About
One developer, and the honest limits of that
Launch My MVP is Stan O’Donnell, a full-stack developer in Brisbane, Australia. Not an agency with a stock-photo team page, and not a marketplace of contractors — the person you speak to is the person who writes the code.
Short answer
Launch My MVP is a one-person fixed-price MVP service run by Stan O’Donnell from Brisbane, Australia. He builds and runs his own production software — a garden-care CRM, an AI plant-identification app with paying subscribers, and an AI phone receptionist — and builds three-feature MVPs for other founders in 48 hours for a fixed $3,500 AUD.
Why this exists
It started with a garden-care business and a spreadsheet that had stopped coping. The off-the-shelf options each did part of the job badly, and the quotes to build something that fitted were tens of thousands of dollars and months of calendar time. So it got built instead — a CRM handling quoting, bookings, invoicing and customer history, still running the business today.
What that made obvious is that the gap between what a first version actually requires and what the market charges for one had become absurd. Not because agencies are dishonest — their costs are real — but because the tooling changed underneath the pricing. A hardened starter template, a mainstream stack and AI-assisted development remove most of the days that used to go into authentication, payments, deployment and boilerplate.
Launch My MVP is that gap turned into a service: a fixed price, a fixed scope, and a working product by Monday.
What has actually been shipped
This matters more than a biography, because you can check it. The Garden Barber CRM runs a real Brisbane business daily. Pocket Gardener is an AI plant, pest and weed identification product with paying subscribers. Lily is an AI phone receptionist answering live customer calls for two businesses — including this one.
That last one is worth using. +61 7 3132 2294 reaches Lily. Ring her and judge the work yourself before you speak to anybody — that is a fairer test than any portfolio page.
There is more detail on all four on the work page.
The limits of a one-person service
This is the part most service sites leave out, and it is the part worth reading. One developer means there is no redundancy: if he is unavailable, the build waits. There is no dedicated designer, so the interface is clean and credible rather than bespoke. There is no testing team, so paths are verified by hand rather than by an automated suite.
It also means there is no ongoing engineering capacity after the support window. That is deliberate — this is a delivery service, not a retainer — but it does mean that if the MVP works, you will need a developer of your own. The code is written in a mainstream stack with that in mind.
For complex, regulated or long-running products, an agency is genuinely the better answer and you will be told so on the call rather than sold a build that does not fit.

Why 48 hours, specifically
Because every week spent building is a week not spent finding out whether anyone wants it. The consistent lesson from the startup accelerators that publish their data is that the fastest route to product-market fit is launching early and changing course on real feedback rather than on reasoning.
Forty-eight hours is also short enough to force the scoping discipline that makes projects succeed. Three features, agreed in writing. Nothing added mid-build. That constraint is not a marketing hook — it is the mechanism.
The scoping checklist sets out the method, and it is worth reading whether or not you ever hire anyone.
