MVP LAUNCHPAD
In just 8 weeks, we’ll take your half-baked idea, mold it into a user-loved, investor-worthy MVP, and get it ready for development. No more second-guessing, just strategic design that hits all the right notes.
35+ MVP launched and counting
You know it needs to be user-friendly and irresistible, but right now, it’s more confusing than a 3 AM startup pitch.
You’re drowning in feature ideas, but prioritizing them? That’s like picking a favorite child.
You’ve got a proof-of-concept or a hastily thrown-together UI, but the UX? It’s far from refined and definitely not winning over users or investors.
Let’s just say the feedback so far hasn’t been “love at first click.”
Development is looming, but the design still feels like a puzzle missing half its pieces.
I’m Pili Laviolette, a fellow startup hustler who knows the MVP struggle all too well. After nearly 20 years designing for everyone from large orgs like ASU to scrappy startups, I’ve seen it all—the good, the bad, and the “what were they thinking?” That’s why I created MVP Launchpad: an 8-week program that turns messy ideas into user-centered, investor-ready products. My team and I work as your right-hand design squad, making sure your MVP’s foundation is rock-solid, ready to scale, and evolve.
Let’s have a chat about your MVP idea, goals, and how we can make it a reality—without the fluff. No commitment, just possibilities.
Once we’re on the same page, we’ll dive straight into defining, designing, and refining your MVP. You’ll get clear timelines, weekly check-ins, and all the user-centered magic you need.
Your MVP will be fully designed and packaged, ready for developers to build it out. You’ll have everything you need to impress users, woo investors, and set the stage for growth and evolution.

We get it—everyone wants things done yesterday. But here’s the thing: good design takes time, and a rushed MVP often leads to missed details and avoidable headaches later on. The 8-week timeline isn’t just for designing a pretty interface; it’s for nailing down user needs, defining core features, and creating a user experience that actually makes sense. Think of it as building a solid foundation rather than patching holes later—which, trust us, ends up taking even longer. So yes, it’s 8 weeks, but it’s worth every day.
Absolutely! You don’t need a fully polished concept to get started. In fact, helping you define and refine your idea is part of the process. We’ll work closely with you to clarify your vision, identify user needs, and prioritize the features that matter most. Think of it as turning that “lightbulb moment” into a roadmap for your MVP—no matter how fuzzy it feels right now.
Oh, there’s plenty of strategy involved! While a good-looking interface is a must, we’re not just here to make things pretty. We dig deep into user research, core feature prioritization, and user journeys to ensure that your MVP isn’t just eye candy—it’s a smart, strategic product that actually solves real problems. It’s design with brains, not just beauty.
Not at all! We actually expect things to change—that’s why we build in time for iterations and refinements based on your feedback. MVP Launchpad is designed as a mini retainer, giving you 15 hours of our time each week for 8 weeks. We have a recommended plan to keep things on track, but we’re flexible and can adapt to your evolving needs. Whether it’s adding features, adjusting priorities, or pivoting slightly, we’ll make sure those weekly hours are used wisely. However, if the scope evolves significantly beyond the original plan, keep in mind that the time and investment may need to be adjusted accordingly. We’ll be transparent about any changes, ensuring your MVP stays aligned with your vision—without any surprise costs or delays.
Nope, we designed MVP Launchpad specifically with startup budgets in mind. This service has been affordable for all of our startup clients, from seed-funded startups all the way to Series B. We know resources are tight, and we’ve structured our pricing to deliver maximum value without breaking the bank. Want to see the full breakdown? Download our pricing guide and see for yourself!

You’re not just getting pretty screens; you’re getting a dedicated team that combines UX strategy, UX design best practices, and expert MVP design, all wrapped up in one service. You’ll also have 15 hours of our time each week, keeping the project moving forward efficiently. We’ll be in constant communication via Slack, with one point of contact from our team, making collaboration seamless. Think of it as having your own design squad—without the hiring hassle.
