You have a strong idea. We shape it into a clear path to a digital product.
For Startups
decivo helps startups make ideas tangible early, test assumptions with clickable prototypes, and develop a meaningful first product version from there.
- Something tangible for investors, users, or first conversations
- See more clearly what your first version really needs to do
- Test first, then move cleanly into development

Clarity firstBuild smart
Most startups don't lack ideas. They lack clarity for the first real step.
The business idea is there. Maybe you already have investor conversations, initial market reactions, or simply the pressure to have something to show. But often, clarity is still missing about what should be built first digitally.
What does the first prototype need to show? What really belongs in version one — and what can wait? How do you explain it to co-founders, investors, or developers so everyone sees the same thing?
That's exactly where decivo helps.
- Idea exists
- Product is still blurry
- Development would be premature
decivo is especially relevant when you're in one of these situations
You have investor meetings, but nothing to show yet
The idea is there, but for conversations you're missing a clear first draft you can show and explain.
You have a strong business idea, but no technical know-how on the team
You need someone who can translate your idea into an understandable digital product.
You want to talk to freelancers or an agency, but the brief is still too vague
Before anything gets built, it needs to be clear what the first version really needs to do.
You notice your first version is getting way too big
You need a clear boundary so your MVP doesn't turn into a wish list.
What you actually create with decivo
decivo doesn't stop at the prototype. Once clarity is established, we can also guide the technical validation and continue developing the product together with you.
A clickable prototype you can test and show
We make your idea tangible early so you can discuss and validate core assumptions with users, stakeholders, or investors.
More clarity about what your first version really needs
From the prototype and feedback, it becomes clearer what belongs in version one, what's still open, and what can consciously come later.
A reliable foundation for technical validation and MVP
Once the direction is set, we can more realistically assess technical feasibility, integrations, and effort — and develop a meaningful MVP from there.
What you'll be better at afterward
After working together, you won't just have more clarity in your head — you'll have a significantly better foundation for your next steps.
- show your idea in a tangible way
- test assumptions earlier
- speak more clearly with investors
- plan your first version more realistically
- brief developers or implementation partners more cleanly
- move into development with less risk
Why this matters before development and investor conversations
For investor conversations
Your idea feels more tangible when you don't just talk about it but show what you want to build.
For the first version
Without a clear boundary, version 1 quickly becomes too big, too expensive, or too vague.
For later development
The less clarity you start with, the higher the risk of having to rebuild a lot later.
Für Innovation und Prototypen: bis zu 80 % Förderung möglich
Frühe Innovationsvorhaben, Prototypenerstellung und junge Startups können oft öffentliche Förderprogramme nutzen.
Je nach Bundesland, Programm und Unternehmensstatus sind in einzelnen Fällen Förderquoten von bis zu 80 % realistisch.
Ob das für euer Vorhaben grundsätzlich in Frage kommt, klären wir transparent und ohne pauschale Zusagen im Erstgespräch.
Unverbindlich. Transparent. Ohne Förderzusage.
Relevant für frühe Vorhaben
Besonders interessant für Startups bis etwa 5 Jahre sowie für frühe Innovations- und Produktinitiativen.
Abhängig von Standort und Programm
Ob und in welchem Umfang eine Förderung möglich ist, hängt von Region, Förderprogramm und Unternehmensstatus ab.
Transparent statt pauschal
Wir machen keine Förderversprechen. Im Erstgespräch ordnen wir ein, ob Förderfähigkeit für euer Vorhaben ein Thema sein kann.
What founders typically ask before the first call
What does this roughly cost for a pre-seed idea?
Entry starts at €3,500 for a Clickable Prototype you can test with investors or early users. Depending on the modules, you reach your MVP in a price range of roughly €3,500 to €25,000 — a full MVP path with research, UX validation, and a Code Prototype lands at around €20,500 to €25,000. All modules are fixed package prices — you see what you get and what it costs before we start.
We don't have a technical co-founder — does this still work?
That's a common case for us. We translate your idea into scope, prototype, and MVP framework — and deliver specs and code so you can later either hire your own developers, bring in an agency, or continue with us.
How fast do you have something clickable?
From kick-off to a clickable prototype we're talking days, with further estimates following per module. Including AI-assisted research into UX/UI and technical feasibility, plus a structured discovery call. Pitch-ready from the moment the first screens are in place.
Can we show this to an investor?
That's exactly what the Clickable Prototype is built for. You get a high-quality, interactive mock-up that works in pitch decks or live demos, plus UX Validation with real users — investors prefer data over assumptions.
What about code ownership and IP?
Entirely yours. You get the code repository (repo) and the documentation (docs) as deliverables — plus all designs and prompts, handed over completely, no lock-in, no recurring license fees, no clauses in our favor. What's created in the pre-project belongs to you.
Before you spend months developing: make your idea testable first.
If you need a clickable prototype for investors, early users, or your team — and want to derive a realistic MVP from it — decivo is the right starting point.
No obligation. Clear. No agency pitch.
