Frequently Asked Question

Yes, you will fully own the intellectual property (IP) of the MVP unless otherwise specified in a co-development or equity-sharing agreement. We ensure founders retain ownership of their core product to empower long-term scalability and independence.

Typically, the MVP is completed within 8–12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the product and the availability of validated requirements. We follow an agile development approach with milestone check-ins to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the process.

No, the Double Tax Deduction (e.g. for R&D under schemes like Singapore’s DTD) is not guaranteed. Eligibility depends on your jurisdiction’s tax laws and whether your project qualifies under government guidelines. We can assist in documentation and guidance, but the final decision lies with the relevant tax authority.

Absolutely. We strongly encourage collaboration. Founders are welcome to visit, join sprint reviews, give feedback, and remain involved throughout development. Our goal is to build with you, not just for you.
