What design for startups actually means

A design agency for startups ships your brand, product design and launch pages without in-house headcount or agency lock-in. One subscription covers it all: activate a module this week, see progress roughly every 48 hours, pause when the roadmap slows.

Stages

Design for every stage, pre-seed to Series A

Pre-seed and seed: core flows, an MVP investors believe, a landing page that converts. Series A and beyond: product depth and a design system that scales with your team.

MVP design

MVP design that ships inweeks, not quarters

MVP design means core flows, a clickable prototype and testable UI, not the full product. Project shops quote it as a fixed scope that runs a quarter. On a subscription, you see progress roughly every 48 hours until it ships.

Runway

Design demand bursts. Your billing should pause.

Design spikes at launch and fundraise, then goes quiet. Pause the subscription and billing stops immediately; unused days bank until you reactivate. Your runway is not paying for idle weeks.

What founders say once the first sprint lands

Google
UX Certificate
Eight courses, around six months at ten hours a week, developed by Google's own UX designers. There is no shortcut exam. You have to deliver three complete case studies, from user research and wireframing through Figma prototypes to usability testing.
Adobe Graphic
Design Certificate
An exam you sit under test conditions, not a course certificate. Adobe builds it with Certiport and industry practitioners, and it is scored on set production tasks in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. You either produce the work on the day or you do not pass.
Webflow Certified Partner
Not a signup. You apply, and Webflow's own team vets and qualifies every partner before listing them. Just over 1,200 hold the status worldwide, and it stays public in Webflow's directory, so anyone can check it at the
source.

No inflated house numbers. Independent research puts figures on what disciplined design work returns.

FAQ

What founders ask before they subscribe

How much does startup design cost with Cluma?

Flat and published: modules run $1,995 to $3,995 per month, one flat rate per module. First month paid in full, then pause or cancel anytime. No long-term contract, no cancellation fee, 7-day trial.

How fast can you design our MVP?

It depends on scope, so we promise cadence, not magic: you see progress roughly every 48 hours from the first brief until the MVP ships, and the queue never sits idle. Most MVP scopes are measured in weeks, not the quarter a fixed-scope project takes.

What is the difference between MVP design and full product design?

MVP design covers core flows, a clickable prototype and testable UI, enough for users and investors to believe it. Full product design adds depth, edge cases and a design system. Cluma’s uShip module handles both, so you never switch vendors mid-journey.

Can we pause between funding rounds?

Yes, that is the point. Pause anytime and billing stops immediately; unused days of the month bank and resume on reactivation. First month paid in full, then no long-term contract and no cancellation fee. Your files and board stay intact.

Are you specialists or generalists?

Product and UX-led specialists for SaaS and startups, with full-stack modules around the product core: brand, website, decks, content. Senior-owned and senior-reviewed, AI-accelerated where it saves time, human where judgment matters.
