🚀 Building Your MVP for $5000 – Why I Started Tessellate Labs

Hey Indie Hackers,

I've seen too many great ideas never make it past the “what if” stage—not because they weren’t good, but because building an MVP is too expensive, too slow, or too overwhelming for many solo founders.

Some people spend $30K+ on agencies just to get a basic product. Others try to build it themselves and waste months learning to code instead of testing their idea. And let’s be honest—many never launch at all.

That’s why I started Tessellate Labs: to give founders an affordable, fast, and no-BS way to launch their MVP for just $5000.

How It Works

Fixed price: $5000. No scope creep, no surprises.
Rapid development: Get a functional MVP in weeks, not months.
Validation-first: We focus on core features that help you test, get users, and iterate.
Done-for-you tech: No worrying about databases, hosting, or deployment. We handle it.

I know how frustrating the MVP process can be. My goal is to make it simple, clear, and accessible for early-stage founders who just want to ship and test their idea in the real world.

💡 Would love to hear from you—What’s been your biggest challenge with building an MVP? Have you struggled with high costs, slow dev cycles, or something else?

Let’s discuss below! And if you’re interested in getting your MVP built for $5000, feel free to reach out as we have some limited slots available: https://forms.gle/R8diAb1UNmt1u1y17

    Is this no code or coded? Do you share the repositories or you are the owner of the code? Can I migrate the software to another server when I want or do you charge more for that? Thanks!

      Hey! This is coded. Typically is React / Vue with Supabase or even PHP (depending on the technical specs). The code is shared, client is the owner of the code at the end of contract.

      Definitely can be migrated.

        That's very good to know!

        The only thing I have no trust in moving forward is that you say that you are on 40K MRR and you have no website. I've Googled and found nothing. That makes me hesitate A LOT. You should have a website even before getting the first customer.

        Just my 2 cents.

          Yes, definitely. That revenue is mostly based on recurring work on my actual company. Tessellate Labs comes as a new ‘refresh’. As we are a very fully booked small team it’s not easy to be everywhere on the internet.

          Thank you very much for the feedback.

          Website coming real soon
