You can go from a blank idea to a working MVP in 14 days for roughly $101 in the first month.
A practical stack could look like this:
- Perplexity for market and competitor research
- Claude Code for prototyping and development
- Google Stitch AI or Recraft for design
- Supabase for database and backend
- Vercel for hosting
- Clerk for authentication
- Stripe for payments
- Namecheap for the domain
- Notion for documentation
- Resend for transactional emails
- PostHog and Sentry for analytics and error tracking
Most of these tools have free tiers that are enough to launch a real prototype, onboard users, process payments and see where people drop off.
The main mistake is still the same: founders spend six months building infrastructure before confirming that anyone needs the product.
Launch the rough version, start charging and let the first ten customers influence what comes next.
