I MAKE PROTOTYPES

I make bespoke software for startups. Minimum Viable Products, Prototypes, ML algorithms... whatever you need to start pitching. You get a discount in exchange for equity, so I have an interest in your continued success.

I code

You run, pitch, sell, research

NO COOKIE CUTTERS

It's easy enough to find a software shop that will sell you the only thing they can make.

I will build exactly what you need for the next step in your startup.

How it works

  1. Email me

    Send me an email at oscar@proto-typed.com

    Let me know what you want, what you've already done, what you're planning and what your skills are.

  2. First talk

    We get to know each other and determine if we want to work together.

    I will also need to know some things about your business: What is your budget? What do you need the first prototype for? Pitching, market research, or even real use? Do you need an MVP, or an SLC? Do you need to scale down as well as up? How precise and focussed are your requirements?

  3. Determine requirements

    Good requirements can save a lot of time (and money). We will focus on those things that you need in the current phase of your startup, be that funding, market fit, proof of feasibility, or something else.

  4. I build it

    After we've agreed on the terms and requirements, I go to work. I aim to keep projects below 1-3 months depending on complexity.

    Costs: equity + third party costs + 45 EUR/hour

  5. You go to work

    With a first version in hand, go through the next steps of growing your startup.

  6. Adapt, pivot, improve

    If your requirements change, or if you need to take the prototype to the next level, we repeat the previous steps 2-3 times.

  7. Hire in-house developers

    When you become succesful and are ready to move development to an in-house team, I can help you with the recruitment process.

What I won't do

About me

My name is Oscar Leijendekker. I am a software developer with experience in over a dozen programming languages and many technologies, as well as a solid understanding of good software development principles. I have special knowledge of 3D graphics programming, and geometric algorithms, as well as a bit of type theory and formal methods.

I've had several failed startups, from which I learned a lot. Now I'm no longer interested in running a business, I want you to do that, while I develop your initial product.
