Leafboats
A community of makers and idea-people building minimum viable products for fun, good, and profit.
Float an idea
Leafboats operates a micro startup studio, a club headquartered in Atlanta, GA specializing in ideating and creating minimum viable products.
We believe that good ideas come from diverse origins, and that by scaling down, unique ideas that solve problems can have a chance to shine.
Our methodology is a radically minimalist embrace of agile principles applied through our own experimentation in fashioning minimal products.
Leafboats hosts regular hack nights in which we apply the Leafboats method, tapping the collective genius in the room to build software products in a fun, collaborative session of networking, brainstorming, learning, and creativity.
Perhaps we can help you put your idea into the stream.
The height of cultivation runs to simplicity.
— Bruce Lee
What we do:
I want this for my idea!Minimum viable project modeling
- First we establish a product’s vision: goals for target users, product features, marketing methods to find the users where they are, and revenue models to keep the boat afloat.
- Then, we rapidly craft a product feature backlog of bite-size product increments implementable by any development team.
Rapid minimal product development
Doing what we love to do: rapidly build software products.
We work to build incremental improvements to products that have been through minimal modeling.
Minimum viable products help you gauge market fit, attract investors with a functioning proof of concept, or build a monetizable version of your product. Members apply our philosophy of radical simplicity in exchange for sweat equity to save founders money, time, and risk.
