BeejakTech LLC is a US-based startup product development studio. We help founders and solo businesses build MVPs, SaaS apps, mobile products, and AI features — from idea to paying customers in 30–45 days.

How long does it take to build an MVP?

Most MVPs ship in 30–45 days with weekly demos. Simple web products can launch in 2–3 weeks; multi-platform or AI-heavy builds typically land in 4–8 weeks. We scope honestly upfront.

How much does MVP development cost?

Cost depends on features, platforms, and integrations. BeejakTech uses fixed milestones — not open-ended hourly billing. You receive a fixed quote within 48 hours of discovery. Most startup MVPs cost a fraction of traditional agency quotes.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Yes. Most clients are non-technical founders. We run discovery, wireframes, and plain-English weekly demos. You approve scope before code is written.

Do you work with solo founders and one-person businesses?

Yes. We are built for solo founders who need a technical partner without giving up equity. Fixed scope, NDA standard, 100% IP ownership.

Who owns the product and source code?

You own 100% of the intellectual property and source code. BeejakTech assigns all rights to you in every contract. No platform lock-in.

What happens on the first call?

We learn your problem, target customer, and constraints. You leave with an honest timeline and ballpark investment — no multi-call sales process.

What tech stack do you use for MVPs?

Next.js, TypeScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and AWS for most SaaS MVPs. React Native for mobile. We pick stacks that ship fast and scale when you grow.

Can you build AI features into a startup MVP?

Yes — RAG search, copilots, document AI, and workflow agents. We build evaluation-first with guardrails, not demo-only chatbots.

Are you like no-code platforms such as Bubble?

No. You receive a custom codebase you fully own — not locked into a third-party platform. The product is independent and maintainable by any engineering team.

Where is BeejakTech located?

Seattle, Washington and Washington, DC. We work with startups and solo businesses nationwide across US time zones and internationally.

Yes — mutual NDA before any technical deep-dive. IP assignment included in every engagement.

What do you build after the MVP launches?

91% of clients return for v2, scaling, new features, and team extension. We offer ongoing product engineering month to month.

How is BeejakTech different from a large agency?

We cap active projects, staff seniors only, fixed-scope before code, and optimize for shipped products — not billable hours. Most clients go live in weeks, not months.

Freelancer vs agency vs product studio

Freelancers are cheapest but single-point-of-failure. Agencies scale teams but often optimize for billable hours. Product studios (like BeejakTech) focus on shipped MVPs with fixed scope and senior engineers.
