sheet 02 — your path
I have an idea for a product
First we make it real. We might even talk you out of it. Then we build the shortest version that gives you an answer.
First we make it real. Then we build.
The first call may end with "don't build this" — and that's a service too. If the idea holds, we cut it down to a version you can test on real people quickly and cheaply. We've been on your side of the table: our own startup, our own pivots, our own lack of time and money.
Ask:
If you need one, yes. In practice the idea is rarely the valuable part — the execution is.
Will you sign an NDA?

How long does an MVP take?
Weeks. If someone tells you months, they're building the full version and calling it an MVP.
The shortest path to an answer.
Scope on one page. A build that AI makes a fraction of the classic cost. Real users before the pretty version. Code in your repository from day one, so you're never dependent on us.
Money by default. Equity is a separate, deliberate decision.
We work for a fee. Occasionally, selectively, we take a stake — but that's a conscious decision on both sides, not a discount. You'll know the price of the MVP before we start, and what the next step would cost if it works.
Talk?
What you picked is already in the message. No need to repeat yourself or write anything formal.
