When a previous developer or agency left you with a half-built or broken product, we step in, figure out what you actually have, and get it to the finish line.
It's one of the most common calls we get: a founder paid to have a product built, and now it's stalled, buggy, or abandoned — the developer went quiet, the agency moved on, and no one can say what actually works. MVP Rescue is for exactly this.
Before promising anything, we assess what you have — the code, the accounts, the infrastructure — and give you a straight answer: what's salvageable, what isn't, and the fastest realistic path to a working product. Sometimes finishing the existing build is right; sometimes rebuilding the core is genuinely cheaper. We'll tell you which, even when it's not the answer you hoped for.
Picking up someone else's code well is a specific skill — reading unfamiliar systems, spotting landmines, and making a calm plan instead of a rewrite for its own sake. We do this regularly: audit existing code, improve what's there, and move it forward without drama.
Founders with a half-finished product, a build that broke after the developer left, or an inherited codebase nobody understands. Starting fresh instead? See MVP Development.
Can you take over a project another developer started?
Yes — that's exactly what MVP Rescue is. We regularly pick up projects mid-stream, audit the code, and move them to launch.
What if my old developer still controls the accounts?
We help you recover ownership of your code, domain, and cloud accounts as part of the rescue. Owning your own keys is non-negotiable.
Should I fix the existing build or start over?
That's the first thing our audit answers. Sometimes finishing is fastest; sometimes rebuilding the core is cheaper. We give you an honest recommendation.
Tell us what you're trying to build and we'll give you an honest, jargon-free scope and estimate. No obligation.
