Rapidly analyze performance data across channels
But we’ve also seen:
Off-brand content that alienates global audiences
Sales decks that erode trust with inaccurate AI summaries
GPT-wrapped tools with zero contextual relevance

Built AI-powered products fueled by rich datasets

Staffed by experienced startup founders and product leaders who’ve done this before
Know Your True Profitability
Beyond Gross Margin: Introducing Net Contribution Margin
Most dashboards stop at Gross Contribution Margin, product value minus cost. We go further. MGP’s solution uniquely calculates Net Contribution Margin by factoring in the real-world costs that impact profitability at the order level:
Shipping income and expenses
Refund adjustments
Settlement fees and platform commissions
Import duties and taxes
Order-level advertising costs
We allocate these down to the order and line item, so you know not just what sold, but what made money
This gives e-commerce leaders a truer picture of:
Which products and channels are profitable
Where margin is leaking
How operational changes impact financial performance

If you have a strong idea but need product, design, and engineering firepower to bring it to life, we’re your team.
We’re not a dev shop—we’re co-builders. We combine product strategy, UX design, technical architecture, and engineering under one roof. Unlike transactional vendors, we think like co-founders and build like owners. Our goal isn’t just to launch—it’s to help you succeed post-launch.
We build SaaS platforms, internal tools, mobile apps, customer portals, data products, and AI-enabled applications. Whether B2B, B2C, or vertical-specific (e.g., fintech, proptech, healthtech), we tailor every solution to market demands and technical fit.
We start with a Discovery Sprint—defining the user, problem, and value proposition. We test assumptions quickly through research, prototypes, and market feedback. This approach reduces risk, aligns stakeholders, and ensures we build something people actually want.
Once we’ve validated direction, we move into agile build cycles. We typically ship a working MVP in 6–12 weeks, depending on scope. From there, we iterate fast based on user feedback and growth goals. We also advise on roadmap, analytics, and technical scaling.
Of course! We offer ongoing support for scaling products—adding features, optimizing performance, improving UX, and integrating additional systems. We can also transition the product to your internal team when ready or continue as your dedicated build partner.
We’re not a cohort-based program—we’re a product execution partner. While incubators provide guidance and connections, we build the thing. And we don’t take a fixed percentage of your company to do it. You stay in control; we deliver the tech and product horsepower.
It starts with a conversation. Share your vision, your audience, and your business goals—we’ll help you pressure-test the idea, map out the fastest path to value, and outline a clear build plan. Whether you’re on a napkin sketch or a 40-page pitch deck, we meet you where you are.
