Free MVP Development for San Francisco.
A focused first release for San Francisco founders and businesses. Apply for a free MVP, deployed for review in seven working days after scope approval and required inputs.
01 /
Choose a workflow relevant to San Francisco
Bay Area founders move fast and expect engineering partners to match: clear communication, strong code review, and product sense rather than ticket-taking. Hiring locally is expensive and slow, so many seed and Series A companies pair a small in-house core with an offshore team for a specific build.

Where our team works
We serve San Francisco remotely from Noida, India. San Francisco is 12.5 to 13.5 hours behind India, so our working day is your night. We keep a daily overlap in your late afternoon or our early morning, and you review completed work at the start of your day.

A review build before a production launch
We start with approved test data and one agreed workflow. Discuss San Francisco's audience, hosting and any sector-specific requirements during scoping. The free MVP does not replace the security, regulatory assessment or wider engineering needed for production.

Questions before your first build.
What is included in the free MVP?
An agreed, limited version of one core workflow, deployed for review. We confirm the screens, functionality, data and exclusions in writing before the build starts. The complete product is a separate paid engagement.
When do the seven working days start?
After we accept the application, agree the scope and receive the required content, access and sample data. Delivery is within seven working days of the agreed kickoff. We confirm the date in writing; applying does not reserve an immediate start.
When do I pay?
There is no upfront development payment for the agreed free MVP. You review the build before deciding on the paid project. Pricing, milestones and any third-party costs are agreed separately before paid work begins.
Who owns the code?
Source-code handover, intellectual property and the review environment's availability are agreed in writing before the build. We explain what you receive during review and what is handed over with the paid project.
What if I decide not to continue?
You owe nothing for the agreed free MVP if you decide not to proceed. Source-code handover and ongoing access to the review deployment are agreed separately; the free build does not automatically include a source-code transfer.
Can every product be built in seven days?
No. The offer covers a focused workflow that fits the agreed sprint. Full ERP rollouts, regulated production systems, complex migrations, public app-store approvals and large integrations require a separate scope and timeline.
Can I apply from outside India?
Yes. Drema's engineering team is based in Noida, India. We agree a remote review schedule, delivery environment and communication plan with international founders before starting.
