Why teams choose Shape

01

Days, not months

We ship MVPs in 2–4 weeks. Our venture studio model eliminates the overhead that slows traditional agencies down.

02

Product-first thinking

We don’t just write code. Every decision is filtered through UX, growth, and business viability from day one.

03

Battle-tested stack

We reuse proven components across ventures. You get enterprise-grade infrastructure without the enterprise timeline.

04

Skin in the game

We co-invest in what we build. When your product wins, we win. That’s the alignment agencies can’t offer.

From idea to launch in 3 steps

01

Discover

We dig into your market, users, and business model. In one week, we validate the idea and define the MVP scope.

02

Build

Design, develop, and iterate — fast. We ship a working product in 2–4 weeks using our battle-tested stack and AI tools.

03

Launch & Scale

Go live, measure what matters, and iterate based on real data. We stay on as your technical partner through growth.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to build an MVP?

Most MVPs are live in 2–4 weeks. We scope aggressively, reuse proven components, and ship fast — without cutting corners on quality.

What’s the difference between Shape and an agency?

Agencies build what you tell them. We think product — UX, growth, and business viability from day one. We also co-invest in select ventures, so our incentives are aligned.

Do I need a technical co-founder?

No. That’s exactly what we replace. You get a full senior engineering and product team without the equity dilution or hiring risk.

How much does it cost?

It depends on scope. A typical MVP engagement starts around €15–25K. We’re transparent about pricing from the first call — no surprises.

What happens after launch?

We don’t disappear. We offer ongoing support, iteration sprints, and growth partnerships. Many of our ventures stay with us long-term.
