Trusted by companies worldwide, we combine global standards with local market understanding to create game development solutions that stand out. We offer flexible engagement models tailored to EUR budgets.
Our game development engagements in Portugal target indie and casual web games, mobile-first hyper-casual, and lightweight 2D/3D experiences for marketing or product use cases. We work primarily in Unity and web-native engines (Phaser, Three.js, Babylon.js) and treat games as products — that means analytics, telemetry, monetization scaffolding, and live-ops tooling, not just gameplay. Most engagements ship a playable build in 4-6 weeks.
Studios shipping indie or casual titles, brands building game-like marketing experiences, and product teams using game mechanics for engagement, learning, or onboarding. We optimize for ship-quality and player retention, not for tech-demo polish.
SpeedMVPs builds indie and casual games for Portugal studios and brands — mobile-first hyper-casual, lightweight 2D/3D web experiences, and game-like marketing pieces. We work in Unity and web-native engines (Phaser, Three.js, Babylon.js) and treat games as products: analytics, telemetry, and monetisation scaffolding, not just gameplay. Most engagements ship a playable build in 4-6 weeks, so teams from Lisbon across Europe get something players can actually pick up.
If you are building from Portugal, you do not just need code — you need a team that understands your market, your compliance landscape, and the fastest path to validated demand.
Portugal operates under EU GDPR with the CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados) as the data protection authority. The EU AI Act applies directly. Portugal's National AI Strategy (AI Portugal 2030) targets healthcare, public administration, and industry. The Banco de Portugal and CMVM regulate fintech and capital markets. Portugal has positioned itself as a tech-friendly EU jurisdiction, attracting digital nomads and tech companies through favorable tax regimes.
Portugal has transformed into a European tech hub, driven by Web Summit (now permanently in Lisbon), favorable tax policies (NHR regime), and quality of life attracting international talent. Lisbon and Porto are the primary tech centers. The market is relatively small but internationally oriented — Portuguese startups often build for global markets from day one. Strong demand in tourism tech, fintech, and deep tech. The Portuguese-speaking market (Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique) totals 260M+ people.
Lisbon has become one of Europe's most attractive tech cities. Web Summit's presence puts the city on the global startup map annually. The NHR tax regime (non-habitual resident) has attracted tech professionals and entrepreneurs. Startup Lisboa, Beta-i, and Bright Pixel support the ecosystem. Porto is growing as an alternative with lower costs and strong engineering from the University of Porto. The cost base is competitive for Western Europe.
Portuguese business culture is warm, relationship-oriented, and increasingly international in tech. English is widely spoken in the startup ecosystem. The NHR tax regime and startup visa attract international founders. The market's small size means Portuguese startups think globally from the start — building products for the EU market or the broader Lusophone world. Lisbon's tech community is tight-knit and supportive.
We plan collaboration with overlap in the Europe/Lisbon timezone for faster decisions and smoother delivery.
You get senior execution with clear scope and predictable pricing (EUR)—often a cost advantage versus building a full in-house team before you have validated demand.

Non-Profit • 2 Weeks
Outdated donor tracking systems, sluggish communication tools, and fundraising campaigns that relied more on goodwill than modern engagement strategies.
“It feels like going from bicycle to spaceship overnight. This wasn't just technology—this was amplified compassion, multiplied at scale.”— Niswarth Foundation Team, Non-Profit LeadershipView more AI MVP case studies
Productivity SaaS • 3 Weeks
VeloraAssist's founder had eight pilot customers who all wanted the same thing — an AI EA that could read email context, suggest replies, and book meetings — but every off-the-shelf tool either lacked context or leaked it. They had three weeks before a YC interview and no time for a 90-day build.
“We replaced two contract EAs and our calendar still looks better than it did before. The first-draft acceptance rate is what sold our YC partner.”— Founder, VeloraAssistView more AI MVP case studies
SpeedMVPs is led by hands-on builders who have shipped dozens of AI products across SaaS, fintech, non-profit and internal tooling. You work directly with the people designing and implementing your MVP, not a rotating bench.
Every engagement includes clear documentation, architecture notes, and handover so your own team in Portugal can take over smoothly after the first launch.
This approach helps demonstrate real experience and accountability for buyers and search engines evaluating vendors in Portugal.
