Has anyone here worked with an MVP development agency? Worth it? Hey everyone!

I’m currently building a startup that combines a simple hardware build with fairly complex software development. My hardware skills are limited, so while I can prototype some physical components, the software side is going to be the bulk of the work.

Recently I came across a few MVP development companies that specialize in helping founders build and iterate quickly, and it seems like it might be more efficient (and less stressful) than trying to do everything on my own. That said, I’m struggling with choosing which development partner to go with. I’d love to hear from anyone who worked with an MVP development agency before, and any recommendations for specific MVP studios or partners you’d trust, please feel free to let me know :)

What I’m roughly looking for:

- Lightweight hardware prototype + sensor integration

- Mobile app and cloud backend development

- Ideally a partner that can help with product strategy + execution (not just coding)

Any help here would be super appreciated! 🙏 Thanks in advance!
