Top Startup Product Development ConsultantsProduct Development
You need a technical partner who ships fast. We deliver production MVPs in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing.
IRPR is a team of senior product development consultants who build software for startups. We use React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go, and AWS to ship production-ready products fast.
Every project starts with a fixed-price Roadmap phase (2 weeks), then a build phase of 8-12 weeks. Prices range from $80K to $250K depending on scope and compliance needs like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2.
Startups hire us when their CTO is over capacity, their in-house team lacks senior engineers, or they need a complete MVP before raising seed funding. We also work with funded Series A/B companies launching new product lines.

Why startups choose IRPR as their product development consultant
We treat your product as our own. Every codebase, architecture decision, and deployment is built to last.
IRPR has shipped over 200 products for startups across 50 countries. Our senior engineers average 10+ years of experience. We do not hire juniors. Every consultant writes production code and reviews peers.
Our fixed-price model means you know the cost before we start. The Roadmap phase (week 2) produces a detailed spec and price. No hourly billing, no surprises.
Generic dev shop vs. IRPR: what startup founders get
Not all product development consultants are equal. Here is the real difference.
Many agencies pitch fast but deliver slow. They use junior developers, change scope, and bill by the hour. You end up with tech debt and no clear ownership.
IRPR works differently. Every project has a senior engineer as the lead. We spec everything in week 2, lock the price, and ship on time.
- Uses freelancers and junior devs
- No fixed price – hourly billing
- Scope creep without approval
- Ships code you cannot maintain
- No compliance expertise
- Slow response times
- Senior engineers only (10+ yr avg)
- Fixed price after Roadmap phase
- Scope lock with change control
- Full source code ownership
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
- Slack-based, 4h response SLA
How our startup product development consulting works
A structured 4-step process from idea to release. No fluff.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call. We learn your idea, market, and constraints. Then we move into a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define the entire product scope, tech stack, and fixed price.
The Build phase lasts 8-12 weeks. You get a production MVP with CI/CD, monitoring, and full documentation. We deploy to AWS, GCP, or your own servers.
What ships by default on every startup product development project
These are not optional. Every project includes them at no extra cost.
We believe in shipping production-ready code, not prototypes. Every deliverable is built to be maintained by your future team or by us.
No hidden line items. No extra fees for CI/CD or monitoring.
- Source code in your GitHub/Bitbucket repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Dockerized application for local development
- Sentry error tracking
- Datadog or Grafana monitoring
- API documentation (Postman or Swagger)
- Architecture diagram (C4 model)
- Deployment runbook
- Admin panel with user management
- Stripe or payment integration ready

Full code ownership
You own every line of code we write. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in. Source code is in your repos from the first commit.
Compliance built-in, not bolted on
We have shipped HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 projects. Our teams know the controls, audits, and encryption from the start.
8-12 week MVPs, not year-long projects
We design for speed. Most products go from idea to production in 8-12 weeks. You get to market fast without cutting corners.
Global team with timezone overlap
Our team spans 50 countries but we align working hours to your timezone. Daily standups and Slack responses within 4 hours.
