, then extended in short iterations based on real feedback. The team can then grow, or hand over to your first hires.

Development in short sprints
Usage measurement from day one
Skills transfer to your team

04Why iones

A technology partner for your launch

The experience of projects delivered for large companies, with the speed a start-up demands.

Online quickly

A tight scope, short sprints and a team that is operational straight away, to ship a first version without waiting.

The essentials first

We help you say no to the features that can wait, so the budget goes to what proves the value.

Sound foundations

A simple but clean architecture that supports growth and avoids a complete rewrite six months later.

A technical contact

A senior contact who explains the choices, informs your decisions and can support you as a fractional CTO.
