THE IMPACT WE DELIVER
Why are we doing this?
We know that early-stage startups face a high-risk, high-reward journey. The biggest challenge? Securing funding before building a product.
That’s where we come in. We build a high-quality prototype to help you gain traction—so you can unlock revenue or investment and hire a dedicated development team (with or without us).
That’s why we built the Startup Starter Kit (SSK): a battle-tested foundation with 24 core features—auth, billing, dashboards, AI tools, analytics, and more—so you can move from idea to first customer faster than ever. Unlike cookie-cutter templates, the SSK is handcrafted by a team that works beside you, using clean, modular code and cloud-native tools that scale as you grow.
What you ship with us isn’t throwaway—it’s investor-ready, production-grade software built to evolve.
By partnering with Melt, you:
Accelerate your time to market: Prototypes in 4 weeks, MVPs in 3–5 months.
Reduce cost and risk: Reusable frameworks + fractional CTO leadership avoid expensive rewrites.
Stay focused on the big picture: We handle the dev stack so you can refine your value proposition, build relationships, and raise capital.
Launch investor‑ready products: SSK includes features like dashboards, out-of-the-box integrations (auth, billing, analytics, Artificial Intelligence), and gets you investor-ready with sharp teams who move fast and care deeply.
+30 Startups count on us.
From launching new ideas to expanding your team’s reach—we’re your reliable tech partner.
IN JUST 4 WEEKS
Turn your idea into a useful product
Are you a founder with a game-changing idea but lack the technical team to bring it to life? Every month, we select two startups for a four-week Pro Bono Development program. We believe in backing founders who focus on their business goals while we build products to unlock capital.
