As an MVP development company, Eastern Peak helps founders and product teams get something real in front of real users without spending a year finding out whether it works. Whether you are comparing an MVP development agency against hiring in-house, the question is the same: what will exist in three months, what will it cost, and who owns it.
An MVP with us is not a demo held together with tape. It is the smallest version of your product that a paying customer can actually use, built on foundations that will not have to be thrown away when version two arrives.
What We Deliver
About two weeks that turn an idea into an interactive prototype and a written specification with a per-feature estimate. You leave with something you can show investors and customers, and a scope that can be priced.
Web and mobile, built by senior engineers who have shipped products since 2012. Fixed scope, fixed price, a working version in weeks rather than quarters.
We use AI where it genuinely saves time: scaffolding, test coverage, data migrations, documentation. A first version that would have been a six-month project a couple of years ago is now about a month of build, and that saving lands in your fixed price, not in our margin. Architecture, security and the parts that break in production stay with senior engineers.
Real users always change the plan. We stay on to fix, measure and extend, or hand everything over to your own team with the documentation to run it.
Why Founders and Product Teams Choose Eastern Peak
A price you can plan around
Discovery ends with a written scope and a fixed price for the build, paid half upfront and half at a milestone in the middle. No open-ended hourly meter, no surprise invoice halfway through.
One senior team, start to finish
The people in your kickoff call are the people who build the product. Your project is not handed on to another agency, and Eastern Peak takes about 5% of the engineers it interviews.
You own everything
Work-for-hire, full repository access from day one, and an NDA before you tell us anything. If you want to move the product in-house after launch, nothing stops you.
How We Keep an MVP Honest
Everything agreed is in a specification with per-feature estimates, so “we thought that was included” never becomes an argument. It is also a document your own procurement or security people can review before anything starts.
We cut features, not foundations. The database design, the deployment setup and the security basics are done properly, because rewriting those is what actually kills version two.
Generated code goes through the same review, testing and security checks as anything else. The speed comes from removing repetitive work, not from shipping code nobody read, which is why we can quote a shorter build without quoting a thinner product.
Analytics and error tracking from launch day, so what to build next comes from what users did, not from what the loudest person in the room believes.
What We Build With
For a first version we usually default to React and Node or Python on AWS, because it gets you to users fastest. In discovery we tell you why, and what we would use instead if your case calls for it.

Products We Built From Version One
A marketplace for booking verified ski and snowboard instructors across Europe, built from nothing: instructor profiles and verification, search, messaging before booking, and online payment.
The reporting platform city governments across the EU use to set emissions baselines, plan reductions over ten to twenty years, and report progress. Built from scratch, discovery through launch, and still in service.
We also built the Gett taxi platform from the ground up, and we still maintain systems we delivered years ago for Soho House, DPD Group and Bizzabo. Version one is where teams get stuck, because the shortcuts show up in version two, and maintaining our own work for a decade is what keeps us honest about the foundations we lay in an MVP.
Since 2012, Turning First Versions Into Real Products
Since 2012 we have built first versions and full platforms for startups and for enterprise teams launching something outside their core. Direct client references are available on request.

Your Roadmap
Discovery
Weeks 1-2. User flows, a clickable prototype and a written specification with a per-feature estimate, so the build can be scoped to your budget.
Design and build
Weeks 3-6. The screens and flows your users will see, agreed before anyone writes production code, then about a month of build in two-week sprints, each ending with a working demo.
Launch
Week 6. Release, handover, analytics in place, and a prioritised list of what the first real users tell you to build next.
After launch
Ongoing. We stay on to fix and extend, move to a smaller support arrangement, or hand over to your own team with the documentation to run it.
About six weeks from kickoff to a first version, depending on scope. You approve the scope and the price before the build starts, and you own the code from the first commit.
Tell Us What You Want to Launch
Send us the idea in a paragraph. We come back with the features we would build first, what we would leave out of version one, and how long it would take. Free, and yours to take to any team.
FAQs on MVP Development
1. How much does an MVP cost?
It depends on scope, which is exactly why discovery comes first. You leave discovery with a written specification, a per-feature estimate and a fixed price for the build, and you are free to take that specification to another team.
2. How long does an MVP take?
Discovery takes about two weeks, then design and build take about a month, so a first version lands roughly six weeks from kickoff. The same first version was a six-month project a couple of years ago. If a date matters more than a feature list, we scope to the date.
3. What is AI MVP development?
It means using AI to speed up the parts of building software that are repetitive: scaffolding, tests, migrations, documentation. That is why a first version now takes about a month to build instead of half a year, and why the same budget buys more of your feature list than it did two years ago. It does not mean an AI writes your product: architecture, security and anything users touch is written and reviewed by senior engineers, and it all ships through the same review and testing process.
4. Do we own the code and the IP?
Yes. Work-for-hire, full repository access from day one, no lock-in and no platform fee.
5. What happens after launch?
Whatever you need. We can stay on to fix and extend, move to a smaller support arrangement, or hand over to your own team with documentation and a walkthrough.
6. Can you take over an MVP someone else started?
Yes, and it is a common request. We start with a short technical review that tells you honestly what is worth keeping and what will cost more to patch than to rebuild.
Client Testimonials
REVIEWS
We wanted to enhance our shipping solutions by migrating our desktop-based platform and its users to a new web application. Good KPIs met our expectations, generating plans for future collaboration with Eastern Peak.
interview on Clutch
We had a development challenge, as well as a business one. We needed quality people quickly, so we decided to approach Eastern Peak. The results were excellent and we were able to exploit the full potential of the IoT.
interview on Clutch
Eastern Peak assumed responsibility for their results and never tried to deflect it. They stood behind their promises and were very pragmatic. We have received input on app development as well as on our general business model, which helped a lot.
interview on Clutch
We needed to find people who were experienced specifically with startup schedules. Most of the people I’ve worked with had experience of five or six startups, and they’re in their mid-20s. These guys have a good reputation, and I just got very lucky to work with them.
interview on Clutch
They gave me the knowledge, expertise, and experience I needed to launch everything from the beginning and to support it further. They’re like a partner in terms of thinking and creating new concepts, new features, and new ideas.
