A new startup called Skylark has taken flight today with TNW lending an extra set of wings.
To bring their plans to life,Skylarkhas created an AI-enhanced framework that promises rapid, efficient iteration cycles.
Freelancedevelopersapply the framework to build the MVP.
While they code, Skylarks internal team handles the client acquisition.
Every solution is customised for the founders objectives.
By drawing from a pool of freelancers, Skylark can then find developers that fit each projects specific needs.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
The MVPs are designed to scale in the real world.
Throughout the build, Skylark provides founders with strategic insights and expert support.
And we do that mainly due to our framework.
Kleinveld has strong links to TNW.
He has also chosenTNW Cityfor Skylarks headquarters.
From the Amsterdam office, hes developed a roadmap to quickly deliver MVPs.
The process begins with an assessment of the clients needs and goals.
After setting out the deliverables and timelines, Skylark analyses the market and competition to refine the project plan.
Developers then build a flexible, code-based prototype.
Finally, the prototype is refined into a polished MVP.
Clients also receive the full codebase and advice on how to use it.
Additionally, Skylark offers further guidance on features, design, SEO, and strategy.
The plans aim to solve common problems for non-technical founders.
But there could have been many more.
Countless big ideas never become big businesses, because the minds behind them are short oncodingskills.
Kleinveld has first-hand experience of the issues.
While studying business at the University of Amsterdam, he attempted to code his own projects.
Im not overly technical, and it took me months to build not even MVPs, but just apps.
And it frustrated me, because I had so many ideas, he said.
He discovered that many other entrepreneurs experienced similar problems.
One common issue was that lengthy development cycles led them to miss the ideal time for market entry.
Another was lacking the technical expertise to evaluate and collaborate with developers.
Skylark aims to resolve these problems.
Key to the plans is an array of AI enhancements to the development process.
The event takes place on June 19-20 in Amsterdam.
