Your runway is shrinking. Your dev timeline isn't.
Whether you're managing five vendors who won't talk to each other, or you're a team of one holding together a marketing program that was built for three — the problem is the same. No one owns the system. Firedog does.
The standard dev engagement is designed to spend your money. Not prove your idea.
Most founders get burned the same way. They hire a dev shop, the scope grows, the timeline stretches, and six months later they're out of budget with a half-built product nobody has tested.
Any dev shop can build your MVP. We build it inside a system designed to make it succeed.
The MVP Sprint is built around one principle: prove the concept before you build the platform.
We focus on what validates the idea — the core feature set that gets you in front of prospects or investors with something they can actually use. Everything else waits until the idea is proven.
Whether you have a fully defined spec or just a strong concept, we start with discovery. What gets built is built for the right reasons, in the right order, in 30 days.
Startups aren't the only ones who need this.
You don't have to be pitching investors to need an MVP. Established businesses have MVP-sized problems every day. They just don't call them that.
A sales team running follow-up out of a spreadsheet. A franchise operator with no consistent way to manage content across locations. A multi-location business reconciling leads by hand.
These operational gaps cost money every week. And fixing them doesn't need a six-month engagement. Just 30 days, at a fixed price, with a team that knows how to build fast.
Any dev shop can hand you a working app. We build yours inside a strategy, technology, and marketing system designed to make it perform. That's not something a dev shop offers. It's what makes Firedog different.
Sales follow-up running out of a spreadsheet
Every lead that falls through the cracks is revenue you earned and didn't capture.
Franchise with no consistent content management
Every location doing its own thing means your brand looks different everywhere it shows up.
Multi-location business reconciling leads by hand
Manual processes don't scale. They just get more expensive as you grow.
Team using five tools that don't talk to each other
If the problem is costing you more than $4,995 a year — and it almost certainly is — the MVP Sprint fixes it in 30 days.
Startups aren't the only ones who need this.
You need something proven to show users or investors. You've been burned by dev timelines that never end, and you want a fixed price with no scope surprises. You're ready to move in the next 30 days.
This isn't for you if:
- You need a fully-featured platform from day one
- You're still figuring out what problem you're solving
- You need mobile iOS/Android — that's a separate engagement
- You're not ready to make decisions quickly
You're running a business with a real problem your team is solving the wrong way. Spreadsheets doing the job of software. Manual processes eating hours every week. A workflow nobody built because everyone assumed it was too expensive or too slow. It's not.
This is for you if:
- You have an operational gap that's costing time or money
- You need a custom dashboard, portal, or workflow tool
- You're tired of working around tools that don't quite fit
- You want a fixed scope, fixed price, no six-month engagement
Everything you need to validate. Nothing you don't.
Focused Feature Prioritization
We build only what proves the concept. No feature creep. No "while we're in there" additions. The scope is locked and the sprint stays on track.
AI-Accelerated Development
We move faster without sacrificing quality, using AI-assisted development where it speeds things up and custom engineering where it matters.
Custom Code Refinement
Engineering where it counts. Not a no-code tool dressed up as a product. Actual custom code built to be iterated on after the sprint.
Structured 30-Day Sprint
Clear milestones. No drift. You know what's happening every week and exactly what you'll have at the end. The timeline doesn't move.
Deployment-Ready Product
Launch-ready at the end of the sprint. Not a prototype, not a mockup — a working product you can put in front of real users or walk into a pitch with.
Next Phase Roadmap
The sprint ends with a clear picture of what to build next. When the idea is validated, you have a roadmap ready and a team that already knows your product.
Four steps. Thirty days. Working product.
Clarify use case, user flow, and core features. We align on exactly what gets built before a single line of code is written.
AI-accelerated build with focused engineering. We move fast on the core and apply custom engineering where precision matters.
Iterate quickly during the sprint window. We test, fix, and tighten so what ships is something you can stand behind.
Deploy and prepare for next-phase growth. You leave with a working product, a deployment plan, and a clear path forward.
One sprint. One price. One working product.
What you see is what you pay. What we scope is what we build.
This isn't for you if:
- You need a fully-featured platform from day one
- You're still figuring out what problem you're solving
- You need mobile iOS/Android — that's a separate engagement
- You're not ready to make decisions quickly
