B2B SaaS Bay Area 9 weeks

Shipped a B2B analytics SaaS MVP in 9 weeks — closed first $400K ARR pre-launch

An early-stage founding team had design partners lined up but no engineering. We took them from a Figma sketch to a live, billed product in nine weeks — auth, multi-tenant data, billing, and a polished onboarding flow.

Client identity withheld. All figures, timelines, and tactics are from a real engagement.

The challenge

What they were up against.

1
Five enterprise design partners waiting on a working product to sign LOIs
2
No in-house engineers — founders were ex-finance, not technical
3
Multi-tenant data isolation and SOC2-readable architecture required from day one
4
Stripe billing with usage-based metering and seat add-ons

The work

How we shipped their product.

Step 01

One-week discovery sprint

Mapped the full product surface, cut scope to a billable MVP, and locked an opinionated stack: Next.js, Postgres on Neon, Stripe billing, Clerk auth.

Step 02

Design + engineering in parallel

Designer and lead engineer paired daily. Every screen shipped behind a feature flag within 48 hours of the Figma being signed off.

Step 03

Multi-tenant from day one

Row-level security in Postgres, per-tenant audit logs, and an admin console for the founders to provision pilots without touching code.

Step 04

Billing + onboarding polish

Stripe-metered usage, a 4-step onboarding wizard, and an empty-state walkthrough designed to convert the first 'aha' moment in under 5 minutes.

The outcome

What it meant for the business.

Founders raised a $2.4M seed round on the back of the live product and pilot revenue
Hired a CTO 6 months post-launch with a clean handoff document and zero rewrites
Codebase passed an external security review on the first pass — no high or critical findings
Product became the team's daily-driver tool for their own ops within month one

"Envert didn't just build the product — they built the bar. We're still shipping on top of their architecture two years later."
