Agile Delivery
We bring products to life with our blend of speed, craftmanship, and collaboration with your users.
Why do we choose the Agile method?
- To avoid wasting budget on a slow, expensive, and misguided specification phase
- To cut time-to-market and ensure rapid release cycles
- To maximise the role your users play in shaping your product
- To ensure smooth, transparent, and meaningful development
Topflight’s flavor of agile relies on continually refining your product vision, while simultaneously building, delivering and testing viable versions to deliver a winning product.
We put the ‘Minimum’ in MVP.
The Agile approach saves you hundreds of thousands on any features your users don’t need, and instead focuses on perfecting the ones your users love and engage with.

than working code
“If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late”—said Reid Hoffman of Linkedin.
This used to be the way: Launch the MVP fast, ugly as it may be, because many ideas didn’t exist yet.
Today, there’s an app for just about everything. It’s not enough anymore to have a working app to show investors or early adopters.
First, you need to validate your design and every feature with real user data, to get investors on board for development.
Second, you need to create a minimum version of the app that users will still love, to outcompete the 30 other similar apps they might consider—before you run out of money.
Third, you need to continue iterating the product to keep users engaged, and make sure the technology remains fast and robust for you as traffic grows.
Oh, and you still need to have enough left in the bank for user acquisition and sales. Will you?
With the average $250-$500k seed fund, if a firm quotes you $250k – $500k for development, you are dead in the water.
As a non-technical founder who learned to code to build my own idea, I realized early on that code is just one part of a successful product (although it’s one you can’t get wrong!). That’s why I built a team of Navy SEALs: designers, developers, founders, and product owners with a proven track record of product success, all working together as a team to provide vastly better value than your average 50%-equity technical cofounder. And for the last 6 years, we’ve been helping our clients raise nearly $200 million, and staying on for multi-year retainers to help them continue to grow.
We use the Navy SEALs analogy a lot, because we believe we’re only as good as every single person on the team. If we work together, you’re part of that team. We’ll mix our expertise with your drive, your niche know-how, and your understanding of your users’ needs and desires to deliver a product that achieves your business goals. And beyond.
