Lana Ashby Rowder

LookingGlass

Before working with Melt, the team had a partial proof of concept but was stuck in a critical stage: without users, they couldn’t raise capital and without a complete product, they couldn’t attract users.

Through the accelerator program, they focused on building the key features needed to launch, move faster, and get to market. Within weeks, they were able to deploy a working mobile app and start onboarding their first users.

If you’re building a startup and feel stuck between:
“not ready to launch” and “need users to grow”
This story will feel very familiar.

Bryan A. Nelson

FitAds

In the world of fitness and advertising, finding innovative solutions can be a challenge.

In a recent podcast interview, entrepreneur Bryan A. Nelson shared his vision for a startup that aims to transform how businesses promote themselves while encouraging healthier lifestyles within the community. This blog post explores that vision, highlighting the key insights shared during the conversation.

The Problem: Advertising in the Restaurant Industry

Bryan A. Nelson identifies a significant gap in the advertising strategies available to restaurants. Traditional methods, such as handing out flyers, often fall short of attracting foot traffic. Nelson’s startup seeks to change that by creating a system where fitness enthusiasts can engage in activities that advertise local businesses.

Nelson outlines specific milestones to measure the success of his startup. His initial goal is to attract at least 50 active participants. By leveraging a strong network of trainers, he aims to create a marketplace that benefits both fitness enthusiasts and local businesses.

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.

+40 Startups count on us.
From launching new ideas to expanding your team’s reach—we’re your reliable tech partner.
