Validate your idea with a functional product in 6-8 weeks
We take your idea to real software, ready for real users — not a throwaway prototype. Lean methodology, fixed budget, functional deliverables every 2 weeks and code 100% yours from the first commit.
An MVP (minimum viable product) is the smallest version of your product that already solves the core problem and can be put in the hands of real users.
We prioritize with the MoSCoW method the 20% of features that generate 80% of the value, and in 6-8 weeks we build those core features with architecture that scales, deploy them to production and wire up analytics so you can measure whether the market responds — before investing in the complete product. It is not a clickable mockup or a throwaway demo: it is functional software, with authentication, real deploy, analytics and monitoring, the final product is built on with no rewrites.
The code and configuration are 100% yours from day one.
Six operational reasons, zero adjectives
The code is yours from day one
Repos in your name, documented CI/CD and zero vendor lock-in. If you leave tomorrow, you take it all, running.
WhatsApp API with an official provider
We are a Meta Tech Provider: your WhatsApp Business API line with no middlemen, and chatbots wired to your ERP.
Sprint delivery, CMMI 2 processes
A working demo every two weeks and measurable progress. No "it’s 80% done" without something you can click.
AI applied to your operation
LLM agents, RAG over your data and process automation — the same practice we use to run iTech itself.
Real nearshore: Texas + Monterrey
Legal entity in the U.S. (iTech Corp, Texas), contracts under U.S. law, same CST time zone and USMCA.
ERP with CFDI 4.0 invoicing
We implement Odoo with integrated SAT stamping (PAC), client portal and reconciliation — a full operation, not just software.
When you need it
What it includes
Core features
We prioritize with the MoSCoW method the 20% of features that generate 80% of the value and build only what is essential to validate the hypothesis. The rest goes into a prioritized backlog for later phases — not discarded, deferred with judgment.
Authentication & users
Sign-up, login, password recovery and basic role management from the start, so real people can use the product in production securely, not just see it in a demo.
Product analytics
Event and funnel instrumentation (e.g. with PostHog, Mixpanel or GA4) to measure real behavior: activation, retention and usage of each feature. Without these events, "validating" would be an opinion, not data.
Production deploy
Cloud deployment with automated CI/CD, plus staging and production environments accessible from week one. Every change goes through the pipeline, so the MVP is always in a deployable, demoable state.
Validation metrics
A dashboard with the indicators that matter for your hypothesis (activation, retention, conversion of the key flow), so you decide with data whether to continue, pivot or stop — not by intuition.
Scalable architecture
Built from day one to grow: a modern stack (React/Next.js, Node.js or Python, PostgreSQL), clean layer separation and documented decisions. The MVP is the foundation of the final product, with no shortcuts that force a rewrite once users arrive.
Documentation & handover
A getting-started README, environment variables, data schema and architecture notes, so your team — or any other — can take the code and keep building without depending on us.
How we work
1PrioritizeDeliverablea prioritized backlog, the MVP scope and a closed fixed budget before we start
We identify the features that generate 80% of the value with 20% of the effort (MoSCoW) and lock the scope.
2PrototypeDeliverablean approved navigable prototype
Interactive wireframes of the key flows and validation with real users before writing a single line of code, where fixing costs minutes.
3BuildDeliverablea functional increment deployed to staging and a live demo at the end of each cycle
Iterative development in 2-week sprints with CI/CD, code reviews and testing from day 1.
4LaunchDeliverablethe MVP in production accessible to real users, with its validation dashboard live
Production deployment, analytics instrumentation and monitoring of the key metrics.
5Measure & decideDeliverablea metrics read-out, a recommendation (continue / pivot / stop) and an evolution backlog — plus code that's 100% yours
We accompany the first weeks of real usage, read the data with you and shape the next-step plan.

Contact us →How much does an MVP cost?
It is quoted by scope, but an MVP typically starts from around $10K USD (~$150K MXN). We always work with a fixed budget: a short discovery phase defines the scope and we give you a closed price before development starts — no hourly billing, no ambiguous scope.
How long does it take?
Between 6 and 8 weeks to have a functional product in production, depending on the complexity of the core features. We deliver functionality every 2 weeks with live demos, so you see real progress from week 2 — not a black box.
What happens after the MVP?
The MVP becomes the foundation of the final product, with no rewrites: we use scalable architecture from day one. With real usage metrics you decide whether to keep building, pivot or stop. If you move forward, we evolve the same codebase in 2-week sprints or shift to a dedicated-team model.
How functional is it really?
It is a fully functional product with the core features, in production and ready for real users. It is not a clickable prototype or a demo: it includes authentication, real deploy, analytics and monitoring. The difference with the complete product is scope, not quality.
What does an MVP NOT include?
Whatever is not essential to validate the hypothesis: "nice to have" features, premature optimizations, secondary integrations and rare edge cases go into the prioritized backlog for later phases. That is exactly what keeps the MVP at 6-8 weeks and on a fixed budget. We don't cut quality or security — we cut scope, with judgment and transparently with you.
Do we own the code?
Yes, 100%. All code, documentation, access, repos and environments are yours from the first commit. No vendor lock-in: if tomorrow you want to take the project to another team, you have everything you need without depending on us.
