Why most founders never build their SaaS
01
Hiring engineers yourself costs $150k-$200k/year (and takes 6 months to find the right one)
02
Dev agencies charge $200k+ & take 12-18 months (and you don't own the code)
03
No-code tools break at scale and look like garbage
04
You don't have time to learn to code yourself
The result?
You stay stuck in your service business, working 60-hour weeks, and never build the asset that could change your life.
Here's what we do differently
We place a senior engineer in your business, they build your MVP in 8 weeks, then we help you scale to $1M+ ARR and exit for 7-8 figures.
Top 1% Talent
Every engineer is vetted through a real 10-hour build test. You hire on performance, not resumes.
8-Week Delivery
Not 6 months. Not 18 months. Real, working software in 8 weeks. You own 100% of the code from day one.
Full-Stack Support
We don't just build and disappear. We help you grow, scale, and sell.
Your 24-month roadmap to a sellable SaaS business
From founding engineer to exit - here's exactly how we get you there.
Step 1: Placement (Weeks 1-2)
We find your founding engineer
From 100,000+ pre-vetted engineers, we shortlist 5 perfect fits. Each completes a paid build test - a real mini-MVP of your product - so you hire on performance, not resumes. You choose your founding engineer. They're yours full-time.
Step 2: Build (Weeks 3-8)
Your engineer ships your MVP in 8 weeks
Not no-code. Not outsourced. A real, enterprise-grade SaaS platform with 1-3 core features that deliver your result end-to-end. You watch it go live every week. Your engineer works only for you - in your Slack, on your calls, building your vision.
Step 3: Grow (Months 3-6)
We help you go live and onboard customers
We implement billing (Stripe), migrate your existing clients, onboard new users, and add talent as needed (designers, frontend devs). Your founding engineer keeps shipping. You start replacing manual work with software.
Step 4: Scale (Months 6-18)
We build your marketing, sales, and
product team
product team
We place your Head of Growth, sales team, customer success, and expand your product team. You go from $20k/month to $1M+ ARR. Everything is built to scale - not duct-taped together.
Step 5: Exit (Months 18-24)
We connect you with buyers and manage
your exit
your exit
Through our PE network, we intro you to buyers, prep your data room, build your deck, and manage the entire process from LOI to close. You walk away with a 5-20x exit instead of selling a service business for 1-3x.

Founder insights
“Our brokerage was running on spreadsheets and manual processes. The team built us a fully automated system in 8 weeks. Game changer for scale.”
"We were stuck using platforms like OnlyFans, taking their cuts and playing by their rules. MVP Launch helped us build our own platform from scratch - now we own the whole thing."
