Marketplace MVP to Full-Scale Platform
From prototype to production in one sprint.
Project Overview
Corvx took a Singapore-based marketplace from working MVP to full-scale, revenue-generating web application. The client had a clear vision and a validated prototype; they needed production-grade engineering—mobile responsiveness, custom functionality, performance optimization, and the infrastructure to handle real traffic. We delivered on schedule and within a startup budget, and the resulting platform drove immediate revenue growth that funded expansion to multiple cities.
About The Client
The client is a Singapore-based startup that had validated its marketplace concept with a functional MVP built by a previous development partner. The prototype proved the market opportunity, but it was not production-ready—performance was poor, the mobile experience was broken, and the codebase had significant technical debt. They needed a partner who could move fast, work within startup constraints, and deliver a platform that could handle real customers and real transactions.
The Challenges
What stood in the way
01
MVP Technical Debt
The existing prototype was built for speed, not quality. The codebase had no tests, inconsistent architecture, and numerous security vulnerabilities. A rewrite was more efficient than a refactor.
02
Startup Budget Constraints
As an early-stage startup, every dollar mattered. The client needed production-quality engineering at a cost structure that a startup could sustain. Traditional agency pricing was out of reach.
03
Market Window Pressure
A competitor had just raised a Series A and was planning to launch in the same market. The client needed to go live within 3 months or risk losing their first-mover advantage.
Our Solutions
How we solved it
Full-Stack Rebuild on Modern Architecture
We rebuilt the platform from the ground up using a modern tech stack—server-side rendered React for SEO and performance, a Node.js API layer, and PostgreSQL for reliable data management. Mobile responsiveness was a core requirement, not an afterthought.
Flexible Engagement Model
We designed an engagement model that fit a startup budget—a small, senior team with no management overhead, transparent time tracking, and weekly priority reviews to ensure every hour was spent on the highest-impact work.
Launch-Ready in 10 Weeks
By reusing validated UX patterns from the MVP and making pragmatic architectural choices, we shipped a production-ready platform in 10 weeks—including payment processing, vendor onboarding, search and filtering, and a review system.
The Results
The platform launched on time and immediately started generating revenue. The transition from MVP to production-grade platform had a measurable impact on the business—the company expanded to multiple cities within its first year and successfully raised its next round of funding.

Our Approach
Startup-Speed Engineering
Week 1-2: Architecture & Planning
2 weeksReviewed the MVP, mapped user journeys, defined the feature set for v1, and made key architecture decisions. No wasted time on over-engineering.
Week 3-8: Core Build
6 weeksParallel frontend and backend development. Vendor onboarding flow, marketplace search, product pages, checkout, and payment integration.
Week 9-10: Polish & Launch
2 weeksPerformance optimization, SEO setup, security hardening, and load testing. App launched to production with monitoring and error tracking.
Post-Launch: Iterate & Expand
OngoingWeekly feature releases based on user analytics. Localization for new markets. Infrastructure scaling as traffic grew.
Core Capabilities
What we brought to the table
Full-Stack Development
Modern SSR architecture with sub-2-second loads and mobile-first responsive design.
Startup Economics
Flexible engagement model—senior team, no overhead, transparent tracking, startup pricing.

10 weeks from kickoff to revenue-generating production platform.
The Methodology
Pragmatic Engineering for Startups
We didn't over-engineer. We made pragmatic choices—using battle-tested tools, reusing validated UX patterns, and focusing relentlessly on the features that would generate revenue fastest. The codebase is clean and extensible, but we didn't build for problems the client doesn't have yet.
