Why MVP Factory?

At MVP Factory, a Ness Digital Engineering company, we build and scale digital ventures & products. By combining our expertise from entrepreneurship, design, tech and growth hacking with lean and agile processes and high-performing, scalable and agile teams, we help organizations to build digital ventures and products at start-up speed. We create value through products not slides, are acting as builders not consultants and leverage the future of work.

When you join our team, you’re not just joining the ranks; you’ll be part of a crew that’s as enthusiastic and inquisitive as you are. We like to think we’ve got a knack for keeping things interesting around here.

We're all about creating a work environment that both motivates and pushes boundaries, in return of our peoples hard work and dedication we:

Flex Time: We’ve tossed the 9-to-5 out the window ages ago and embraced a world where your schedule fits you like your favorite pair of jeans – whether you’re an early bird who loves the worm or a night owl with a penchant for moonlit productivity.
Remote First: Our office is wherever you are. From Bali beaches to your living room couch, we were remote before remote was cool. Your commute? From your bed to your desk, with a coffee pit stop. If you are a fan of coming to the office, then make it yours, don’t be shy, the kitchen contains snacks, fruit, Müsli and you can find all kinds of drinks in the fridge. Top tip: whenever somebody asks if “anybody” wants to go for lunch or coffee, just say yes and tag along.
All About the Fun: Our idea of a team building involves food, paddle boards and trips that turn into legendary tales. And our office playlist? Let’s just say, it’s a bop.
Real Talk: Our feedback game is strong – think of it as constructive chats with your brainy friends. We dish it out, we take it in, and we all grow together.
Change Champions: We don’t just welcome change; we high-five it at the door. It’s not change for change's sake, but more like leveling up in our endless quest for awesomeness.
The Quest for Perfection: Sure, nobody’s perfect, but why not shoot for the stars? Got a dream? Throw it in the mix. We’re all about making those lofty goals a little more down-to-earth.

The cherry on top: our chess game is strong (sorry, foosball), our salaries don’t suck, dogs are our co-workers (the furry kind), and our company sweatshirts? They’re like a warm hug from your cool aunt who knows what’s up.

About us

MVP Factory leverages expertise from business entrepreneurship, design, engineering and data science to help organizations execute their digital transformation. We reinvent digital consulting by focusing on products, not slides and on pragmatic doing instead of just talking.

We design, build and scale digital products and ventures.

Digital consulting – reinvented.

Since 2017 we enable organisations to execute their digital transformation by using agile methodology at startup speed. Therefore, we are combining our expertise from entrepreneurship, design, consulting and engineering. With our proven approach, the MVP Factory has worked on over 300+ projects with global enterprises and early-stage entrepreneurs, including DB Schenker, Bertelsmann, Jobrad, Henkel Group, Signal Iduna or Bundeswehr Cyber Innovation Hub.

Many digital innovation initiatives get stuck at the conceptual level or end up with poor technical implementation. Our Minimal Viable Product ("MVP") empowers organisations - from startups to midsize companies and enterprises - to build better software, and bring successful products to market. We start challenging ideas before we build them. We not only have good ideas, we also implement them successfully.

Headquartered in Berlin, MVP Factory was founded by our tech entrepreneur Philipp Petrescu and consists of over 60 Venture Architects, Designers, Product Managers, Tech Leads and Growth Marketing Experts. Since mid-2023, MVP Factory has been part of Ness Digital Engineering (Ness) - a full-service provider of digital consulting services and software development.
