Working with an app development company as a startup

How to get a fundable product out of a fixed budget.

Scope to one loop

Pick the single loop that proves the business and build that well. Everything else is a roadmap item, not a launch item.

Instrument from day one

Analytics and crash reporting in the first build. Without them your iteration is guesswork and your investor updates are anecdotes.

Own the assets

Repo, accounts, infrastructure and designs in your name from the beginning.

Plan the handover

Even if we build it, the code should be readable by the team you hire next. That is a deliberate engineering choice, not a byproduct.
