From MVP to Series B: Technical Debt Playbook

Every startup accumulates technical debt on the path from MVP to growth. The question isn't whether you'll have it — it's whether you'll manage it strategically.

The Debt Inventory

Start by categorizing your technical debt: infrastructure debt, code quality debt, architectural debt, and testing debt. Each type requires a different remediation strategy.

The 20% Rule

We advise clients to allocate 20% of each sprint to debt reduction. This prevents accumulation without blocking feature development.
