Just signed two new MVP projects ($8.8k and $14k)

A few months ago I posted about closing my first client. Since then, things kept moving.

Recently I signed two new projects:

An $8,800 web app for managing gigs and bookings
A $14k mobile app in the LiDAR scanning space

Both are focused on shipping something real, not perfect. Something usable that can be tested with real users.

A few things I’m noticing as I do more of these:

clear scope changes everything. When the problem and boundaries are clear, the project is way smoother.

price follows clarity. Once the scope is tight, pricing stops being awkward.

most founders don’t want “everything”. They want the smallest thing that actually works.

technical choices matter early. Cutting complexity upfront saves weeks later.

trust comes from being honest about limits and tradeoffs, not from promising the world.

I’m still learning a lot with each project and willing to take on more in the future, but it’s interesting to see how much demand there is for well scoped MVPs.

Curious if others here are building or hiring for MVPs right now. Would love to hear what’s worked or not worked for you.
