Fractional CTO and build team for non-technical founders

Build your Minimum Viable Productin as little as 4 weeks

You get a hands-on fractional CTO and a small team of ex-Amazon and Meta engineers. Your first product gets built right, loved by your customers, without you ever having to become technical yourself.

Why founders choose us

Here's how we make this easy for you

Building your first product can feel like a lot. This is how we keep it simple.

We build only what you need

No extra features, no wasted time. Just what your product needs to prove your idea works.

We explain things simply

You'll always know what we're building and why, in plain words, with no tech jargon.

One person leads it all

Sakshi leads every project herself. You always know who's in charge and what's happening.

That's the idea. One steady leader, one small team, one clear plan.

How it works

From first call to shipped product, in four steps

01

Intro call

We talk through what you're building and why, in plain language, no jargon required.

02

Scoped plan

You get a clear, written plan. What gets built, in what order, and roughly how long it takes.

03

Build sprint

Sakshi leads a small team of senior engineers, matched to your project, usually in 4 to 12 weeks.

04

Ongoing partnership

After launch, we can keep building with you. New features, fixes, and guidance as you grow.

Led personally by Sakshi Gangrade

Sakshi spent 7 years at Amazon as an engineering manager. She led teams that built systems used by millions of people, including one project that handled about a million actions every second. She knows how to build things that hold up at scale.

She has also spent years learning how people and teams do their best work under pressure. That shows up in how she runs projects. She stays calm, explains things clearly, and tells you the truth about what you actually need.

"You'll always know what's happening, why, and what it costs you in time and money, even if you've never shipped software before."

The team

A small bench of senior engineers, not a rotating cast

Sakshi brings in engineers from Amazon, Meta, and fast-growing startups, based on what your project needs. You'll meet whoever is working on your build. You're never handed off to a stranger.

Working with MLP Studio should feel different

Senior leadership, not junior hands

Sakshi is hands-on across the whole build, not just the kickoff call.

Plain-language updates

Regular check-ins in your language, not engineering jargon.

Right-sized scope

We build what your product needs to prove, and nothing more.

You own everything

Code, credentials, and documentation are yours from day one.

Ways we work together

Every project is scoped to what you actually need

There's no single price for every project. A simple idea and a complex product take very different amounts of work. Book an intro call and we'll walk through a clear plan and quote together.
