Product Strategist + Mobile App Developer for MVP (Parenting & Community App)
I’m a working mom with a vision for a clean, community-driven mobile app that helps other parents easily find local summer camps, sports leagues, and enrichment programs — all in one place.
This is a personal passion project turned serious business opportunity. I’m looking for a collaborative partner to help me take this from a clear concept to a polished MVP. The app will serve families in Massachusetts first, then expand regionally.
The App Will:
- Centralize listings of summer camps, sports, arts, STEM, and other enrichment activities
- Include filters by age, interest, price, and location
- Allow user reviews and the ability to bookmark or save programs
- Optionally include user accounts and email reminders for registration deadlines
What I Need:
- A product-minded developer or small team to help shape and build the MVP
- Strategic input on which features to build now versus later
- Wireframing and basic UX/UI design in Figma (or similar)
- Mobile-friendly build (iOS-first; open to cross-platform solutions)
- Recommendations for backend tools (Airtable, Firebase, Supabase, etc.)
- Someone collaborative, clear in communication, and interested in building something useful for families
Ideal Experience:
- You’ve built and launched consumer-facing apps (especially in parenting, directories, or community-focused products)
- Experience defining MVP scope and user flows
- Strong understanding of mobile UX best practices
- Comfortable working with a non-technical founder
- Bonus: Experience with calendar tools, filtering/search interfaces, or map integrations
Design Style:
- Clean, modern, and calming (natural tones like sand and water; not bright primary colors)
- Think Apple, Headspace, or AllTrails — with a simple interface and a focus on helpfulness, not clutter
Budget:
Open to fixed price or phased hourly structure. Ideally, MVP falls within the $10K–$15K range depending on scope and speed.
Location:
US-based preferred, but open to remote freelancers with strong communication and relevant experience. Bonus if you are a parent or have worked in the family/lifestyle space.
To Apply:
Please include:
1. Relevant mobile app projects or MVPs you’ve worked on
2. Your process for helping define scope and build lean
3. A general timeline or range for building a simple MVP as described
I’m looking forward to working with someone who is strategic, thoughtful, and excited about building something meaningful for modern parents.
