Eliminate execution risk
by validating with design

Most teams build too early. We design the simple, testable version of your product, needed to validate, learn, and raise—before writing a single line of code—all within 14 days.

UI shots

The problem

Strained teams widen the gap between insight and shipped product.

Pitch deck disconnect

Founders pitch a vision with static slides investors can’t experience

Launch delays

Nice-to-have features slow down execution and kill momentum

Code-first gamble

Teams burn $100K+ building software before validating desirability

Slow validation cycles

Heavy teams and code-based prototypes make iterations slow

The solution

Gruow is built to eliminate these four blockers — nothing more.

Guaranteed investable asset

A tangible, interactive prototype investors can use, not imagine

Hero-flow focus

We narrow scope to essential flows needed to validate desirability

Rapid desirability proof

Validate demand in days with a high-fidelity prototype

Fast iteration = efficiency

Near instant updates based on new insights or user tests

We offer one service

Gruow excels in solution-validation. You give us your validated summarized inputs—who the user is and what hurts them—and we turn those insights into a clickable, high-fidelity, solution-driven prototype that you can then test.

Our service is designed for

Startups

Early-stage founders with strong industry knowledge but lack adequate in-house design expertise. They need a tangible, professional prototype to demonstrate their vision to investors and secure early funding.

Enterprises

Product teams within larger organizations who are looking to explore a new market opportunity. They need a dedicated partner to create concepts quickly without diverting internal resources from the core roadmap.

Consultants

Consultants and agencies delivering strategy, who want to bring their recommendations to life. They need high-fidelity product visualization to help their clients experience the value of a proposed product strategy.

How it works

From verified idea to investable asset in 5 steps. The process is fast because all thinking is done upfront.


Share your idea

You book a short call and introduce us to your project idea and the work done to validate it. To help us stay aligned, please read our Idea Validation Guide.

Strategy workshop

We engage in a 90-min session to unpack users personas, define outcomes, map flows, and create your sprint brief. We function as an extension of your team.

Execution

We take the brief and design your MVP prototype: think flows, interfaces, interactions, and a clickable prototype ready for real users.

Delivery

You get the live prototype link, landing page for leads, and clean Figma file with usage guides for your engineering team. This gets you ready to pitch or build.

Got questions?
We’ve got answers

This is a design-only execution service that turns your validated idea into a clear, clickable prototype. We do not do market or user research or problem definition — we only design the solution you’ve already proven through your own research.

It’s for founders and teams who have validated a user problem, defined their core user journey, and know exactly what outcomes their MVP must deliver. If your idea is not validated, incomplete, or still shifting, this service is likely not for you.

You provide your required outcomes, user stories, constraints, and acceptance criteria. We then go through a strategy session with you, which helps us translate all the info into user flows and a polished Figma prototype. The process is fast because all thinking
is done upfront — the sprint is execution only.

You must submit a complete validation package: the problem statement, target user profile, evidence of validation, user journey insights, prioritized
outcomes, and the MVP boundaries. If this is missing or unclear, we pause the
intake — design cannot fix unclear thinking. Book a strategy call to get started.

You receive a clickable Figma prototype, core user flows, interaction notes for
developers, and a structured handoff session. The output is exactly what your
validated outcome spec prescribes — nothing more, nothing less. Our strategy
to handoff process is completed within 14 days.

You can use the prototype for investor pitches, early user tests, or initiate product
development. If needed, we can continue working with you to design for future outcomes or features established within your roadmap.
