Anselme Motcho
Principal & Lead Dev
Most startups fail because they build things nobody wants.
I built FirstMileDev to stop that cycle. We don't just write code; we bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution.
Validation First
We test your riskiest assumptions with real data before investing in heavy development. Efficiency is our core metric.
Scalable Results
Once validated, we build MVPs that are designed to scale, not to be thrown away. Your tech debt is minimized from day one.

Contact Us DirectlyDevelopment is expensive. Marketing a product nobody wants is even more expensive. By spending a small amount on validation (ads + landing page), we save you thousands of dollars and months of time. Most startups fail because they build too much too soon.
For MVPs (Phase 2), we use advanced low-code tools like Bubble, FlutterFlow, or Webflow + Wized for speed. For Scaled Apps (Phase 3), we build custom using the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node.js) or Next.js for maximum performance and ownership.
Absolutely. Once the project is complete and paid for, you own 100% of the IP, source code, and design assets. We believe in being your long-term technical partner, not a gatekeeper.
Validation (Phase 1) takes exactly 2 weeks. A Launchpad MVP (Phase 2) takes between 4 to 6 weeks. Phase 3 scaling is an ongoing partnership based on your growth milestones.
