From idea to funded SaaS in 12 weeks
A non-technical founder needed a credible SaaS MVP fast — built clean enough to survive due diligence.
The problem
Helix’s founder had a strong idea and a funding window, but no technical team — and feared the “cheap build” trap of code that collapses under its first real users or investor scrutiny.
How we tackled it
We acted as senior product engineering: ruthlessly scoping the MVP to what proves value, then building it on scalable, multi-tenant architecture with auth, billing and clean, documented code.
What we built
A polished, scalable SaaS MVP with multi-tenancy, subscription billing and an AI-assisted core feature — shipped inside the funding window and built to survive due diligence.
- MVP scoped to prove value fast
- Multi-tenant architecture, auth and billing
- AI-assisted core feature where it added real value
- Clean, documented, investor-ready codebase
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture
- Auth & subscription billing
- AI integration (Claude)
- CI & automated testing
“They felt like a senior technical co-founder, not a vendor. We shipped on time, raised our round, and I own clean code I’m not afraid of.”
