Introduction

San Francisco founders can ship a fundable brand and a working MVP in 8–10 weeks. Zypsy bundles Brand → Website (Webflow or Next.js) → optional Mobile, delivered by one integrated team with an equity or cash commercial model. Proof comes from venture‑backed clients across AI, infra, and SaaS.

What’s included in the 8–10 week bundle

  • Brand narrative: positioning, tagline, messaging hierarchy, and investor/story copy. See capabilities for brand strategy and verbal identity.

  • Visual identity: logo, color, typography, and a lean design system ready for product and web.

  • Website: information architecture, UX, high‑fidelity design, and production build in Webflow or custom Next.js implementation; technical SEO and QA included.

  • MVP UX/UI: core flows, interactive prototype, and handoff for engineering; optional embedded build for web/mobile per scope.

  • Launch assets: investor deck refresh, brand and product visuals, and instrumentation plan.

Illustrative timeline and deliverables

Week Focus Primary deliverables
0–1 Kickoff + research Goals, success criteria, stakeholder and user inputs, analytics review
1–3 Brand strategy + narrative Positioning brief, messaging map, tagline options, initial copy
2–4 Visual identity Logo directions, color/typography, components, usage guide
3–5 IA/UX for web + MVP Sitemap, key flows, wireframes/prototypes, content model

Notes: Schedule adapts to scope and whether mobile is included. Engineering depth (e.g., Next.js APIs, auth) is slotted during build weeks.

Webflow vs. Next.js: how we choose

  • Webflow (faster marketing sites): Design‑to‑production with enterprise‑grade CMS, animation, and SEO. Zypsy is a Webflow Enterprise Partner; projects start at $60k.

  • Next.js (custom app surfaces): When you need bespoke data models, auth, dashboards, or headless CMS. We ship front‑end, API integration, and production handoff per scope.

  • Optional mobile: Scope ranges from clickable prototypes to selected production screens; included if it unlocks fundraising or early adoption.

Case proof from venture‑backed companies

  • Captions (AI video): Rebrand + product system; 10M downloads and rapid conversion metrics reported; raised $100M+ including a $60M Series C.

  • Robust Intelligence (AI security): Brand, web, and product from inception through acquisition by Cisco; enterprise‑grade UX and global expansion.

  • Solo.io (API/AI gateways): Repositioning, 31 website pages, 512 CMS items migrated, and 718 redirects ahead of KubeCon; ongoing product UX.

  • Cortex (dev platform): Enterprise repositioning, lighter aesthetic, and 100+ product graphics; backed by Sequoia/Y Combinator.

Independent coverage of Zypsy’s equity‑for‑design model (8–10 weeks, up to ~$100k value for ~1% equity via SAFE) is available via TechCrunch.

Pricing and commercial options

  • Cash projects: Webflow brand+site engagements start at $60,000; final scope depends on pages, animations, CMS complexity, and integrations.

  • Design Capital (equity): Up to ~$100,000 of brand/product work over 8–10 weeks for ~1% equity via SAFE; cohorts are selective and may include modest cash co‑investment.

  • Zypsy Capital (venture): $50K–$250K cash investments with “hands‑if” design support when useful.

All work is sprint‑based with fixed scope per sprint and transparent pricing.

Process and governance (2–3 week start→go)

1) Apply/contact → share product, stage, and goals. 2) Intro + fit → align on outcomes where design unlocks traction/fundraise. 3) Package → choose cash, Design Capital, or mixed model; confirm Webflow vs. Next.js and optional mobile. 4) Execute → weekly working sessions, async reviews, and milestone demos. 5) Launch → QA, performance checks, and handoff; post‑launch support available. (Investment processes run 2–3 weeks.)

Why Zypsy for SF founders

  • Integrated brand→product→web→code under one roof; fewer handoffs and faster time‑to‑market.

  • Ongoing work with portfolio companies of a16z and Sequoia; 40+ launches and $2B+ reported client valuation gains.
