Your MVP, production-ready from day one.
Get your idea live fast with a web app that can grow into the real product, not a throwaway prototype. We start from Kikstart's maintained modules, build your features on top, and deploy it on Vercel and Neon.
The problem
Most MVPs are built twice. The first version is a prototype that proves the idea and cannot carry real users, and the second is the rewrite once it has to. Or the budget goes on sign-in, roles, a database and deployment before a single feature your users care about exists.
Kikstart starts somewhere else. Every app begins on the same maintained modules our own products run on, so the plumbing is done on day one and your budget goes on what makes your product different. It is built AI-first, by an engineer working with Claude Code, which is why the timelines are short without cutting corners on the architecture.
Admin from day one
Manage your app the day it launches.
Every MVP ships with a working admin over its data, built on Kikstart's grid and form blocks, so you run your application from the start instead of waiting for a back office to be built.
Data grids
Filters, sorting, search, card and table views, and export to a spreadsheet, over every table your app keeps.
Edit forms
Tabbed record pages such as Details, Files, Pricing and History, with validation and the fields your data needs.
Maintained, not bespoke
The same blocks run every Kikstart app, so the admin keeps improving as the blocks do.
How it works
What we build.
- 01 / 04
Start from modules
Sign-in, users and roles, the database, the admin shell and the deployment are already built and maintained, so no week is spent on plumbing.
- 02 / 04
Build your features
Your core flows, screens and rules are built on top by an engineer working AI-first with Claude Code.
- 03 / 04
Deploy for real
The app runs on Vercel with a Neon Postgres database of its own, the same production stack Kikstart itself runs on.
- 04 / 04
Grow it, or add an app
The code is TypeScript and Next.js you can keep building on. Advanced can add an iOS and Android app on the same backend.

Included
In every package.
Production code, not a prototype
TypeScript, Next.js and PostgreSQL, structured to grow into the real product rather than be thrown away.
Your own database
A Neon Postgres database of its own from day one, never a table shared with anyone else.
Help shaping the scope
More than 25 years of building business software goes into deciding what the MVP needs first, not only into building it.
Yours to keep
You own everything built for your project, with a perpetual licence to the Kikstart foundation it runs on. A Kikstart plan keeps that foundation updated, if you want it; the app works without one.

From you
What we need to start.
Your idea and main flows
A short description of the product and the few things a user must be able to do in it.
Designs or examples
Any sketches, designs or existing apps you like, so the look and flow start close to what you want.
Who the users are
Customers, staff, admins, and what each of them should and should not be able to see.
Store accounts, for the mobile option
Ideally your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, with us invited as a developer. If that is not practical, we can publish under Kikstart's accounts.
The steps
From brief to handover.
- 01 / 04
Shape the scope
We turn your idea into the screens, roles and flows the first version needs, and agree the package.
- 02 / 04
Start from modules
Your app is set up on Kikstart's maintained modules, with its own database, sign-in and deployment in place.
- 03 / 04
Build and preview
Your features are built on top and you review them on a live preview as they land.
- 04 / 04
Launch and hand over
The app goes live on Vercel and Neon, with source code, setup instructions and a walkthrough, then your revision rounds.
