01 /What we build
MVP development for UK businesses.
The best MVP is the smallest product that proves the thing you most need to know: that customers want it, will pay for it, or will change how they work for it. Krapton builds MVPs for UK founders and product teams that are fast to launch, honest about what they are testing and built well enough to become the real product if the bet pays off.
SaaS MVP
Accounts, subscriptions and the one workflow your first customers will pay for, on a cloud architecture that can grow with them.
Cloud developmentAI MVP
An assistant, agent or AI feature scoped around one real task, with evaluation examples and running costs visible from the start.
AI MVP developmentWeb applications
Portals, dashboards and workflow tools that run in the browser, with clear roles, useful data and room to evolve.
Application developmentMobile apps
iOS and Android from one React Native codebase, with the backend, notifications and analytics behind them.
Mobile app developmentMarketplaces
Two-sided products with listings, search, messaging and payments, shaped around the side of the market you need to win first.
Bespoke software developmentInternal platforms
Tools that replace spreadsheets and manual hand-offs, connected to the systems your team already runs.
Digital transformation
We help you separate the essential behaviour from the features that can wait, design a first release around your riskiest assumption, instrument it so the evidence arrives, and plan the next stage from what users actually do. Fixed-scope quotes in GBP, a clear timeline and a team that has shipped products for startups in fintech, entertainment, education, mobile social and AI.
02 /How it works
From idea to real users, in five steps.
Each stage produces something you can see and decide on. Milestones, acceptance criteria and demonstrations are agreed before we commit.
What the engagement can include
- Discovery workshops and a prioritised product scope
- Working prototypes and a usable first release
- Feedback instrumentation and a next-stage roadmap
01
Discover
Target user, problem, assumptions and success metrics. A prioritised scope, user journeys, architecture and a fixed quote for the build.
OutputA prioritised scope and a fixed quote
02
Prototype
A clickable prototype of the core journey, tested with early users before a line of production code is written.
OutputA tested, clickable core journey
03
Build
The first release built in short cycles, with weekly demos and working software you can try at every step.
OutputA usable first release
04
Launch
Deployed to real users with analytics, feedback capture and onboarding metrics in place from day one.
OutputReal users and the first evidence
05
Iterate
Review the evidence together and plan the next increment, whether that is growth features, fundraising readiness or a pivot.
OutputA next-stage roadmap
03 /AI MVPs
AI products, built on your knowledge.
Many first products now include an assistant, document understanding or automation. We scope AI features with the same discipline as the rest of the MVP: one real task, representative examples, evaluation before launch and running costs you can see.
- Representative examples and an evaluation set before a model is chosen
- Human approval for the decisions that matter
- Running costs visible from the first release
- Your AI productThe experience your users see
- ModelsOpenAI and Anthropic APIs, chosen per task
- Knowledge and dataDocuments, databases and retrieval
- Tools and APIsThe systems it may act in, with permissions
- UsersCustomers on web and mobile, or your own team
AI agents
Multi-step tasks across your tools, with defined permissions and a person in the loop.
AI assistants
Answers and drafts grounded in your product’s own content.
RAG and knowledge bases
Retrieval over documents and data, with sources users can check.
AI search
Search that understands what people mean, not only the words they type.
Document intelligence
Extract, classify and summarise contracts, forms and reports.
AI automation
Repeatable back-office steps handled for you, with review where it matters.
AI SaaS
A subscription product with AI at its core, metered and monitored.
AI-powered apps
AI features inside the web and mobile apps your users already know.

04 /Why Krapton
Why UK businesses choose Krapton for MVP development.
Start with your target user, the problem and what would count as evidence of demand. We separate essential behaviour from features that can wait.
Scoped around the riskiest assumption
A discovery sprint turns the idea into a testable first release with a prioritised scope and a definition of the evidence you need.
Fast to launch, built to last
Modern stacks and proven components get a usable product to real users quickly, without the shortcuts that force a rewrite at seed stage.
Instrumented for learning
Analytics, feedback capture and onboarding metrics from day one, so the next decision is made on data.
A roadmap beyond the MVP
Architecture and a next-stage plan that let the MVP grow into the platform investors and customers expect.

Examples from Krapton’s international portfolio. Each success story describes the work delivered for that project.
All success stories
Stakeclash
StakeClash blends blockchain with competitive gaming — players stake cash on the games they play. The platform needed a web experience fast and credible enough to convert gamers into registered, depositing users.Read the success story
Rush Racing League
Rush Racing League needed a home for serious competitive F1 sim racing across three continents — somewhere the season calendar, tiered divisions, leaderboards and registration could live without falling over every time a new season opened and traffic spiked.Read the success story
Sendora
Sendora lets users send money internationally with zero transfer fees, spend on a global debit card and build credit from their phone — but the marketing site had to communicate trust, speed and global coverage at a glance, in a category where trust is everything.Read the success story
Pademi
Pademi wanted to help couples genuinely connect — daily prompts answered separately and compared, love notes, mood sharing, quizzes and guided multi-day journeys — across iOS, Android and web, with the consistency a relationship product demands.Read the success story
06 /Cost
How much does an MVP cost?
It depends on six things. Tell us about your MVP and we quote a fixed scope in GBP after a discovery sprint.
Product complexity
The number of core journeys, user roles and business rules the first release needs.
Platforms
Web, iOS, Android or all three, from one codebase or several.
Integrations
Payments, identity checks, CRMs and the other systems it must talk to.
AI requirements
Models, retrieval, evaluation and the running cost of each AI feature.
Design
A proven component library, or a bespoke design system and brand.
Timeline
How soon you need to launch, and how much work can run in parallel.
07 /Questions
MVP development: questions UK buyers ask.
Straight answers on cost, timelines, ownership and what happens after launch.
How much does it cost to build an MVP in the UK?
It depends on the platform (web, mobile or both), the number of core journeys and the integrations needed, such as payments or identity checks. We quote a fixed scope in GBP after a discovery sprint.
How long does MVP development take?
Most MVPs launch in a small number of months from the end of discovery. The scope decisions made in discovery matter more to the timeline than the technology.
Can you help us prepare for investors?
We can help you produce a product that demonstrates traction, a technical architecture that stands up to due diligence and documentation that explains how the platform scales. We are engineers rather than fundraising advisers, so we stay on the product side of that conversation.
Do we own the code and IP?
Yes. Everything is set up in your company’s name and assigned to you under the contract, which is governed by the law of England and Wales.
What happens after the MVP launches?
You choose: continue with the same team on a roadmap, move to a maintenance retainer, or hire your own developers and take the documented handover. Many clients keep us as their engineering team as the product grows.
Can you build the MVP with AI features?
Yes. Many current MVPs include an AI assistant, document understanding or automation. We scope those features with the same discipline: a use case, evaluation examples and running-cost visibility.
