This month, Sheffield Digital member Verticode officially launched its 100th Minimum Viable Product (MVP). This boosts its position as one of the fastest-growing MVP Studios helping non-technical founders bring their startup ideas to life. We are delighted to share this news from the brilliant and growing team at Verticode – here’s the press release with more information.
Launched in 2022, Verticode was founded with a mission to make early-stage product development faster, more affordable, and more accessible. In just three years, the Sheffield-based MVP Studio has now launched 100 MVPs for founders across the globe, with projects spanning industries from FinTech and PropTech to HealthTech and EdTech.
Unlike traditional development agencies, Verticode works closely with first-time founders, often acting as a product partner as well as a build team. Their in-house, MVP toolkit has helped dramatically shorten time-to-market, allowing founders to validate ideas, raise funding, and start onboarding users without spending a year in development. Founders are able to launch an affordable MVP in just 13 weeks.
Some of Verticode’s most successful MVPs to date include:
● Money Squirrel: This UK-based fintech startup set out to solve a common pain point for small business owners: cash flow management. In just two weeks, Verticode delivered an MVP that automated VAT calculations, expense forecasting, and account transfers. The MVP played a key role in securing pre-seed investment and a spot in a top fintech accelerator, with Verticode’s business-first approach and seamless integration of Open Banking tech setting the foundation for a confident soft launch.
● Boomerang®: A standout in the circular economy space, Boomerang® helps people recover lost personal items using smart nametags and a seamless app experience. With a focus on both convenience and sustainability, the UK-based startup partnered with Verticode to build a sleek, scalable MVP in just two weeks. The platform has already seen early traction, reuniting users with lost belongings and setting a strong foundation for future growth.
● BuildrFi: A US-based platform transforming how the construction industry manages cash flow and capital procurement. With Verticode, BuildrFi launched a fully functional MVP in just two weeks – a fast, polished solution that helped secure their place in the prestigious TechStars 2024 program. Designed to simplify complex financial processes in construction, the MVP has already gained early traction and provided a solid launchpad for further product development.
From cutting-edge AI tools to B2B SaaS platforms, Verticode’s first 100 MVPs reflect the growing demand for lean product validation and the increasing number of non-technical founders breaking into tech.
“We started Verticode because we knew there was a better way to get early-stage products off the ground,” said co-founder Tom Green. “Now, seeing how many of our MVPs have helped founders raise funding, get onto accelerator programmes, or pivot confidently is what makes this milestone so rewarding.”
Looking ahead, Verticode plans to expand its team, forge new strategic partnerships, and continue advancing its proprietary technology – all while working towards ambitious revenue targets for the remainder of the year.
