Bring your application to life in 6 weeks
ELC Technologies has a unique offering that helps venture-backed entrepreneurs launch a custom web application in six weeks guaranteed.
As successful application entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand that quickly honing an idea into a market sweet spot, recruiting talented employees, and raising growth capital can be a struggle. Nothing addresses these early challenges better than an alpha application that people can touch. With this critical milestone, an intangible idea suddenly has the appearance of a real business.
How is this possible?
ELC’s Rapid Launch Development package arms an entrepreneur with an Agile Development Team that consists of project management, design and development resources. The Agile Team is responsible for developing and deploying the mission-critical features of the application and is dedicated to the successful execution of the application vision. The assembled team has expertise in product entrepreneurship, agile development, technology architecture, and user interface design, along with pertinent experience in the market space or technology required for that project.
What are the results?
Equipped with ELC’s agile practices and tools, the entrepreneur directs the Agile Team to make the business idea a reality. Live, tested software is delivered weekly, allowing features to be adjusted on the fly based on user feedback. This iterative approach results is a solid post-alpha application that can be shown to prospective customers, employees and investors, taking the business beyond its most crucial early stages in just six weeks.
The application, which is hosted by ELC, is designed for significant scale. Additionally, the interactive development process ensures continuous knowledge transfer, growing the organization’s internal domain expertise.
What happens after week 6?
Post delivery of the alpha-site, ELC can provide application support and/or an ongoing technology team to develop the next-generation application.

Within three weeks, ELC deployed an alpha microsite that handled $250,000 worth of transactions with our target users. This proof-of-concept has been instrumental in our ability to win new business, validate our model and close financing.
