Industry
Startups & SaaS
Ship the smallest thing that proves the idea. Then earn the rest.
MeetOnChai Studio builds MVPs and SaaS products for founders in Nepal, India and worldwide. We scope until it's uncomfortable, build in 2-week sprints you can see on a live preview link, and usually ship an MVP in 4 to 8 weeks. Several of our MVPs are still under wraps while their founders launch, so we're happy to talk specifics on a call.
The problem
What gets in the way in startups & saas.
- 01
Scope that keeps growing
Every feature feels essential before launch. Ten of them later, the runway is gone and nothing has met a real user.
- 02
Picking a stack you'll regret
Choose too exotic and hiring hurts. Choose too simple and you rebuild at the first real customer. The trade-off is rarely explained plainly.
- 03
Agencies that vanish after launch
A handover zip and a goodbye email is not a product. Founders need someone accountable when the first real bugs show up.
- 04
SaaS plumbing eats the budget
Auth, billing, roles, emails and admin take more time than the feature that makes you different, unless someone has built them before.
What we build
Software built for how this industry works.
- 01
Hard-scoped MVPs
A written scope with what's in, what's out, and why. We'd rather cut a feature now than miss a launch.
- 02
Multi-tenant SaaS products
Workspaces, roles, subscriptions and admin set up properly, so the second customer doesn't need a rewrite.
- 03
Subscription billing
Stripe or Razorpay for plans, trials and invoices, with webhooks handled so access and billing never disagree.
- 04
AI features that do real work
LLM features aimed at a task users actually repeat, not a chatbot bolted on for the pitch deck.
- 05
Mobile companions
React Native apps alongside the web product when your users genuinely live on their phones.
- 06
Post-launch iteration
Bug fixes for 30 days, then ongoing sprints or support as you learn what users want.

Your IP, protected from day one

Privacy basics built in
Privacy policy, consent where needed, data export and deletion paths. We design for GDPR-style expectations when you have users in Europe.

FAQ
Startups & SaaS questions.
How fast can you ship an MVP?
Most MVPs take 4 to 8 weeks. The real answer depends on how much we cut during scoping, and we cut a lot. You see working software every two weeks on a live preview link, not a big reveal at the end.
Why can't I see your startup case studies?
Several MVPs we've built are under NDA while their founders launch. We publish when clients clear it. On a call we can walk you through scope, timelines and what got cut, without naming names.
Fixed price or time and materials?
Fixed price suits a well-defined MVP. Sprint budgets suit a product that's still finding its shape. After the chai call and scoping, we recommend one and explain why.
Will I own the code?
Yes. The repository, hosting and third-party accounts are yours, and we hand over docs at launch. If you hire an in-house team later, they pick up where we left off.
Can you add AI to my product without rebuilding it?
Usually, yes. We plug LLM features into existing apps for a specific job, like answering repeat support questions or extracting data from documents. If AI isn't the right tool for your problem, we'll say so.
