No guesswork. No haggling. Just impressive work, lightning fast.
Sounds familiar?
You’re 6 months in, £60k down and still nothing is live?
Developer-first means design-last
Engineers get a brief, write the code, and design is bolted on at the end. If at all. The experience drifts from the brief. The result looks wrong and works worse.
The agency route
Three months of discovery phases, wireframes, and “phase one” presentations. You still don't have working software; your runway keeps burning.
The offshore gamble
Cheap per hour, expensive in reality. Time zone friction, management overhead, re-work cycles. The code works but the experience is unusable and now you are six months in.
Three situations. Same answer.
Stuck Founder
You’ve got the idea. You can’t get it built.
Your technical co-founder fell through. Every agency quotes three months and £60k. Every developer you hire turns out to be a gamble. You've got an investor meeting in six weeks and nothing to demo but a deck
Maxed-out product team
Roadmap is full. This project can’t wait
You've got a feature that keeps getting bumped to the next quarter. The board wants it. Your team can't spare the cycles. Budget expires at quarter end. You need external velocity without derailing the core product
Innovation
Internal IT takes six months. You’ve got six weeks
You need to prove a concept before you can get budget for the full build. A working demo beats a slide deck every time. The C-Suite wants evidence not estimates. Use it or lose it: budget can't wait for procurement cycles
Zero to one in a week.
Everybody talks about zero-to-one like it takes a year and a million pounds.
It doesn't. It takes focus, taste, and five days of building without distraction.
The V1 Sprint is a fixed-price, fixed-timeline engagement. You bring the idea. It could be a sketch on the back of an envelope, validated designs from a UX Sprint, or just a clear problem you need solved. We spend half a day scoping it together. Then we build it, Monday to Friday.
Every evening you get a working URL. Not a mockup. Not a progress report. A thing you can click, tap, and test. Friday afternoon, you own the code, the documentation, and a deployed product.
It's like hiring a cabinetmaker. You describe what you need. They build it. You take it home.
No committee. No six-month timeline. Just the thing you asked for.
V1. Not MVP
Minimum. Viable. Two words that tell you to aim low. Ship something rough, see if anyone squints hard enough to imagine the finished thing, call that validation.
It isn't. You can't hand someone a slice of a product and expect them to evaluate the whole pie. Products are systems. They only work when the pieces connect.
We don't build to test. We build to ship.
A V1 is small on purpose — not because you cut corners, but because you chose what matters. Everything in it works properly. Feels considered. Belongs there. It's half a product, not a half-assed product.
That's what our V1 Sprint delivers. Five days. Working software. Deployed, live, yours. Not a prototype to gather feedback on — a product to launch.
Make it count
What is a 5-day V1 Sprint
V1 Sprints are the fastest way to turn ideas into working products. Build and deploy an V1, ship new features, or bring validated designs to life with code.
Five days, a fixed price, an agreed start and end date.

From idea to live product. One week.
The V1 Sprint is a fixed-price, fixed-timeline engagement that takes a concept, idea or validated design and delivers deployed, working software in five days. Not a prototype. Not wireframes, not a roadmap. Not even an MVP. The first version of production-ready code that users can use.
