Your MVP,
live in 4 weeks.
Senior engineering that turns your idea into a real, revenue-ready product. One fixed price, one date.
No sales deck. No invoice for “discovery”. Just a price and a date.
Trusted by high-growth teams
Most founders don't lose on the idea. They lose on the build. Slow agencies stall, cheap freelancers vanish, and good products die in staging. That's why I started SortedLaunch, so I can help founders fix that.
How I work.
Six weeks from idea to real users.
01. Scope
2 to 3 daysOne call, one short doc. You leave with a fixed quote and a launch date.
02. Pilot sprint
2 weeksThe scary part first: real login, payments, and one core feature, live at a URL.
03. Build
4 weeksThe full product in daily commits you can read. A demo every Friday.
04. Launch
includedDeploy, CI/CD, analytics, and app store paperwork. Plus two weeks of fixes on me.
05. Beyond

Better results from a smarter algorithm.
Manish did an outstanding job updating the algorithm for our app. It now delivers significantly better results for our users. I was cautious about picking a developer for something my business relies on, and choosing Manish proved to be an excellent decision.

Meet the founder.
You're not hiring an agency. You're hiring the person who builds it.
Manish Saraan
Founder & Principal Engineer
Hi, I'm Manish. SortedLaunch is me, one senior engineer, not an agency.
What I kept seeing
For years I watched good founders hand a real idea to a slow agency or a cheap freelancer, and get nothing back but a bill. The idea was never the problem. The build just never happened.
Why I do it this way
So I do the opposite. You work with me directly, from the first call to launch. I keep it small and senior, use AI where it genuinely helps, and only take on what I can actually ship. No account managers, no juniors learning on your product.
If your idea deserves to exist, I'll help it get there.
Questions, answered.
Everything founders ask before we start.
We can do the scoping call this week, and I usually kick off within 7 to 10 days.
AI writes the boilerplate, scaffolding and test coverage, and runs the first review passes. That is where the speed comes from. It does not make architecture calls, product calls, or write the code your business runs on. I do that. And you see all of it in the daily commits.
You do, from the first commit. Your repo, your cloud accounts, your keys.
TypeScript, React and Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL, React Native and Expo, Stripe, and OpenAI or Anthropic, deployed on Vercel or AWS. Boring, modern, and easy to hire for later.
Even better. Scoping covers audits and rescues. LiveEasy up above is exactly that story.
Hourly billing makes your delay my income. A fixed price makes your launch my income. I would rather only look good when you actually ship.
Every full project includes two weeks of fixes. After that you can keep me on monthly, book the odd sprint, or hand it to your own team. I'll even help you interview them.
