The 4-Week MVP: From Figma to Production

Posted December 20, 2025

Most startups die because they build too much, too slowly. They spend 6 months perfecting a dashboard nobody uses.

At Saarza, we strictly follow the 4-Week MVP Protocol.

Week 1: The "Kill" List

We sit down and ruthlessly cut features.

  • Do you need Dark Mode? No.
  • Do you need Google/GitHub/Apple login? Pick one.
  • Do you need a complex Admin Panel? Hardcode it for now.

We identify the One Core Feature that solves the user's problem.

Week 2: The Skeleton

We build the database schema and authentication. This is the boring infrastructure work. We use our internal boilerplate (SaasStarter) to finish this in 3 days instead of 2 weeks.

Week 3: The Core Feature

This is where we spend 80% of our energy. If it's an AI app, we tune the prompts. If it's a fintech app, we nail the transaction flow.

Week 4: Polish & Ship

We add Stripe billing, set up the landing page, and deploy. By Friday, real users can sign up and pay.

Perfect is the enemy of done. Launch now.
