Startup Solution to help you launch right and grow with confidence.
Instead of guessing alone, work with a hands-on startup consultant and tech team that helps you validate your idea, design the right product, build your MVP and prepare for growth & funding.
Bring your idea, current deck or product link. We’ll give you a clear, honest view of what to fix, what to build and what to do next.
From first-time founders to growing early-stage startups.
You don’t need a big internal team to start strong. You need a partner who understands both startup reality and serious technology.
You have a clear idea or problem you’ve observed, but you’re not sure what to build first, how much it will cost or how to validate it without wasting months.
Clarity & validationYou’re building or have just launched your first version. You want to refine the product, stabilise the tech and get early traction without burning your runway.
MVP to market fitYou’ve proven demand and now need to fix tech debt, improve reliability and ship new features while preparing for fundraising or scale.
Scale with fewer mistakesWe’ve seen what breaks early-stage startups — and we design around it.
Startup Solution is built around common patterns we see with founders: wrong product decisions, wrong tech choices, and fractured execution.
- Idea sounds exciting but is hard to explain in one sentence.
- Pitch deck talks about everything, so nothing feels sharp.
- Investors and early users don’t “get it” fast enough.
- Months of development, but users only use 10–20% of features.
- No clear core use case that pulls users back.
- Tech roadmap not connected to customer feedback.
- Product works in demo, fails in real-world traffic.
- Freelancers come and go; knowledge and code quality suffer.
- No basic monitoring, backups or documentation.
- Unclear pricing, metrics and acquisition plan.
- Deck doesn’t connect product, numbers and story.
- Founders spend time “fixing” slides instead of fixing product.
Pick the level of support your startup needs right now.
Each program is designed to give you practical outcomes in weeks — not just more documents. We can start small, then extend into product builds and long-term support.
For founders who want to stress-test their idea and define a focused first version.
- Clarify problem, target users and value proposition.
- Prioritised feature list for your first release.
- Simple validation plan you can run in days.
- Feedback on pitch narrative & high-level numbers.
Outcome: a sharper idea, a clear MVP and fewer ways to waste time.
For teams ready to build — but not sure about the right tech stack, scope and timeline.
- Product flows and screens for core journeys.
- Architecture & tech stack recommendations.
- Phased roadmap (MVP → v1.0 → nice-to-have).
- Delivery plan and ballpark budget estimates.
Outcome: build with confidence instead of guessing with freelancers.
We become your execution partner to build and launch the first real product version.
- Cross-functional squad (PM / Design / Dev / QA).
- Weekly demos and transparent delivery rhythm.
- Basic analytics, monitoring and documentation.
- Launch support and early feedback loops.
Outcome: an MVP that people can actually use, not just a prototype.
For startups preparing for fundraising or structured growth after initial traction.
- Help define metrics, pricing and cohort tracking.
- Deck & product story aligned to real numbers.
- Tech roadmap aligned to growth priorities.
- Support during due diligence on product & tech.
Outcome: a story, product and tech stack that stand up to investor questions.
A simple, founder-friendly engagement from day one.
You don’t need a perfect deck to talk to us. We meet you where you are and build from there, step by step.
We review your idea, current product (if any), team, budget and timeline. Expect direct but respectful feedback on what looks realistic.
Outcome: initial recommendation on program & next steps.
We dig into users, use cases and numbers. Together we define what to validate first, what to build now and what to postpone.
Outcome: signed-off scope, approach and engagement model.
Work runs in 1–2 week sprints with demos. You see the product evolve, can course-correct early and stay close to decisions.
Outcome: working software and tangible assets, not just documents.
We help with rollout, analytics and capturing user feedback. Together we decide what to fix, what to improve and what to drop.
Outcome: real signals from real users to drive your next decisions.
If there’s a fit, we continue as your tech & product partner — helping you improve reliability, ship new features and prepare for scale or funding.
Outcome: a partner who knows your product deeply, not a new vendor every 6 months.
Examples of how we support real founders.
Names and some details are anonymised for confidentiality, but the outcomes and patterns are real.
Founder had multiple use cases in mind and no clarity on where to start. We helped sharpen positioning, define a narrow first use case and design an MVP that could be used by 3 pilot customers.
- Positioning & messaging workshop.
- MVP scope and product flows.
- Architecture and delivery plan.
Result: pilot launched with 3 paying customers in ~4 months, with clear roadmap for v1.0.
The startup had an app built by multiple freelancers; crashes and downtime were hurting retention. We stepped in to stabilise the backend, improve UX and relaunch with basic analytics and monitoring.
- Technical audit & refactor plan.
- Crash & performance fixes.
- Rollout strategy and support.
Result: app crash rate reduced significantly and weekly active users grew without new ad spend.
Founders had traction but struggled to connect product, metrics and story in their pitch. We supported them across product narrative, key metrics and tech roadmap for the next 12–18 months.
- Metric definitions & dashboards.
- Deck structure & storyline.
- Prioritised roadmap tied to milestones.
Result: stronger investor conversations and a clearer internal plan for the team.
What founders say about working with VD Hosts.
Our goal is simple: be the technical and strategic partner we wish we had when we were starting up.
“In the first week itself, they helped me cut my MVP scope by 40% without losing the vision. That single decision probably saved me six months and a lot of money.”
“We had already built v1 with different freelancers and were scared to touch anything. VD Hosts stabilised the product and gave us a roadmap we could actually follow.”
“They think like founders, not just as a service vendor. Most of our important product and tech decisions were made in whiteboard sessions with their team.”
Questions founders often ask before starting.
If your situation is a bit different, that’s fine — share it with us and we’ll tell you honestly if we’re the right fit.
No. Many founders start working with us while they’re still validating the idea or waiting for incorporation. We can give you clarity on product and tech first, then you can decide the right time to formalise the company.
Our core focus in Startup Solution is strategy, product, tech and digital execution. On a case-by-case basis, we can connect you with ecosystem partners for legal, compliance or funding-related support, but we don’t take success fees or guarantee investment.
That’s normal in early stages. We prefer to design a smaller, sharper engagement that actually helps you move forward — instead of over-committing and under-delivering. In the clarity call we’ll be upfront about what’s realistic for your budget.
Absolutely. We’re happy to work alongside your existing team, helping with architecture, product thinking, reviews and processes while your team does part of the build. The goal is to create one combined team that works well together.
Let’s make your next startup move a smart one.
Share where you are right now — idea, deck, prototype or live product — and what’s blocking you. We’ll review it and suggest a practical way to work together through the Startup Solution program.
No pressure to sign anything on the call. The goal is to give you clarity first — and then decide if we’re the right partner.
