Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about how we work, how we price, and what you can expect from a senior-only engineering team.

About Inventiple

What is Inventiple?

Inventiple is an AI-first software development company. We build startup MVPs, AI products, and custom software for funded founders and scaling teams. Every project is handled by 100% senior engineers — no junior hand-offs.

Where are you based?

We are a globally distributed team. Our clients are based across the US, UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. We work async-first with overlap hours in your timezone.

How long have you been operating?

Since 2020. We've delivered 100+ projects for 50+ clients across industries including FinTech, HealthTech, EdTech, SaaS, and e-commerce.

Engagement & Process

How do I get started?

Book a free 20-minute strategy call at inventiple.com/contact. You'll speak directly with a senior engineer — not a salesperson.

What happens in the discovery phase?

During Week 1 we define your product requirements, design the system architecture, and produce a fixed project quote. You approve scope and cost before we write code.

How do I stay updated on progress?

Every week you attend a live Friday demo. You also have access to the shared project board (Linear / Jira) and a dedicated Slack channel with your team.

Do I need a technical background to work with you?

No. We translate technical decisions into plain language. You make the product decisions; we handle the engineering.

Cost & Timeline

How much does an MVP cost?

Most MVPs land between $20,000 and $45,000 depending on features, platform (web vs mobile), and design complexity. Use our cost estimator (/pricing) for a personalised range.

How long does a typical project take?

Our standard delivery is 8 weeks for an MVP. Larger growth products take 10–14 weeks. Enterprise platforms typically run 16–24 weeks.

Do you offer fixed pricing?

Yes. After discovery we give you a fixed quote. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises. Any additions are quoted separately as change orders.

Can I start with a small budget and scale later?

Yes. Many clients start with an MVP ($20k–$45k), validate with real users, then return for a V2 Growth Product build.

Engineering & Quality

Do you use junior developers?

Never. 100% of code is authored or reviewed by senior engineers with an average of 10+ years of experience. This is not a marketing claim — it's a policy.

What technologies do you build with?

We are framework-agnostic and choose the best tool for your use case. Our most common stack: Next.js / React (frontend), Python / Node.js (backend), PostgreSQL / MongoDB (database), AWS / GCP / Azure (cloud), OpenAI / Anthropic (AI layer).

Will I own the code?

Yes. 100% of the codebase is transferred to your Git repository on delivery. You own everything — code, assets, infrastructure definitions, documentation.

Do you write tests?

Yes. We implement automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end) on all critical paths as a standard part of delivery — not an optional add-on.

How do you handle security?

Every project includes a security review before launch. For regulated industries (HealthTech, FinTech) we can include HIPAA/GDPR/SOC2 compliance support.

AI Development

What kinds of AI products do you build?

We build AI chatbots, autonomous AI agents, RAG systems (custom knowledge bases), LLM-integrated SaaS products, computer vision pipelines, and AI dashboards.

Which AI models do you work with?

OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, Llama 3, and custom fine-tuned models. We select the right model for your use case — not just the most popular one.

Can you integrate AI into my existing product?

Yes. AI integration into an existing codebase typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on complexity.

Do you handle AI infrastructure and scaling?

Yes. We design AI systems for production scale from the start — including vector databases, caching layers, rate limiting, and cost management.

Post-Launch

What support do you offer after launch?

Every project includes 30 days of free bug-fix support. After that, optional retainer plans are available starting at $3,500/month.

Can you maintain and update my product long term?

Yes. We offer maintenance-only plans (security patches, OS updates) and active growth plans (new features every sprint). Many clients work with us for 2+ years.

What if I want to hire an in-house team after launch?

We support this. We'll document the codebase thoroughly and can assist with technical interviews for your in-house hires if needed.
