AI Startup Partnership B2B SaaS / AI 4 months

From AI Concept to Funded MVP

Client: LensLab Analytics

Partnered with a solo founder who had a computer-vision idea for quality control in manufacturing. We scoped the MVP, built the core product, and helped them reach first paying pilots.

The Challenge

The founder had deep domain experience and a notebook full of feature ideas, but no in-house developers and limited runway. They needed a partner who could challenge scope, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship a credible product for investor conversations and pilot customers—not a slide deck.

Our Solution

We ran structured discovery workshops, narrowed the first release to a single high-value workflow (defect detection on a production line with human-in-the-loop review), and delivered a cloud MVP with an API, web dashboard, and model pipeline. Weekly demos kept alignment tight; we documented architecture and handoff paths so they could later hire or scale the team with clarity.

"They pushed back when I wanted to build everything at once—and they were right. The MVP we shipped is what investors and customers actually wanted to see."
