Maa Labs plans, designs and builds first versions of SaaS products for US founders: the core workflow, accounts and roles, Stripe billing, an admin dashboard and a production deployment you own. We're a software studio in India working remotely with US teams, with a live call window in your morning.

An MVP isn't a demo. Real users have to sign up, do the core job and pay you. These are the parts we scope with you, sized to your idea rather than taken from a template.
We turn the idea into user stories, a feature cut-line for v1 and a list of what waits until after launch, so the budget goes on the workflow that matters.
Database schema, multi-tenant data model, background jobs and an API design that won't need rebuilding when your first customers arrive.
Node.js, Next.js or Laravel backends with typed APIs, role-based permissions, audit trails and integrations with the tools your users already use.
A responsive web app built in React or Next.js: onboarding, the user dashboard and the screens your customers use every day.
Sign-up, login, teams and invitations, plus Stripe subscriptions with trials, plan changes and webhook-driven billing state when your model needs them.
An internal admin panel for support and operations, staging and production environments, backups and monitoring, all in accounts you control.
SaaS is taxable in some US states and not others. We wire Stripe Tax (or your accountant's chosen tool) into checkout and invoices so you can switch on collection where it applies.
Role-based access, audit logs, encrypted backups and least-privilege infrastructure are built in, which makes later security reviews and SOC 2 preparation easier. We don't certify you, but we don't create the gaps either.
We deploy to US regions on AWS, Google Cloud, Vercel or similar, under your company's accounts, so latency is low for US users and the data stays where you need it.
The code lives in your GitHub organisation from the first commit, and the agreement assigns the work to your company once it's paid for. That's what investors check during due diligence.
The best evidence of how we'd build your product is the products we ship under our own name. You can open each of these today.

one.maalabs.in ↗India is 10½ hours ahead of US Eastern time. We keep our evenings for client calls, so East Coast and Central teams get a live overlap most mornings. West Coast founders get the day's progress written up before they start, with calls booked early by arrangement.

30 minutes in your morning, free. We go through the problem, your users, what success looks like at launch and any deadline such as a demo day or pilot customer.
A scope document with the v1 feature list, what's deliberately left out, milestones and a fixed or milestone-based price. Our published starting point for an MVP is $5,000, typically 4–8 weeks; your exact number depends on scope.
Each milestone is deployed to staging for you to click through. Changes to scope are priced before they're built, so the budget never drifts quietly.
Production launch, handover documentation and access, then ongoing development or maintenance if you want us to keep building after the first users arrive.
Our published starting point is $5,000 for an MVP, with most taking 4–8 weeks. The real figure depends on the number of user roles, integrations and how much billing logic you need, and you get it as a fixed written quote after the discovery call.
No. Maa Labs Private Limited is a software studio registered and based in India. We work remotely with US founders and plan our hours so there's a live call window in the US Eastern morning.
You do. The repository, cloud accounts, Stripe account and domain are set up under your company from the start, and the agreement assigns the work to you once it's paid for.
Yes. The discovery call and scope document turn a rough idea into a v1 feature list with a clear cut-line, so you launch with the smallest product that proves the core workflow.
Usually Next.js or React on the frontend with a Node.js or Laravel backend, PostgreSQL or MySQL, and Stripe for billing. If you already have a stack or a technical co-founder with preferences, we work with that.
You can take the code to an in-house team with full documentation, or keep us on for ongoing development and maintenance on a monthly basis.
A few lines about the idea, who it's for and your timeline is enough. You'll hear back within 24 hours.
