Why Velocity?

Your big idea, with a brilliant team wrapped around it

Velocity is a four-week, fixed-price MVP development service for non-technical founders, from Hiyield, a B Corp certified digital product studio.

An MVP (minimum viable product) is the first version of your product, with just enough features for real customers to use, love and pay for.

AI tools make it super easy to knock up a demo, and that’s ace! Turning it into something people trust, pay for and keep coming back to is the tricky bit. That’s the bit we love, especially when it’s for founders who want to make the world a better place.

Avoid the pitfalls before you hit them

Our senior team has taken over 150 projects from idea to launch. Nothing’s offshored, so you get everything we’ve learned along the way.

Give your customers something they can trust

Security, reliability, accessibility and data protection are baked in from the very start by our Cyber Essentials certified team. Your first customers can sign up feeling safe.

A whole team in your corner

Strategy, design, development and marketing experts work side by side on your idea, and they bring you in on every decision that matters.

Stay in the driving seat

No confusing jargon and no guesswork. We’ll talk you through every choice in plain English, so you always know what’s happening and why.

A product that’s kinder to the planet

As a certified B Corp, we make clean, lean, efficient products that are low-carbon by design, and you’ll get a carbon report for your product too.

Find your first customers

Add our go-to-market package and our marketing team will help you plan a proper launch, so your product doesn’t just go live; it gets loved.

Which route is right for your MVP?

There’s no single right answer, and that’s totally fine! It all depends on where you are now and what you need next.

Velocity FAQs

Questions founders often ask us

Not found what you're looking for? Drop us an email or book your free strategy call.

What's an MVP?
MVP stands for minimum viable product. It's the first version of your product, with just enough features for real customers to use, love and pay for. That way you can start learning and earning without spending a fortune up front.
I'm not technical. Can you still help me?
Absolutely, you don’t need to be! You bring the idea and you know your customers better than anyone. We’ll talk you through every technical choice in plain English, so you can stay in control of your product without needing to learn to code.
Why not just keep building it myself with AI tools?
You can get to a demo that way, and plenty of founders do! The gap is everything between a demo and a product people trust and pay for: security, reliability, great design and a plan to reach customers. That's where we come in.
How much does Velocity cost?
£18,000 + VAT for four weeks, fixed. Go-to-market is an optional £5,000 + VAT add-on. We'll talk through exactly what's included on your strategy call. See pricing →
What does "go-to-market" actually mean?
Getting your product in front of real customers and turning it into revenue. It's an optional £5,000 + VAT package with a three-month marketing plan and launch support, so you're not left with a brilliant product and nobody using it.
What if my idea changes along the way?
It probably will, and that's a good sign! In week one, we agree together what your launch includes, and that's what your price and date cover. Any new ideas go on a list for your next sprint, priced separately. No surprise invoices.
What if you're late?
Your launch date is in the contract, and if we miss it for reasons on our side, we keep going at no extra cost.
Who owns the code and the design?
You do, from the very start. Your code, designs and accounts are all set up in your name, because it’s your business.
Do you outsource any of the work?
Never! Everything is done by our own senior team from across the UK, and we love it that way.
What happens after the four weeks?
You get 30 days of bug fixes included. After that, it's up to you: a light support plan, fixed-price sprints for your next features, or help growing your customer base. See "After launch" →
I've already built a prototype in Lovable or Replit. Can you help?
Yes, and you're off to a flying start! Begin with our Vibe Code Audit. A senior engineer checks what you've built, then we tell you exactly what it needs to be launch-ready. It's £750 + VAT, and if you choose to work with us afterwards, we'll take the £750 off your bill. About the Vibe Code Audit →
Can you help with grants or investors?
We’d love to help you get investor-ready. We don't write grant applications, but we can help you walk into an investor meeting with a product and demo you're proud of. We can also advise on keeping your build SEIS and EIS-friendly, and make introductions where we know someone relevant. Several founders we've worked with have gone on to raise.
How much does it cost to build an MVP in the UK?
It varies a lot, from a few thousand for a basic demo to six figures for a complex platform. With Velocity from Hiyield, you’ll know your cost before we start: £18,000 + VAT for a fully designed, secure MVP, live in four weeks.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on how complex it is. Velocity gets your MVP from idea to live product in four weeks, with a launch date agreed before we start.
How do I know you're any good?
Fair question! Have a look at the products and founder stories above, our awards, our Clutch reviews and the case studies on our website. Then book a strategy call and judge us on the conversation.
