How it works?
From idea to live product in clear 3 steps.
01
Strategy call: scope your MVP
45 minutes. We talk through your idea, identify the 2-3 features that will make or break your product, and cut everything else. You leave with a clear scope, timeline, and price, whether you work with us or not.
02
MVP in under 4 weeks
We design and develop your MVP in under 4 weeks. Weekly revision meetings. Daily async updates on Slack. You're never in the dark, you see real progress every week and can give feedback in real time.
03
Launch & scale: get first users
We launch your product with everything you need to be operational and get your first paying customers and attract investors. Then we stick around for 3 weeks, helping you debug, iterate, and define your next steps.

By the designer behind 3 European unicorns.
After 25 years designing products at companies like Pipedrive, Veriff, and Printify, I started Found because I watched too many founders waste €40K and 6 months on MVPs that never shipped. I wanted to bring unicorn-grade design to founders who couldn't afford to wait.

Competitive edge
Why founders choose Found over other agencies
A production-ready MVP in under 4 weeks — not a prototype, not a wireframe, a real product your first customers can use and pay for.
01.
Unicorn-level design, startup budget
The same thinking that shaped Pipedrive, Veriff, and Printify — applied to your product from day one.
02.
Simple & transparent pricing
Fixed budget, fixed timeline. No scope creep, no hourly surprises. You know exactly what you're getting and when.
03.
Early stage expertise
We mentored over hundreds of early-stage startups & founders. We shape your MVP with obsessive focus on your goals.
04.
3 weeks of post-launch support
Product maintenance, bug fixes, and guidance on what to do next to turn your MVP into a money-making machine.
Why pay more and wait longer?
Traditional software development agencies charge €40K+ and take over 3-6+ months. At Found, we believe your MVP should cost a fraction of that price, and launch FAST, so you can focus on getting your first paying customers.

Throughout the process, Cesar and the found.fast team were incredibly proactive. They consistently helped move the project forward, suggested practical improvements, and often came up with better ways to structure things than what we initially had in mind. Even when small issues or fixes came up, Cesar was always very quick to respond and troubleshoot.

Your questions, answered
Get quick answers to the most common questions about our services and outputs.
Is a product built with AI actually production-ready?
In most cases, yes. AI handles the repetitive code while a senior designer handles the decisions that matter — architecture, UX flows, and the details that make users trust your product enough to pay for it. Many of Y Combinator's 2025 cohort shipped codebases that were 90%+ AI-generated. The key is having experienced humans guiding the AI — that's what you get with Found.
I've been burned by an agency before. Why is this different?
Most agencies scope vaguely, bill by the hour, and hand you something that looks like the pitch but breaks under real users. You get a fixed price and timeline before we start, a senior designer who's shipped to millions doing the actual work, and a product built to survive paying customers, not just a demo. And when it's live, I don't disappear. I've taken many founders from MVP to first traction.
Will it actually be good enough to charge for, or just a prototype?
A real product, not a wireframe or a clickable mockup. It ships production-deployed with payments, analytics, and the 2-3 features that make or break your idea, designed well enough that your first users trust it with their money. That's the whole point: an MVP people pay for, not one you apologize for.
What if my idea changes during the build?
Expected. We scope tightly upfront, then run weekly check-ins specifically so we can adjust. Changes that take a traditional agency two weeks take us two days, because AI-powered development moves that fast.
Can I scale it after the MVP, or am I stuck?
You leave with the code, a full Figma design system, and a guided handoff, all built to grow. Take it to your own team, another developer, or keep iterating with us on the Sprint plan. It's yours, no lock-in.
What if 4 weeks isn't enough for my idea?
The strategy call exists to answer this honestly. We cut to the 2-3 features that prove your idea and ship those first. If your scope genuinely needs more, we'll tell you on the call and price it straight, rather than overpromising 4 weeks and missing.
