11 /For technical founders shipping their first SaaS
You have a prototype or a clear vision and a small budget. You do not have eight months. Mahdius ships SaaS v1s the way the best product teams do: thin slice in week two, weekly demos, hardened by week eight, billing live by launch.
What ships
Not a Figma file. Not a "MVP" that needs another quarter of engineering before it can charge. A working product with auth, billing, role-based access, and the operational scaffolding to grow.
What is included
How the build runs
Map users, jobs-to-be-done, monetisation model, constraints. Output: a written architecture decision record.
A working preview deploy you can show to friendly users. We test it with real people before writing production code.
Thin slices shipped weekly. You log into staging from day eight and use it. Friday demos, Monday decisions.
Performance, security, accessibility, error budgets, observability. Billing live. First paying customer in this window.
Two optimisation rounds, optional retainer for engineering velocity. Quarterly product review.
Stack
We pick stacks engineers can hire for and operate without us. No proprietary lock-in. Yours to own, yours to extend.
Questions
Quick brief takes sixty seconds, free reply within one business day.
Occasionally, for projects we are convinced about. Most engagements are cash with a milestone schedule. We will tell you honestly whether we want equity exposure.
Yes. We start with a one-week fixed-cost audit: architecture review, performance profile, security findings, and a written plan with options. You decide how deep to go from there.
Most of our best engagements start that way. The first week is shaping — turning a hunch into a defensible plan. That session is included in the engagement, not billed separately.
Yes. We build on managed, scalable infrastructure that grows from your tenth to your ten-thousandth customer without a rewrite. Premature optimisation kills more startups than slow code; we engineer for the next year, not the next decade.
Yes. The codebase is yours from the moment you make final payment. Push to your own GitHub, deploy to your own Vercel, run it however you want. We hand over with a deployment runbook so you can take over with one engineer if you ever need to.
