§ SOL · 01For funded founders moving fast
Live in six weeks,
not six months.
A senior pod, a fixed scope, and a Friday receipt every week. We start Monday. You launch in 42 days.
§ 01 — The ChallengeYour runway is burning
Your runway is burning
while your product isn't shipping.
You raised on a vision. You have the team, the conviction, and the deck. But every week without a live product is a week of lost learning, lost customers, and lost momentum — and the slope only steepens.
- 01Senior engineering hires taking 3–6 months to close!
- 02Analysis paralysis on stack and architecture decisions!
- 03Feature creep quietly eating the launch date!
- 04No clear path from prototype to production!
70%
of startups cite "moving too slowly" as a key factor in failure. Velocity isn't a vanity metric — it's a survival metric.

What “good” looks like.
✓WEEK 6
Live MVP. Real users.
Not a clickable prototype — a production system processing real transactions on real infrastructure with real auth.
✓DAY ONE
Metrics dashboard.
Know exactly how users behave from the first session. Funnel, retention, activation — wired before launch, not after.
✓100 → 100K
Scalable foundation.
Architecture that grows from your first cohort to your Series B without needing a rewrite or a 6-week migration.

§ 03 — Proven Results
Word from the fast lane.
Drexus delivered our marketplace MVP in 5 weeks. We onboarded our first 100 vendors within days of launch and closed our Series A three months later.
We were burning $200k/month trying to hire. Drexus got us to market 4× faster than our original timeline. Best decision we made.

§ 04 — FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Q.01
What if we need to pivot during development?
Our agile approach includes weekly sprint reviews and built-in flexibility. We've successfully navigated pivots for 73% of our startup clients, often improving the final product by surfacing the right thing to build a week or two before code went deep.
Q.02
How do you ensure quality with such fast delivery?
Battle-tested patterns, automated testing, and senior engineers only — no juniors, no offshoring. Our MVP framework includes monitoring, security baseline, and scalability considerations from day one. We don't ship things we wouldn't put on-call for.
Q.03
What happens after the MVP launches?
Three options: hand off to your team with full documentation, continue with us for growth features, or engage our on-demand support. 89% of clients continue working with us post-launch — we plan for that, but we don't depend on it.
Q.04
Can you work with our existing technical team?
Absolutely. We excel at augmenting existing teams, sharing knowledge, and establishing processes that survive our departure. Friday Receipts keep everyone aligned across both sides of the engagement.
Q.05
What tech stack do you use?
Stack-flexible but with deep expertise in React, Node, Python, Postgres, and cloud-native architectures (AWS, GCP, Vercel). We recommend the best fit for your specific needs and your future scaling plans.
