We have built an MVP in bubble.io so far, but are now ready to build a proper full stack MVP, to continue our validation. This will help us raise the pre-seed round of funding, with different options already available. The salary-range on the job post, is what should be expected in the early stages of building the company, after raising a pre-seed round. Salary will grow as the company grows.
