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.
