Yeah, good luck getting developers to work days on end to create a MVP for a founder at 200 or 450 bucks. My going development rate is 265 an hour. Also a MVP in 2 days is not likely or feasable, a demo with smoke and mirrors to show to vc or angels. MVP "Minimal Viable Product" means a working version ready for sale with the minimal set of features to make the product a reality.
My 2 cents is connect founders and Developers to make a match for long term projects, Match a CEO, CFO, and CTO. Work on building founder Teams, not trying to to match a wantrapanuer who doesn't value a Software engineers time and abilities is not willing to pay for that.
- sahawneh 9y agoThere's a slice of the market around the world that charges $15 - $20 an hour and is just as ambitious as you are. In 20 - 30 hours of work, you can build a pretty decent MVP that is enough to test out your idea.
- iamNumber4 9y agoIf it is a test of ideas, it's a demo or proof of concept and not a MVP. Again MVP is ready for sale with minimum features. also at 15-20 an hour you get what you pay for. Quality will be lacking and you won't have a good foundation to build a business on. 20-30 hours - does this include a Unit test framework, a code review process, QC front end testing, security considerations, documentation? Probably not. Again you get what you pay for. if you cut too many corners, you will have a circle and it will eventually come back on you, which you will pay for your decisions.
