Software development for startups
You've got the idea, the market and the urgency — what you don't have is six months and a full engineering team. We get startups from idea to a launched, investor-ready product fast, on a price and date agreed up front.
Softgen builds investor-ready MVPs and AI products for startups in weeks — a senior team, fixed price and date, no long hire.
What we solve for you.
You need to launch before the window closes.
A senior team starts now and ships a sharp MVP in 4–8 weeks — not a prototype, a product real users can pay for.
You can't afford a wrong, expensive build.
A short Discovery Sprint pins down the smallest version that proves value, with a fixed price and date before any code is written.
Investors want to see something real.
We build a v1 investors can touch — and architecture that scales into v2, so you're not rebuilding the moment you raise.
Why teams like yours choose us.
- MVP in front of real users in weeks, not quarters
- Fixed price and date — no open-ended day rates
- Built on architecture that scales after you raise
- AI-native: agents, copilots and RAG where they add an edge
- You own all the code, IP and accounts
The packages that fit.
Quick answers.
How much does it cost a startup to build an MVP?
Most production-grade MVPs cost between £24,000 and £90,000, with a focused v1 often around £30,000–£45,000. We start with a short Discovery Sprint (from £4,950) so you get a fixed price and date before committing to the build.
How fast can you launch our startup's product?
A focused MVP typically launches in 4–8 weeks from kickoff, including a 1–2 week discovery. The biggest factor is scope — fewer, sharper features ship far faster.
