Experiment to Innovate
Build Better Products
We work with founders, creatives, and innovators to build great products and digital experiences.
Our team members are serial entrepreneurs who have founded & run their own technology startups. So, we know the drill and have built our teams, tools, & tech to specifically help startups launch & thrive.
Startups are risky. Using our experience from working with dozens of startups, we can help you apply strategies & tactics to systematically test your riskiest assumptions to de-risk your business model over time.
Not only can we design your interactive prototype, we can also run user interviews, develop your Minimum Viable Product (MVP), craft your go-to-market strategy, & execute your launch plan.
The Art of the Start
We love the thrill of bringing new ideas to life, and we’re good at it!
We meet you where you are in your entrepreneurial journey
In Strategy, we want to learn everything and anything about your
entrepreneurial vision.
Then, with your needs, goals, and mission in mind, we will
work with you to draw a product roadmap and create a go-to-market strategy.
→
In Design, we bring the product concept to life by making it
visual.
Putting ourselves in the users' shoes, we envision the user journey, sketch
their experience, and create an interactive prototype to test the product flow.
→
In Development, we transform Design into a living and breathing
Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
With the MVP, our entrepreneur can now go to market,
talk to their target audience, gather user feedback, and prove their concept.

Hear from our clients about their experience with us
Rhonda Dolan - Founder & CEO of Udo
”Working with Lean Start Lab has been very effective for CitySmart. Because of our relationship, I was able to leverage our new direction with a VC fund and accelerator that funded us with $200,000. Also helped us get to a significant growth stage where we have a product that clients can use with minimal issues and big results.”
Donald Hawkins
Founder and CEO of CitySmart
“Seeing your idea come to life - actually getting something on a computer screen that looks really, really nice - is by far the most exciting part of bringing the concept to fruition.”
Lauren Lawrence
Founder & CEO of Stenovate
“Working with Lean Start Lab to really start to define the users, the user flows, and to get a visual prototype has allowed me to see my business in a different way and communicate it more effectively. And as a result, I refined my pitch and received some grant funding.”
Rhonda Dolan
Founder & CEO of Udo
“We have a product now. We can show people that it’s possible. We can do all this stuff just by logging into your web browser. You’re able to create models, run them, and see the results. This helps people see that it’s possible. The next step is to validate the product and prove that people are willing to pay for it. So, the next goal is to build a proof-of-concept product and get pilots.”
Elango Thevar
Founder & CEO of Blockchain Water
”We actually have something that makes people take us seriously as a company. Now I can pull my phone out and put it in front of them [investors], open it up and show them it exists. It brings more of a wow factor.”
Andrew Tanner
Founder & CEO of LiveK
”You meet with other people and it feels very vague when things will happen and what you get as far as deliverables. We really liked how with that structured 3-week timeline you were gonna have the prototype in hand. And so, we knew what we were paying for when we signed up with them.”
Holly Mihalovich
Founder & CEO of ShopCircle
”The team here is always very enthusiastic and easy to work with. They push back and ask insightful questions. I like how, when I over complicate things, they can break it down a lot easier”.
Sunti Wathanacharoen
Founder & CEO of Pulmonaer Analytics
”To get a prototype that looks just like an app requires a professional touch, like what Lean Start Lab has.”
Douglas Franklin
Founder & CEO of BNGO
”You guys are young entrepreneurs and are willing to get things done verses a larger firm that goes at a much slower pace. Working with big guys there are all kinds of roadblocks. They’re so set in their ways and unwilling to change. To them, we came off as a small fish and didn’t really get the kind of attention Lean Start Lab gives us. You have gone above and beyond to meet our needs.”
Ben Hammes
CEO of Chain of Trust Technologies (CoTT)
”Beyond excited to be working with the creative & talented team at Lean Start Lab. If you have a big project (or small) and need an experienced team to not only take ownership in your vision but execute within time constraints this is the team for you. 5 Stars & highly recommend!”
Reggie Gray
CEO of Mirro
”Lean Start Lab’s work was top notch. Their understanding of digital technologies helped them meet all deadlines. They kept the project moving and on budget throughout the engagement. The team’s high-quality deliverables made them a valuable partner.”
Benjie Lewis
Founder and CEO of Benjie's List
”Their customer service was impeccable—it showed they were really there for us.”
Bianca Fennix
