How L&Q Stepped in as Tech Leadership and Development Engine for a Visionary Startup

In 2022, an innovative Israel-based startup, led by just its CEO and COO, approached L&Q. They had a strong product vision and an existing HTML prototype. Their critical hurdle was the lack of an in-house technical team and the urgent need for a trusted partner to rapidly develop a functional Minimal Viable Product (MVP) within a strict seed budget to validate their concept and secure investor funding.

L&Q was engaged as their trusted technology partner to provide a complete launch solution, focusing on:

  • End-to-End MVP Design and Development

  • Rapid Delivery within a minimal seed budget

  • Knowledge Transition and onboarding support for the client's future technical team

1. The Challenge: Bridging the Technical Gap for Rapid Growth

The visionary founders required more than just developers; they needed a trusted "Launchpad" partner to establish a world-class foundation while adhering to strict financial constraints.

  • Speed to Market: Quickly build the MVP within a constrained timeframe.

  • Cost-Efficiency: Scope and complete the MVP development within a small seed budget.

  • Technical Excellence: Develop a robust, scalable architecture and system design, anticipating future growth.

  • Tech Leadership: Provide leadership to ensure and oversee the standards, processes, quality, and governance of the entire development project.

  • Trust and IP: Ensure the partner was trusted and protected their Intellectual Property (IP).

  • Enabling Self-Reliance: Provide comprehensive knowledge transfer and help on-board their future technical team, ensuring they could become self-sustained.
