Get a technical launch partner for your MVP.

Quincy Pilot pairs you with Usman Zia — former Senior Engineer at AMD — and a dedicated engineering team to design, build, and launch your MVP in weeks, not months.

Founder-friendly, capital-efficient MVP builds for creators and early-stage founders, starting from $8,000 USD.

Meet your technical launch partner (without the freelancer chaos).

Usman Zia acts as your technical launch partner: he leads product strategy, system architecture, and key decisions, while the Quincy Pilot engineering team handles design and development. You stay focused on your vision, distribution, and customers, while we own the path from idea to launched MVP.

Product Leadership

Clear product strategy, thoughtful architecture, and ruthless prioritization so your v1 actually ships — instead of drowning in features.

Engineering Execution

A focused engineering team that designs and builds using modern stacks and AI-assisted workflows, optimized for speed and quality.

Founder Focus

You spend your time on vision, audience, and growth. We handle the product planning, engineering execution, and delivery.

Quincy Pilot is a done-for-you MVP studio that feels like having a technical cofounder and engineering team on your side — without needing to hire full-time developers or manage a patchwork of freelancers.

Silicon Valley–level product thinking
We think like founders and PMs, not just coders taking orders.
Battle-tested engineering team
Full-stack engineers using modern tools, shipping fast while keeping standards high.
One accountable owner
You work directly with Usman, who owns delivery, communication, and quality end-to-end.

How It Works — From idea to launched MVP in a few focused, accountable steps.

From idea to launched MVP in a few focused, accountable steps.

01

Vision & Fit Call

Clarity on whether and what to build

A 30–45 minute call to unpack your idea, audience, business model, and goals.

02

MVP Blueprint

A crisp, written scope

We translate your idea into a lean, launch-ready v1 with core user journeys, a focused feature shortlist, and a rough architecture and recommended tech stack.

03

Build Sprint

Execution without drama or micromanagement

The Quincy Pilot team sets up repos and environments, implements front-end flows and core features, integrates payments, auth, and basic analytics where needed, and provides regular updates and review checkpoints.

04

Launch & Hand-off

A launch-ready product in real users' hands

We push your MVP live, polish and fix bugs, hand over code, documentation, and all relevant accounts/access, and offer optional ongoing support or iteration if you want to keep working together.

Usman Zia

Founder & Technical Launch Partner

Former Senior Design Verification Engineer at AMD

Former Senior Design Verification Engineer at AMD, where he worked on complex silicon and system-level products. At Quincy Pilot, Usman leads product strategy, system architecture, and key decision-making. He combines engineering depth with product thinking, staying hands-on in scoping, reviewing, and guiding every build so your MVP feels intentional, not stitched together.

Quincy Pilot Engineering Team

Full-stack engineers & collaborators

Global team using modern, founder-friendly stacks

A small, focused group of full-stack engineers and collaborators, working as a global product team using modern stacks and AI-assisted development workflows. The team is optimized to deliver Bay Area-level quality without Bay Area-level burn, reusing proven patterns and infrastructure wherever possible to ship fast and keep things maintainable.

Why work with Quincy Pilot instead of freelancers or a big agency?

Technical cofounder mindset

We don't just take requirements. We challenge assumptions, sharpen scope, and think about your users, metrics, and runway.

Global team at founder-friendly cost

You get a lead technical partner plus a capable engineering team — for less than the cost of hiring a full-time senior engineer.

End-to-end build coverage

From MVP Blueprint to implementation, launch, and hand-off, we handle the product and engineering execution so you don't have to.

Clear scopes and fixed pricing

Fixed-scope MVP engagements with defined milestones and deliverables, so you know what you're paying for and when you'll get it.

You own the codebase

Everything is built in modern, widely used stacks. You own the repo, infrastructure, and IP, making it easy to hire your own team later or keep working with us.

What we like to build

Creator platforms – Membership apps, gated content tools, and digital products for audiences.

Marketplaces / booking tools – Two-sided platforms that connect buyers and sellers or manage bookings.

Vertical SaaS – Focused tools that help a specific niche do one thing dramatically better.

Pricing philosophy

Fixed-scope, fixed-fee MVP builds starting from $8,000 USD.

Designed to come in under the annual cost of hiring a senior engineer.

Milestone-based payments tied to real progress and deliverables, not open-ended hourly billing.

Why build now

AI-accelerated development means high-quality MVPs can be built faster than ever — if you have the right partner.

Waiting to “find a technical cofounder” can cost months or years of momentum.

A real product in the wild will teach you more than endless planning or pitch decks.

FAQ

  • Do you use modern, scalable stacks? Yes. We typically use Next.js, TypeScript, and modern backends, with AI tooling and services where it makes sense. The goal is a stack that's fast to develop and easy for future engineers to work with.
  • What's the typical timeline for an MVP? Most MVPs land in the 4–8 week range, depending on complexity and how quickly we can align on scope and decisions.
  • What exactly do I own at the end? You own the codebase, infrastructure accounts, documentation, and IP. We build so you're not locked in — you can continue with Quincy Pilot or hire your own team.
  • Can you work with my existing team? Yes. We can either own the v1 build end-to-end or collaborate with existing designers/engineers, as long as one person (Usman) remains accountable for the overall product build.
