Australian Capital Territory
MVP development for Canberra founders
A fixed $3,500 AUD, three features, deployed in 48 hours. Built remotely from Brisbane for founders in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.
Short answer
Yes — Canberra founders are worked with regularly, remotely, from Brisbane. The price is the same everywhere in Australia: $3,500 AUD fixed for three features deployed in 48 hours. Fully remote. If your project has security or sovereignty requirements, say so on the discovery call — it changes what can honestly be promised, and it is better to find that out in the first 30 minutes.
The Canberra startup picture
Canberra is a government town, and that shapes everything about building software here. Procurement is slow, security expectations are high, and the most valuable thing a founder can bring to a conversation is something that already exists and can be demonstrated. A working MVP is worth more in a Canberra meeting than a polished deck is anywhere else. Note the honest limit: if your product needs IRAP assessment or hosting inside a government-certified environment, that is beyond a 48-hour build — but a working prototype to prove the concept before you invest in compliance is exactly the right first step.

Common questions
- Do you work with founders in Canberra?
- Yes. Launch My MVP is Stan O’Donnell, based in Brisbane, working remotely with Canberra founders. Fully remote. If your project has security or sovereignty requirements, say so on the discovery call — it changes what can honestly be promised, and it is better to find that out in the first 30 minutes.
- How does the timezone work for a Canberra build?
- Canberra runs on AEST/AEDT (UTC+10, UTC+11 in summer). Same hours as Brisbane in winter, an hour ahead in summer.
- What does an MVP cost for a Canberra startup?
- $3,500 AUD fixed, with a $1,750 AUD deposit to hold a build slot and the balance due after the demo. The price is the same wherever you are in Australia.
- What grants or funding can Australian Capital Territory founders use?
- ACT Government Priority Investment Program and innovation grants; Federal government pilot and procurement pathways; Federal R&D Tax Incentive. A working product makes most of these applications considerably easier to substantiate.
