About MVPit
Builders who also answer the phone.
MVPit is a New Zealand technology company with two jobs: building first versions of software products, and keeping the IT behind a business running.
Why both?
Most new products do not fail because the code was bad. They stall because the first version tried to do too much, or because nobody was looking after the unglamorous parts once it launched: the hosting, the email, the accounts, the backups.
Most small businesses, meanwhile, have an IT supplier who can reset a password but cannot build the tool that would save the team ten hours a week.
MVPit exists to close that gap. The name says it: MVP for the products we build, IT for the systems we run, and “MVP it” as a way of working. Do the smallest useful thing first, then improve it.
How we work
Four habits we do not compromise on.
Start small
The fastest way to find out whether something works is to put a small version of it in front of real people. That applies to products and to IT changes alike.
Say it plainly
Technology is full of words designed to make simple things sound hard. We explain what we are doing and why, in language you would use yourself.
Leave it better documented
Nobody should be locked in by missing passwords or unexplained code. Everything we touch is written down and handed over.
Recommend less
If an off-the-shelf tool or a cheaper option does the job, we will say so. Trust is worth more than a bigger invoice.
