Built Distinct

Built by someone
who's shipped.

Corv is new — we don't have client case studies yet. So instead, here's something more valuable: who's actually building your project, and exactly how we'd approach it.

Meet the Founder

Ali Abdelrahman

9+ years building software for companies that millions of people use — including GitHub, Sana Benefits, and Lillo. Now building Corv to bring world-class engineering to founders in Egypt and the GCC.

GitHub
Built their first billing microservice — tens of millions of developers depend on it daily.
70%+
Cut client onboarding time at Sana Benefits — saving hours of manual work per customer.
MENA
Led engineering for a SaaS used by schools across the region. Knows your market deeply.
MBA
Currently pursuing at the German University in Cairo. Engineering depth + business strategy.
Why Corv Exists

I spent 9 years watching agencies overcharge founders for features they never used. I watched startups burn their runway on six-month builds that should have been four-week MVPs. I shipped systems used by millions and learned exactly what "production-grade" actually means — and what most agencies pretend it means.

I started Corv because Egyptian and GCC founders deserve the same engineering quality as Silicon Valley — without flying to Silicon Valley to find it. We reject features that don't matter. We protect your cash flow. And we ship in 4 weeks because we know what "enough" actually looks like.

A Real Example

What a 4-Week MVP Actually Looks Like

A walkthrough based on the engineering decisions we'd make for a typical project — informed by real production work at GitHub, Sana Benefits, and Lillo. Real timelines, real tradeoffs, real thinking.

The Project

A Client Booking & Service Management Platform for an Egyptian Professional Services Firm

The scenario: A growing consulting practice managing 50+ clients via WhatsApp and spreadsheets. Manual booking. Manual invoicing. Manual onboarding. Every new client is 2 hours of admin work before the actual consulting begins.

They need a single platform where clients can self-serve scheduling, see project status, and pay invoices — while the firm gets visibility, automation, and finally stops drowning in WhatsApp threads.

This is exactly the kind of B2B SaaS we'd build in 4 weeks. Here's how.

Week 1

Architecture & Focus

What we'd do
Map the business — who books, who pays, who manages, what reports matter. Define the Core Features (5-7 max) that drive revenue. Reject the rest.
Design a multi-tenant architecture from day one — so adding new clients later doesn't require a rebuild.
Deliver clickable wireframes for every Core Feature. You approve the plan before a single line of code is written.
Real engineering decision we'd make

"We'd choose multi-tenant from day one — even though it's slightly more complex than single-tenant. Why? When this firm hits 200 clients in year 2, the rebuild from single to multi-tenant costs 3 months of paid downtime. Same lesson I learned shipping data partitioning at GitHub. Architecture decisions you make in week 1 save you 3 months in year 2."

What you'd see by end of week 1

Approved wireframes for the entire MVP, written architecture plan, locked feature scope. Zero ambiguity going into Week 2.

Week 2 & 3

Core Development

What we'd do
Engineering begins. Clean Code for essential features only — no fluff, no scope drain. Daily commits, daily progress.
Battle-tested stack — the same kind of tech behind GitHub, Shopify, and other systems serving millions. Production-grade by default.
End of Week 2: working demo. Real code, not mockups. You test it. You break it. You give feedback.
Week 3 closes out features, polishes flows, tightens performance. Payment integration (Paymob for EGP, Stripe for USD). Automated WhatsApp confirmations.
Real engineering decision we'd make

"We'd build the onboarding flow as an automated state machine — not just a series of forms. When I built Sana Benefits' client onboarding, automating this single workflow saved them 1-2 hours of manual work per client. For your firm at 50 clients, that's 50-100 hours of admin time freed up every single onboarding cycle. That's where MVPs pay for themselves."

What you'd see by end of week 3

All Core Features complete and live in a test environment. Payment integration tested with real transactions. You can demo it to a real client.

Week 4

QA & Launch

What we'd do
Comprehensive testing — every flow, every edge case. We don't ship code that hasn't been tested at the scale we expect it to handle.
Deploy your MVP to production. Servers, DNS, SSL, monitoring — all configured and verified.
Full handover walkthrough — you understand how everything works, where to make changes, who to call when something breaks.
30 days of post-launch support included — real problems show up in the first month, and we stay available.
Real engineering decision we'd make

"We'd set up monitoring before launch, not after. Most agencies launch and hope. We launch with alerts on every critical path — payment failures, booking errors, slow database queries. You'll know about a problem before your clients do. That's the difference between production-grade and 'live but fragile.'"

What you'd target after launch

70% reduction in manual booking time · Built to scale 10x without re-architecture · Full client self-service · Zero manual invoicing.

What We Believe

Five principles we won't compromise on.

01

We say no to features that don't drive revenue.

02

We don't write 6-month proposals for 4-week problems.

03

Clean Code or no code. Your MVP scales with you.

04

Your MVP is not a prototype. It's a real product.

05

We measure success by your business outcomes, not our hours billed.
