Netguru: speed up development.

Hear from the users faster

A clickable prototype allows you to validate your idea fast and minimize the risk of the product failing. Here's how we do it.
  • Product prototype. We'll deliver a clickable prototype, consisting of up to three features, ready to test user behaviour or show to your investors.
  • Report. We'll offer you all the technical recommendations regarding the architecture. No guesswork needed.
  • Comprehensive roadmap. You'll get all the technical know-how and usability testing results brought together for a clear picture of how to progress your app as part of an effective, long-term development strategy.
  • Further development. We'll provide you with an estimate and a plan for continued development services.

Why seek support with prototyping?

Businesses that we’ve worked with enjoyed quicker product demos for investors, improved user experience, and clear roadmaps with tech know-how and usability testing results. We helped validate product ideas for:

In our clients' words

We came together with a leading company in the life science industry to introduce an AI R&D Assistant to their chemical identification process.
  • Excellence and speed. It’s rare to get both, and Netguru delivers.

Delivering a prototype to test an initial idea with investors

Vendr, shaping the future of SaaS buying, came to Netguru with an idea for a web app that would simplify handling numerous request for proposal processes.

They wanted to quickly test the prototype to verify the concept before investing time and money in actual development. We created a clickable prototype with 3 dashboards in 3 weeks.

Mobile prototype delivered from scratch in under 6 weeks

At Netguru we believe in fast idea validation. That’s why we've created a combination of a clickable app prototype with a proof of concept. Focus? Alzheimer's patient management app – Neuronest.

We wanted to show how within 6 weeks an initial idea can be brought to life to allow investors to see its future potential and to enable gathering valuable user feedback for further development.
