Queensland
MVP development for Gold Coast founders
A fixed $3,500 AUD, three features, deployed in 48 hours. Built remotely from Brisbane for founders on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
Short answer
Yes — Gold Coast 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. Close enough to Brisbane that meeting in person for the discovery call or handover is straightforward if you would rather do it that way.
The Gold Coast startup picture
The Gold Coast startup scene skews heavily towards tourism, health, fitness, property and e-commerce — businesses with real customers and real cash flow, rather than venture-funded moonshots. That is close to ideal for a 48-hour MVP: the product usually has a paying customer waiting for it, so the only question is whether it works, and that question can be answered in a weekend.

Common questions
- Do you work with founders on the Gold Coast?
- Yes. Launch My MVP is Stan O’Donnell, based in Brisbane, working remotely with Gold Coast founders. Close enough to Brisbane that meeting in person for the discovery call or handover is straightforward if you would rather do it that way.
- How does the timezone work for a Gold Coast build?
- Gold Coast runs on AEST (UTC+10, no daylight saving). Same timezone and about an hour up the motorway, so an in-person discovery call is genuinely possible.
- What does an MVP cost for a Gold Coast 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 Queensland founders use?
- Advance Queensland Ignite Ideas Fund; City of Gold Coast business support programs; Federal R&D Tax Incentive. A working product makes most of these applications considerably easier to substantiate.
