Do I need a technical co-founder?
Not to launch. I build the product on standard tools, and the code is yours. When you hire later, any developer can take it over.
Do you build the backend too?
I handle the parts a first release needs, like sign-up, billing and email, on proven services. A custom backend beyond that is scoped and priced in your written quote.
How do you keep the MVP from growing?
The scoping session fixes what’s in the first release, and the price with it. New ideas go on a “later” list, and we pick them up after launch.
Who owns the code and accounts?
You do. Everything lives in your GitHub, Vercel and service accounts from day one.
What happens after launch?
You get 30 days of fixes. After that, you can keep building with the Design engineer on call plan, one request at a time.
