MVP development company in Portugal
GDPR-first, fully documented and hosted in the EU, with a senior team working your morning hours.
Clarigo Infotech is an MVP development company that takes startups from idea to a production MVP in 25 to 30 days. We help you cut the scope to what proves your idea, build it on a stack that can scale, and launch it to real users. After launch, the same team helps you learn from usage and grow the product, and you keep full ownership of the code.
Portuguese companies most often hire us for SaaS products, startups and AI automation.

Privacy, quality and clear documentation
European teams tell us they want a partner who treats data protection and quality as the starting point, not an add-on. That is how we work.
GDPR by design
Data minimisation, consent, EU hosting and a signed data processing agreement before any personal data is touched.
Documentation you can audit
Written specifications, architecture notes, test reports and handover documents, so your team or auditors can follow every decision.
Accessible by default
Interfaces built to WCAG guidelines, helping you meet the European Accessibility Act for digital products and services.
Predictable contracts
Fixed scope and price, clear milestones and acceptance criteria, and full ownership of the code and IP.
What our MVP development covers
Scope and validation
A workshop to define the core problem, the users and the smallest feature set that proves your idea.
Product design
User flows and a clickable prototype you can test with users and show to investors before the build starts.
Web and mobile MVPs
Web apps in Next.js and mobile apps in React Native or Flutter, built for production from day one.
AI MVPs
Products built around LLMs, agents or retrieval, with cost controls so usage does not outrun your budget.
SaaS foundations
Sign-up, roles, billing, admin and analytics set up so you can charge customers from launch.
Scale after launch
Iterations based on real usage data, then the architecture, testing and team to support growth.
How we approach MVP development
Production, not a prototype
An MVP should be small, not fragile. We build with clean code, automated deployment, monitoring and security basics in place, so you can put real customers on it and keep building on the same codebase.
Cutting scope the right way
We start from the one outcome your first users must get and remove everything that does not serve it. Nice-to-have features go into a backlog that you prioritise once you see how people actually use the product.
Fixed price, fixed timeline
After the scoping workshop you get a written scope and a fixed price for a 25 to 30 day build. You see working software in weekly demos, so there are no surprises at launch.
From MVP to scale
Once you have traction, the same team adds features, improves performance and builds out the architecture. Because you own the code and it runs on your own cloud, you can also bring development in-house at any time.
How we work with Portugal clients
Time-zone overlap
Portuguese and Indian working days overlap by four and a half to five and a half hours, so stand-ups, calls and quick decisions happen during your morning and early afternoon.
The GDPR and Portugal's Law 58/2019
We design to the GDPR and Law 58/2019: data minimisation, consent, access controls, encryption, EU hosting and a data processing agreement signed before work starts.
