Speed is Safety
The biggest risk to a startup is not 'bad code'. It is slow feedback. If it takes you 6 months to launch, you have burned 6 months of runway (time/money) without learning if anyone wants your product.
The Protocol
Here is how we execute at Orb21:
Week 1: The Razor (Scope Down) Most founders want to build a spaceship. We force you to build a skateboard. - **Cut 80% of features.** - Keep only the 'Core Value Loop'.
Week 2: The Logic (No Code / Low Code) Before writing complex backend logic, can we simulate it? Can we use a spreadsheet? Can we use a manual process behind a nice landing page?
Week 3: The Build (Contributors) This is where Orb21 shines. We deploy matched contributors to build the specific, scoped components. - Frontend: React/Next.js - Backend: Supabase/Firebase
Week 4: The Launch No 'Beta Waitlists'. We ship to real users. If it breaks, we fix it. But we must ship.
Summary
If you are embarrassed by your first version, you launched too late. We help you get embarrassed fast.
