8-Week MVP Launch

From Zero to Four-Figure Daily Revenue in 8 Weeks

The full MVP playbook — concept to paying customers in two months.
Context
Client: kurando
Role: Interim CPO
Timeline: Oct 2021 – Jan 2022
Industry: D2C Pharmacy Delivery (startup)
The challenge
A pharmacy delivery startup needed to get to market before funding pressure caught up with them. No product, no brand, no ordering infrastructure — and a market window that wouldn't stay open. They needed someone to own the entire product side and ship, fast.
What I did
End-to-end product development — took the product from concept to market launch in 8 weeks, with full wireframes and a product strategy grounded in audience data
Order management system — designed an ordering workflow connecting three user groups: drivers, partner pharmacies and dispatchers
MVP discipline — cut scope to what proved the model: order, fulfill, deliver; everything else went to the post-launch roadmap
Positioning & brand — established brand identity and product positioning for launch
Team enablement — trained the team in platform management for a clean handover, so the product ran without me
The result
MVP live after 8 weeks — daily revenues hit four figures shortly after launch. The ordering workflow connected all three user groups from day one, and the team operated the platform independently after handover.
Stack & methods: Shopify, UX/UI Design, Wireframing, Product Strategy, MVP Scoping
