For startups

Software development for startups, from MVP to your next release.

Software development for startups moving from an idea or early product to a focused web, SaaS, or mobile release. Salt helps define the scope, deliver the application, and plan what comes next.

Where we can help

Choose the work
that matters now.

These are starting scopes. Your systems, decision owners, and delivery constraints shape the final proposal.

A focused product MVP

Choose the users, the problem, and the one complete journey that must work. Include essential administration and error handling without building every future feature.

Explore the capability

Web and mobile delivery

Scope the web application, backend interfaces, and iOS or Android needs together. Decide which surfaces are essential for the first release.

Explore the capability

A bounded AI pilot

Test one workflow with representative data and explicit human review. Evaluate answer quality and exceptions before expanding the implementation.

Explore the capability

An existing product’s next stage

Review the code, deployment process, and most important technical constraints before committing to a new feature plan.

Explore the capability

From discussion to delivery

A first engagement
with clear decisions.

Explore our SPARK framework
  1. 01

    Define the first decision

    Share your target users, business hypothesis, existing designs or code, and budget constraints. We identify assumptions and the dependencies that need investigation.

  2. 02

    Validate the risky dependency

    Use a discovery or prototype scope to check an uncertain integration, technical constraint, or user journey. Agree what evidence is needed to proceed.

  3. 03

    Deliver and learn

    Build the agreed release with review points and acceptance criteria. Prioritize follow-up work using actual customer feedback rather than an oversized initial backlog.

Delivery ownership

Choose how we work together.

Managed delivery

Useful when you need coordinated engineering and testing around an agreed product scope. You retain product priorities and acceptance decisions.

Discuss the right setup

Dedicated engineers

Useful when your technical co-founder or engineering lead already directs delivery and needs additional skills.

Discuss the right setup

Working with your US team

Agree time-zone overlap, communication channels, decision-makers, repository access, and review cadence before delivery begins. Scope, staffing, commercial terms, ownership, and post-launch responsibilities belong in the proposal and agreement.

Before you begin

Questions to resolve
before committing.

The estimate depends on the core journey, number of user roles, design readiness, integrations, data handling, and release requirements. Share those inputs and your budget constraints so the first release can be scoped realistically.

Yes. Agree how new requests are assessed, what they replace, and how they affect time and cost. A prioritized backlog makes those decisions visible.

Define intellectual-property ownership, repository access, third-party licenses, and handover requirements in the agreement before delivery begins.

A reliable commitment needs an agreed scope, available dependencies, and acceptance criteria. We can discuss your target date and identify what a viable first release could include.

Start with a short brief

Share your product idea.

Tell us about your target users, the first problem your product will solve, and any designs or code you already have. Include budget or launch constraints if known.
