From Concept to Working Prototype— In Just Two Weeks.
Have an app idea, an internal tool, or a new digital product? We build you a working prototype in two weeks — with a real backend, real data, and real user feedback. Not a mockup, but a functional application you can test and validate immediately.
MVP for Your SaaS Idea
You want to test a software idea in the market before investing six figures. We build a working MVP with authentication, database, dashboard, and the core features — ready for first users and investor demos.
Internal Tool for Your Team
Your team relies on spreadsheets, manual emails, or outdated processes. We prototype a custom internal tool: forms, dashboards, automated notifications, and role management — ready to deploy immediately.
Customer-Facing App with Real Feedback
You're planning an app for your customers — booking system, self-service portal, or marketplace. We deliver a clickable, functional prototype you can put in front of real users. Validate assumptions before committing to full development.
Proof of Concept for Stakeholders
You need a tangible result to secure budget, partners, or decision-makers. We build a proof of concept that demonstrates the core idea — with real database connections, API integrations, and a professional interface. Not slideware, but software.

Why Prototypes Beat Specifications
Lengthy specification documents become outdated before development even begins. Teams spend weeks in alignment meetings, requirement lists, and concept papers — only to discover that the conditions have already changed. A working prototype in two weeks gives you something tangible: something to test, demonstrate, and iterate on.
The principle behind this comes from the lean startup methodology: Build — Measure — Learn. Instead of investing months in planning, you quickly build a working version, gather real user feedback, and improve with precision. In our blog article on AI prototype development we show how this approach works in practice.
Our Approach: From Kickoff to Working Product in Two Weeks
Week 1: Kickoff workshop, scoping, and design sprint. Together we clarify the target audience, core features, and technical requirements. By the end of the first week, a clear build plan with defined milestones is in place. Week 2: Build sprint, integration, and delivery. We develop with production-grade technologies — not prototyping tools that need to be rebuilt afterwards.
After validation, you can seamlessly evolve the prototype into a full product. Our custom software development builds directly on the prototype — no redevelopment needed. If you want to determine which idea is best suited for prototyping beforehand, our AI consulting provides strategic guidance.
Rapid Prototyping From Hamburg — For Startups and Enterprises
Our team is based in Hamburg and develops prototypes for companies across Germany. We've prototyped SaaS MVPs, internal tools, customer-facing apps, and AI-powered applications — for early-stage startups as well as established mid-sized companies looking to quickly validate innovation projects.
Rapid prototyping isn't just valuable for startups. Established companies also benefit from making new ideas tangible within days — whether it's a new customer portal, an internal automation tool, or an AI-powered process optimization. The prototype becomes a communication instrument that convinces stakeholders and accelerates budget approvals.
MVP, Proof of Concept, or Internal Tool: What's the Difference?
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the smallest meaningful product version for real market validation with actual users. A Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrates the technical feasibility of an approach to stakeholders and decision-makers. An internal tool solves a specific team problem — such as replacing spreadsheets or automating a recurring workflow.
All three variants benefit from rapid prototyping: fast implementation, immediate feedback, minimal risk. The prototype approach is especially worthwhile for AI-powered solutions — in our AI automation service we show how automated workflows are prototyped and iteratively refined.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rapid Prototyping
What does a rapid prototyping project cost?+
The cost for a working prototype typically starts in the low five-figure range as a fixed price. This includes concept, design sprint, development, and delivery. We start with a free initial consultation.
What do I get after two weeks?+
A working prototype with a real backend, real data, and real user flows — not click dummies or wireframes. Depending on the project, an MVP, internal tool, or proof of concept you can test immediately.
Can the prototype be developed into a finished product?+
Yes. Our prototypes are built with production-grade technologies (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase). The code is clean, documented, and designed for further development — not throwaway code.
Who is rapid prototyping suitable for?+
For startups looking to validate an idea. For companies that need internal tools. For decision-makers who want to show stakeholders a working demo instead of a PowerPoint.
What technologies are used?+
We use proven, modern technologies: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, Vercel. The choice is driven by your requirements and the prototype's goal.
Do you only offer rapid prototyping in Hamburg?+
Our team is based in Hamburg, but we prototype for companies across Germany. The kickoff meeting often takes place on-site, with the rest coordinated remotely in daily stand-ups.
