A first release people can use: focus on one valuable user journey, test it against agreed requirements, and deploy to production.
Your engineering multiplier
Launch your MVP. Own what comes next.
Turn your idea into a usable first product without becoming a technical founder. Get senior engineering judgment, a defined project price, production deployment, and the code and documentation to choose your next development partner.
Senior decisions, explained: decide what to build now, what to defer, and which technical tradeoffs fit your users and budget.
A handoff you can use: custom source code, deployment notes, and documentation. Stay with Somnio or continue with another developer.
Engineering capacity, not just development hours
Somnio Tech helps nontechnical founders launch general MVPs and helps existing teams extend their software. Your engineering multiplier means access to senior judgment, implementation, testing, deployment, and handoff—not a promised multiple of revenue or output. AI-assisted delivery supports the engineering process; AI product features are optional.
Scope → build → test → deploy → hand off
We agree on the first user journey, inclusions, exclusions, acceptance checks, and buyer responsibilities. Weekly demos make progress visible. Testing and production deployment prepare the agreed release for use. Source code and documentation give your next developer a starting point for future iterations. Capacity and scaling are designed for scoped workloads, not unlimited growth.
Know the commitment before development starts
General MVP price and timeline are scoped individually. The proposal defines deliverables, milestones, assumptions, and how changes are priced. Hosting, APIs, and third-party licenses are separate unless included explicitly. The focused AI MVP specialization has guidance starting at $20K with a 12-week target for qualifying scopes; those terms do not apply to every MVP.
Own the custom code. Choose the next step.
Upon full payment, you own custom code developed specifically for the project. Open-source and third-party components retain their licenses; pre-existing tools remain subject to the agreement. An optional retainer can cover separately agreed maintenance or new work. It is not required for ownership or for continuing with another developer. The signed agreement controls final ownership and warranty terms.
For 30 days after delivery, Somnio will correct verified defects at no charge when custom code does not function as specified in the agreed requirements. This excludes new features, changed requirements, and third-party service changes.
Experience shipping operational software
Our published operational projects show engineering decisions and usable systems—not a claimed history of greenfield founder MVPs or ownership handoffs. CateredFit routing documents an 88% routing-cost reduction. A food-processing PWA documents a 95% app-maintenance cost reduction after replacing two native apps. CRM automation estimates 960–1,920 annual data-entry hours saved (rounded extrapolation); 3x order volume and approximately 0% data-entry errors are client-reported. These are source-only case-study accounts, not independently audited measurements or promised results for your product.

Founder questions
What does Somnio Tech build?
Somnio helps nontechnical founders launch general MVPs and helps existing teams extend software. Delivery covers agreed scope, implementation, testing, production deployment, and custom-code handoff. AI features are optional.
Can Somnio automate data entry and reports?
Yes. We map the workflow, systems, handoffs, and data sources first. Then we build automation that removes repeat steps and stays easy for your team to understand.
What does a project cost?
General MVP price and timeline are scoped individually. The AI MVP specialization has guidance starting at $20K with a 12-week target for qualifying focused scopes only. Hosting, API usage, and third-party licenses are separate unless included explicitly.
How fast can Somnio deliver?
General MVP timing follows the agreed release scope, integrations, testing needs, and buyer dependencies. Your proposal defines milestones and launch criteria; AI package timing is not a general MVP guarantee.
Who owns the software after launch?
Upon full payment, you own project-specific custom code. Third-party components retain their licenses; pre-existing tools are subject to the agreement. An optional retainer is not required for ownership or continuing with another developer. The signed agreement controls final terms.
Where is Somnio Tech located?
Somnio Tech is based in Louisiana and works with clients across the United States. Projects include remote collaboration, clear milestones, and senior developer review.
