Go from idea to a product people can sign up for and pay for, built by one engineer who designs it, codes it and launches it.

I was CTO of Cheggl, a platform used by about 6,300 businesses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: business profiles, video, search with AI voice search, subscriptions and an Android app on one backend. I also built Video Helden, a video-production platform with Stripe subscriptions, automated invoicing and an order workflow.

What you get

• Figma screens for your core flow before any code

• A real product: sign-up and login, database, your core workflow and an admin view

• Payments with Stripe: one-time, subscriptions, invoices

• AI where it helps: search, chat or content generation on Claude or OpenAI, with usage limits

• Deployed on your own hosting, with the code in your GitHub from day one

Packages

• MVP, $2,500, 3 weeks: one core workflow, accounts, database, admin view, deployed

• Launch, $5,500, 6 weeks: everything in MVP, plus Stripe subscriptions, emails, a dashboard and one AI feature

• Scale, $9,500, 10 weeks: everything in Launch, plus teams and roles, multi-tenant accounts, an API for a mobile app and error monitoring

Stack: Next.js, React, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB or PostgreSQL, Stripe, AWS, Claude or OpenAI. Flutter if you need a mobile app.
