How to Build an MVP in 2 Weeks Using AI, Not 5 Developers

The old way took 3 months and $50k. The new way takes 14 days and smart tooling. Here is the blueprint.

Speed Is the New Currency

Stop writing specifications for features you have not validated. The old way took 3 months and $50k. The new way takes 14 days and smart prompting.

The Blueprint

  1. Frontend: Use v0.dev or Lovable to generate the UI instantly. You describe what you want in natural language and get a working React component.
  2. Backend: Use Supabase for a database that practically writes itself. Auth, storage, and real-time subscriptions out of the box.
  3. Logic: Use Cursor or Claude Code to connect the two. Write business logic by describing what you need.

The Key Insight

You do not need a team. You need a Pilot.

A single experienced engineer with AI tools can now produce what used to require a five-person team. The bottleneck is no longer coding speed — it is decision speed.

The 14-Day Timeline

  • Days 1-2: Define the core value proposition and sketch three screens
  • Days 3-5: Build the core user flow end-to-end
  • Days 6-8: Add auth, data persistence, and the main feature
  • Days 9-11: Polish, edge cases, and error handling
  • Days 12-13: Deploy, set up analytics, and prepare landing page
  • Day 14: Launch to a small test group and gather feedback

What to Skip

Skip everything that does not validate your core hypothesis. No admin panels, no email templates, no multi-language support. These are post-validation problems.
