From pitch deck to paying customers in eight weeks

8 weeks to launch

Northwind's founders had funding, a validated problem and no product. They needed an MVP fast — without building something they'd throw away.

01The problem

The founding team had promised investors a working product within a quarter. Hiring an in-house team would take months they didn't have, and previous agency quotes came back with six-month timelines and fixed scopes that left no room to learn from users.

02Our approach

We ran a one-week discovery to cut the backlog to a true minimum, then shipped working software every Friday. The founders demoed the product to prospects from week three, and what they heard reshaped the roadmap twice before launch — without blowing the timeline.
