PROTOTYPE IN 6 WEEKS
Working Prototype in 6 Weeks.
Or Your Money Back.
- ISO 27001 Certified
- Start in 7–10 days
- From €5–6k/mo
Validate your idea with a clickable, functional prototype not a slide deck or wireframe. Real code. Real users can test it. If we don’t deliver in 6 weeks, you don’t pay.
Why teams bring us in
- Spending months on an MVP
- Slide decks, not software
- Building the wrong thing
- Can’t get funding without a demo
You don’t need a 6-month plan. You need a working prototype in
6 weeks that proves whether this idea is worth building.

What is Software Prototyping and MVP Development?
Software prototyping is the rapid development of a functional but limited-scope version of a product to validate feasibility, test user experience, and gather feedback before full-scale development.
Prototyping reduces the cost of failure by testing assumptions early. Instead of 6–12 months on a full product, a 4–6 week prototype answers: Do users want this? Does the technology work?
Technology Stack
We build for performance. When an athlete sprints, your app needs to keep up.

Case Study : Emotionise
Industry : AI / Content Technology
- Challenge
- Emotionise had a concept for AI-enhanced emotional engagement in content creation. Needed to validate technology and user value.
- What HST Did
- HST delivered a working prototype in 6 weeks: functional AI integration, user interface, testable workflow. Architecture designed for extension.
- Real-time data sync between wearable GPS devices and mobile apps
- Backend infrastructure handling millions of GPS data points per training session
- API layer for integration with third-party analytics platforms
- Offline capability for training environments without connectivity
- Technology
- React | Python | AI/ML APIs | Azure | Figma
- Result
- Prototype validated concept with real users. Emotionise demonstrated to investors, gathered feedback, made informed decisions about full development.
HST were instrumental in building the mobile and backend systems that powered our growth.

Frequently asked questions
What does money-back guarantee mean?
If HST does not deliver a working, testable prototype within 6 weeks of the agreed start date, you receive a full refund. Working means deployed, accessible via URL, demonstrating agreed core features. Scope is defined in week 1. We’re transparent about what’s achievable in 6 weeks.
Is the prototype throwaway code or can we build on it?
HST prototypes are built with production-grade architecture specifically designed to extend into a full product. Same engineering standards as full engagements. This is a critical differentiator. Many prototyping services deliver throwaway demos that need rebuilding.
How much does a software prototype cost?
HST’s 6-week prototype starts from €15,000. Includes UX design, frontend, backend, cloud deployment, user testing, and architecture blueprint. Compare to 3–6 months and €50–150K+ for an unvalidated MVP.
What if the prototype reveals the idea doesn’t work?
That’s actually a success — you’ve saved months of development and tens of thousands by finding out in 6 weeks instead of 6 months. Most prototypes result in “build, but pivot this feature” rather than “don’t build.”
Can you prototype AI or ML features?
Yes — HST has proven AI prototyping capability using OpenAI APIs, Azure AI, and Python ML. We build functional AI prototypes that demonstrate real capability, not mocked-up demos. Emotionise integrated AI for emotional analysis. NovaLeah involved AI for medical device cybersecurity.
What happens after the 6-week prototype?
Three options: (1) Continue with HST into full development. (2) Take the prototype and blueprint to your own team. (3) Decide not to proceed. No lock-in — you own the code. Most clients continue with HST because the foundation is built and the team has context.
