Sourcera: 54 Days from 0 to Enterprise MVP
How fast, high-quality development works with the right system.
The Problem (Week 0–1)
Startup after pitch phase with customer commitments
No MVP, no validated tech setup
Pressure: 12 weeks until enterprise deals
Team: Founder only, no senior developers
The Approach (Week 1–3)
Tech stack locked in 3 days (TypeScript, React, Node, PostgreSQL, AWS)
Team setup: Freelance devs onboarded & mentored
AI tools integrated: Cursor, Claude CLI & MCP to other systems for knowledge bases
Clear architecture: No technical debt, enterprise-ready from day 1
The Execution (Week 3–8)
MVP built with AI-supported development process
2x weekly reviews with founders: Transparent, no surprises
Knowledge transfer continuous: Devs learn best practices
Code quality from first commit: Reviews, architecture docs
The Result (Week 8–9)
54 days: Working, enterprise-ready MVP
First 3 clients: Zalando, Tesa, Phoenix - revenue-ready
Team enablement: Devs can build independently
Technical debt: Zero - clean codebase for scale
This is not typical AI consulting
With me you get a builder & mentor, not PowerPoint strategies.
With Me
I code along and review PRs
Architecture Decisions, not Recommendations
AI Tools as Accelerator, Transparent
Your Team Learns by Doing
No Hidden Costs, Daily/Monthly Basis
Accountability on Deliverables
Remote-first, On-site if Needed
Typical AI Consulting
Only Strategy Documents & Slides
"You should do this" (without proof)
AI Hype without Concrete Use Cases
After I Leave: Knowledge Gap
Long-term Contracts, Overhead Fees
Vague Goals, Long Engagements
Lots of Travel, Little Productive Time
