Your AI Prototype Dies in Production. We Ship Yours in 6 Weeks.

If you're a founder who just raised pre-seed on a Lovable demo, you've got 90 days before your metrics deck becomes fiction.

We take your Lovable, Bolt, or v0 prototype and ship it on Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, and Clerk. Fixed-fee. Production-ready. 6-9 weeks.

SaaS MVP Launch

SaaS MVP Launch is a fixed-scope engineering engagement that converts an AI-generated prototype into a deployable, billable SaaS application. We handle architecture decisions, third-party integrations, and deployment configuration so founders can demo a live product to customers rather than a Figma file. The output is a codebase you own outright, running on infrastructure you control.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Your Lovable prototype cannot handle real users — it has no row-level security, no webhook-verified payments, and no error boundaries that survive production traffic.
Risk: Demoing a prototype as a working product to paying customers creates liability and burns trust you cannot recover before your next funding round.
Hiring a full-time engineer to rebuild the prototype means 3 to 4 months of recruiting, onboarding, and ramp time before a single feature ships.
Risk: Pre-seed runway is finite. Every month spent hiring is a month your competitors are onboarding customers and building retention data you do not have.
Freelancers who quote cheap on the prototype rebuild typically lack experience wiring Stripe webhooks, Supabase RLS policies, and Clerk JWT claims into a single coherent auth model.
Risk: A partial rebuild that ships with security gaps or broken billing logic is worse than the original prototype — it exposes you to chargeback disputes and data incidents at the worst possible moment.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

Supabase Row-Level Security

Every table ships with RLS policies written and tested before handoff. No tenant can read or write another tenant's data, and we document the policy logic so your team can extend it safely.

Stripe Webhook Verification

Payment events are handled via signed webhook endpoints, not client-side redirects. Subscription state is reconciled server-side on every relevant event so your billing records stay accurate.

Clerk JWT Scoping

Auth tokens are scoped per organisation and validated at the API route level on every request. Session claims are never trusted from the client without server-side verification.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Next.js App Router Architecture

We structure the application using the Next.js App Router with server components, route handlers, and middleware-based auth guards — patterns that hold up as your feature surface grows and that a new hire can navigate without a two-week orientation.

Supabase Database and Storage

Schema design, migration files, RLS policies, and storage bucket configuration are all version-controlled and delivered as part of the handoff. You get a Postgres database you can query directly, not a black-box backend you are locked into.

Stripe Billing Integration

We implement subscription creation, plan upgrades, cancellations, and usage-based metering where applicable. The billing portal is wired to your product's feature flags so access gates update in real time when a subscription changes state.

CI/CD Pipeline and Staging Environment

Every pull request deploys to a preview environment. Main branch deploys to staging automatically, and production deploys require a manual promotion step. You have a working deployment pipeline on day one of handoff, not something you need to build after launch.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Prototype Audit and Scope Definition

1 week

We spend the first week reviewing your existing prototype, mapping every feature and data model, and producing a written scope document that specifies exactly what ships in the engagement. Nothing is ambiguous about what is in and what is deferred.

02

Architecture Build and Auth Wiring

2 weeks

We set up the Next.js project structure, configure Supabase with RLS, wire Clerk authentication, and establish the CI/CD pipeline. This sprint ends with a deployed staging environment that your team can access and that passes a basic security review.

03

Feature Implementation and Billing Integration

3 weeks

Core product features are built against the agreed scope, Stripe billing is integrated end-to-end including webhook handling, and the application is tested against realistic usage scenarios including concurrent sessions and subscription state changes.

04

Hardening, Documentation, and Handoff

1-2 weeks

We run a final security pass on RLS policies and API routes, write developer documentation covering architecture decisions and environment setup, and conduct a live handoff session with your team. You receive the repository, all credentials, and a 30-day support window for questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI code generators like Lovable, Bolt.new, and v0 are genuinely impressive at producing functional prototypes fast. But they consistently skip the production essentials: row-level security, proper auth flows, payment webhook handling, architecture that doesn't collapse at 1,000 users. Graduation means we take your prototype, extract the UX patterns that are actually working, and rebuild on a stack -- Next.js, Supabase, Clerk, Stripe -- that won't need a full rewrite six months from now.
Next.js gives you server-rendered React with edge functions, ISR, and API routes in one framework. Supabase provides Postgres with real-time subscriptions, row-level security, and edge functions, which means you don't need a separate backend service. Together, they're the fastest path to a production SaaS that any senior React developer can pick up and maintain. You own the code and the database. No lock-in.
Yes. Paddle acts as merchant of record, handling EU VAT, sales tax, and invoicing -- so you don't have to register for VAT across multiple countries yourself. We generally recommend Paddle for B2B SaaS selling into Europe and Stripe for US-first or usage-based billing models. Both integrate with Clerk for entitlement gating. We'll give you a clear recommendation during the audit phase based on where your customers actually are.
You get full source code, deployment configuration, and documentation. The codebase runs on standard Next.js and Supabase -- any competent React developer can maintain it. If you want ongoing development after launch, we offer retainer packages. But the goal is a clean handoff to your team or your next hire, not keeping you dependent on us.
We define scope in the Week 1 audit: specific features, data models, integrations. The fixed fee covers that scope. If you want to add something mid-build, we scope and price it separately before any work starts. No surprise invoices, no hourly billing where "it took longer than expected" suddenly becomes your problem. You know the cost upfront.
Most of our MVP clients are non-technical or semi-technical founders. That's genuinely the point -- you focus on validation, customers, and fundraising while we handle the architecture decisions. We communicate in plain English with weekly demos, not Jira tickets. You'll understand exactly what's being built and why, without needing to review pull requests.
