Not sure where to start with your software idea? Book a free 1–2 hour session with one of Shape’s experienced product thinkers. We’ll help you clarify your idea, define the MVP scope, and map out a clear roadmap — so you can move forward with confidence. Usually £500, completely free for new clients.
It’s been in your head for months. You know it could work, but you don’t know what to build first, how much it should cost, or who to trust.
Friends say build it yourself. Agencies say you need £50k. AI tools promise the world. You need a clear, unbiased perspective from someone who’s done this before.
You want to validate the idea before investing. But every conversation with an agency feels like a sales pitch, not genuine advice.
You’ve heard the term, but you’re not sure what to include, what to leave out, or how to scope something that’s good enough to launch.
The Launchpad Sprint is a free working session with a senior product engineer. We ask the right questions, pressure-test your idea, and can quickly vibe-code a rough prototype direction with you so you can see what makes sense before spending heavily.
We help you sharpen the core problem, who it is for, and whether now is the right time to build.
You get practical guidance on the smallest useful version to start with, instead of trying to build everything at once.
Where helpful, we can sketch and vibe-code early concepts together so you can quickly explore direction and feasibility.
We flag typical founder pitfalls around scope, tooling, and delivery so you avoid costly early decisions.
You leave with clearer direction and sensible next moves, whether you continue with Shape or take the idea forward another way.
Pick a time that works for you. The booking takes 30 seconds and there’s nothing to prepare — just bring your idea.
In a 1 hour session, we’ll explore your idea, define the MVP scope, map user journeys, and flag risks. You’ll work directly with a senior product thinker.
You leave with a clear plan covering scope, priorities, and next steps. No obligation to build with Shape.
