New South Wales
MVP development for Sydney founders
A fixed $3,500 AUD, three features, deployed in 48 hours. Built remotely from Brisbane for founders in Sydney, New South Wales.
Short answer
Yes — Sydney 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. Every Sydney build runs on a scheduled video call plus a written scope, which in practice is faster than the equivalent local agency engagement because there is nobody between you and the developer. If you specifically want someone in a room in Sydney, a local agency is the honest answer — you will pay several times the price for it.
The Sydney startup picture
Sydney has the deepest investor pool in the country and, as a direct consequence, the highest expectations. Pitching an idea here without a working product is harder than anywhere else in Australia, because the person across the table has seen forty decks this month. A deployed MVP with real users changes that conversation completely, and it costs a fraction of the Sydney agency rate you would otherwise be quoted for it.
