Working hours that overlap
Beirut is 2.5 hours behind us, which still leaves a full working-day overlap.

How we work with you
Fast feedback without the agency theatrics
Click on day one
You react to a working surface immediately. We do not disappear for two weeks and return with a polished misunderstanding.
Loom every 48 hours
Two minutes: what changed, what is next, what is blocked, and what decision we need from you.
Payment you can verify
Wise or Payoneer, milestone-based: deposit, then a day-10 demo, then handover. Each milestone is tied to something you can open.
Production scope
What a $3,999 MVP can include
Scoping and written product plan
Core user flows and interface
Frontend and backend development
Database and authentication
Payment integration where required
Admin or operations panel
Production deployment
Code, account, and infrastructure ownership
Technical documentation and handover
Two weeks of fixes after delivery
The limit is scope
Not every product fits a 21-day build
We do not squeeze a large roadmap into an unsafe deadline. Larger mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and custom systems get a fixed written quote and a milestone plan. Scope changes are priced before we build them.
For accelerator founders
If you are in a cohort, demo day is the deadline we work backwards from
Berytech, Speed@BDD and university accelerator cohorts run on fixed calendars, and so do we. Tell us the demo day date during scoping and we plan against it: a working link early, a mid-build demo, and handover before you present.

FAQ
Lebanon MVP development questions
How much does MVP development cost in Lebanon?+
A clearly scoped Production MVP starts at $3,999 in USD. Larger products receive a fixed written quote after scoping, and scope changes are priced before we build them.
How can we pay from Lebanon?+
Wise or Payoneer, structured around milestones. We know local banking makes large single transfers impractical, so the payment plan is split and tied to demos you can verify yourself.
Can you work to an accelerator demo day?+
Yes, provided the scope fits the calendar. We plan backwards from the date and tell you during scoping if what you want does not fit, rather than discovering it in week three.
Do I own the source code?+
Yes. You own the code, repository, infrastructure, and accounts. We include documentation, handover, and two weeks of fixes after delivery.
