Founder-led studio · building MVPs

Idea to launched MVP in weeks — not months.

Laxnar is a founder-run studio that builds your startup's first real product end to end. Web, mobile, and AI — designed, built, and shipped by the founders you actually talk to.

No portfolio? Not your risk.

You're not hiring a track record. You're hiring an outcome.

We'd rather remove the risk than show you a logo wall. Here's how working with a new, founder-run studio protects you.

01

You talk to the founders

No account managers, no telephone game. Decisions happen in one conversation and ship the same week.

02

You pay as it ships

Work is split into milestones with a price on each. You release payment as real, working pieces land — never ahead of progress.

03

Launch-partner pricing

We're taking on a few first clients at a founder rate in exchange for a testimonial and the right to feature the build. Senior work at a starter price.

04

Working demos, not pitches

Before you commit, we put a real, clickable prototype of your idea in front of you. You judge the product, not a slide deck.

// capabilities

Everything your MVP needs, from one team.

Web apps & SaaS

Production-grade web products with auth, billing, dashboards — the works.

Mobile apps

iOS + Android from one codebase. Native feel, one team, one ship cadence.

AI & automation

Chat, agents, and workflows wired directly into the product — not bolted on.

The full stack

Design, frontend, backend, deploy. End-to-end ownership of the whole build.

Founders who can build all of it means no integration tax, no finger-pointing, and a product that feels like it was made by one mind.

// process

A typical MVP, week by week.

  1. WEEK 0 — SCOPE

    Find the smallest thing worth launching

    We cut the idea to the version that proves the point. You leave with fixed scope, a price per milestone, and a launch date — before any money changes hands.

  2. WEEK 1 — PROTOTYPE

    Something real you can click

    A working prototype of the core flow, not mockups. You react early, while changing direction is still cheap.

  3. WEEKS 2–3 — BUILD

    Core features, wired up and working

    The real build, shipped in visible increments. You approve milestones as they land.

  4. WEEK 4 — LAUNCH

    Tested, deployed, in your users' hands

    Polish, QA, and a real deploy. You go live with something you watched get built.

// selected builds

Concept builds.

Sample builds that show how we'd ship in each stack. Real client work lands here as launch partners go live.

// the team

The people building it.

Two founders who own the whole build — design to deploy.

AM

Ayush Mahajan

Full-stack engineer and product builder. Spent the last few years shipping web and AI products for early-stage startups — from zero-to-one MVPs to production systems handling real traffic. Lives in the codebase from schema to deploy, and treats the first user as the design brief.

MD

Manan Dassani

Mobile and product engineer with a background in shipping consumer apps used by tens of thousands of people. Obsesses over the details users actually feel — animation, latency, the empty state — and turns half-formed ideas into clickable products fast.
