We turn a product hypothesis into a prioritized scope, then implement the features needed to test it with real users. Short iterations make assumptions and tradeoffs visible. We plan integrations, permissions and operational requirements for the agreed use, and decide what to develop next based on feedback.

Key Features

Plan delivery around scope and dependencies

We agree milestones after reviewing integrations, risks and operating requirements. A limited validation experiment is different from a production product. Demos show progress; scope changes come with an updated view of timing and cost.

MVP and product development

From MVP to a platform for web, iOS and Android

Our own product DRIVTO connects sports-car drivers, events and organisers. Starting with an MVP, we developed the platform for web, iOS and Android. AMG and Alpine are platform participants, not clients or partners of Olio.

Internal documentation tool

Continued development on the tool behind the BiPRO standards

BiPRO e.V. is the institute for process optimisation in the German insurance industry: the data and process standards the sector runs on are defined there. We worked on the continued development of the internal tool in which those standards are maintained.

Character persistence in image generation

Characters that stay recognisable across an AI storyboard

Storyboarder.ai turns a script into a finished storyboard. We built the character persistence: describe a character once, and they look the same in every panel. At a time when image generation could not do that on its own.

Curated reference sets

FAQ

How much does an MVP cost?

Simple MVPs start at €25,000-€40,000. Full SaaS MVPs with AI features range from €50,000-€120,000. We provide transparent estimates after a free consultation.

What happens after the MVP launches?

We provide documentation, handoff support, and optional ongoing maintenance. Your codebase is clean, documented, and ready for your in-house team or continued work with us.

Can you build mobile and web apps?

Yes. We build cross-platform mobile apps with React Native/Expo and web apps with Next.js. Most MVPs start web-first and add mobile later.

What tech stack do you use?

TypeScript, Next.js, React, Python, Django/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, and cloud hosting on Hetzner, GCP, or AWS, depending on your needs.
