First-time founders

    A development team for your first software product.

    For founders ready to commission an app or web platform. We define the users and core workflow, design the screens, develop the first release and hand over the source code. You do not need an in-house development team to begin.

    Plan your first release

    Practical guides to building an MVP.

    Work through your budget, timeline, features and platform choice. Then discuss the development requirements for your app or platform.

    § Is this right for me?

    Real questions

    What if my idea is too small?

    A focused app can be a suitable first release. We review who will use it, the workflow it needs to support and whether a custom build is appropriate.

    What if I'm not ready to commit?

    Use the initial conversation to assess whether FLUIDS is the right development partner. Development begins after you accept the project proposal.

    § FAQ

    Common questions

    Will you sign an NDA before I share my idea?

    Yes — happy to. Just request it before the call.

    Do I need to know what features I want?

    No. Most idea-stage founders don't. Our job in discovery is to help you choose them.

    How do we start?

    We review the users, requirements and integrations, then provide a software development proposal.
