How we blend AI speed and human expertise to take you from idea to live MVP in under a week—step by step.

👋 Hi Dev.to! I’m the founder of StartupFoundry.dev—where we help non‑technical makers and solo founders go from “I have an idea” to a live MVP in days, not months.

📋 The Problem

Too many great ideas stall because…

  • 🚧 You lack development bandwidth
  • ⏳ Traditional build cycles take 3–12 months
  • 💸 Agencies and freelancers charge six‑figure budgets
  • 🧩 You waste time gluing tutorials, no‑code tools, and fragmented workflows

What if you could compress that entire process into a single, guided flow?

⚙️ Our Hybrid AI + Human Solution

We built a 5‑step progressive workflow that:

  1. Hooks you with free AI value
  2. Delivers low‑risk micro‑products (€99 blueprint, €299/€499 landing page)
  3. Guides you into a full‑stack launch package
  4. Upsells growth & mentorship only once you’re live

Every step combines AI automation (idea gen, wireframe scaffolds, PDF reports) with expert human polish (strategy calls, UI/UX refinement, dev sprints).

🚀 Step‑by‑Step Flow

1️⃣ Free AI Wizard & “Idea Snapshot”

Paste a keyword or your one‑line idea → GPT‑4 generates 3–5 startup concepts (names + core features) and instantly validates your pick (market size, 2 competitors, MVP feature).

👉 No email required—immediate value on screen, plus an optional one‑page PDF you can download for free.

2️⃣ €99 “Launch Blueprint”

Lock in €99 for a 30‑min kickoff call with a strategist. You get a polished PDF roadmap (plus an optional 1‑min video debrief) that lays out:

  • Key features to build first
  • High‑level 7‑day launch schedule
  • Recommended package & next‑steps

3️⃣ Tiered Landing‑Page Sprint (€299/€499)

Pick Basic (€299) or Premium (€499) landing‑page packages:

  • Basic: Single‑page lead‑capture + analytics
  • Premium: Multi‑section page + A/B headline test + light CMS Delivered in 2 days, live on your own domain.

4️⃣ Core “Startup‑in‑a‑Box” Packages

When you love your landing page, choose:

  • Standard (€2,500 total) → 50% deposit
  • Premium (€4,500 total) → 50% deposit

We spin up your full‑stack MVP (dashboard, integrations, branding) in 3–5 days, then hand it off—complete with docs and 30/90 days of support.

5️⃣ Post‑Launch Growth Add‑Ons

Once you’re live, scale with our optional services:

  • Mentorship (€400/mo)
  • Growth campaigns (€1,500+)
  • Investor‑prep & pitch coaching (€2,500+)

🏗️ Under the Hood

  • Tech Stack: React + React Router, Supabase (auth & database), OpenAI (gpt‑o4‑mini)
  • PDF Generation: Serverless Puppeteer → one‑page Snapshots & Blueprints
  • Event Tracking: GA4 events for each milestone
  • Project Dashboard: View status, deliverables, invoices, and next steps

🔍 Why It Works

  • Progressive Commitments lower the barrier (Free → €99 → €299 → …)
  • Micro‑deliverables build trust and momentum
  • AI + Human blend keeps costs lean and quality high
  • Clear milestones make the path to “live” predictable
