I am based half the year out of NYC and half the year in Eastern Europe. I know several friends who hired local eastern european dev shops for 10K-20K that delivered promising projects. I don't have reservations that 50K would be more than enough for a decent MVP, if I hire the talent locally.

Have one of those teams do it.

I'm not sure what question your asking if you already know teams capable of this

Its because those projects were primarily regionally focused, for the local market, and were modeled after other products that were successful elsewhere. After the projects were done, the dev shops charge annual maintenance fees, but no major changes or iteration can be done. On the other hand, my project’s target market is the US, then Europe. I would need to think long term with constant product iteration and improvement.

Have the team in Eastern Europe create the MVP.

See if you can get see if you can get sign ups with that. Then presumably you'd be able to raise capital to hire a CTO/ dev team.

Good luck
