Ask HN: What do founders want from a one person dev studio?
https://www.launchcraft.studio/
The idea came from a pattern I kept seeing with early-stage founders:
They don’t usually struggle with ideas.
They struggle with execution speed.
Either they:
-hire agencies that take months
-or try to build themselves and get stuck midway
I’ve been focusing on helping with:
-MVPs
-landing pages
-small SaaS products
Mostly handling everything end-to-end (frontend, backend, deployment).
What I’m still trying to figure out is:
What do founders actually expect from a setup like this?
Some tradeoffs I’ve noticed:
-speed vs long-term scalability
-polish vs shipping quickly
-fixed scope vs iterative builds
If you’ve worked with freelancers / agencies / solo devs before:
-what worked well?
-what didn’t?
-what would make this actually valuable to you?
Trying to refine this into something genuinely useful rather than just another “dev service”.
