We build MVPs that help you test and learn, impress investors, and set the right foundation for what comes next. OK200 is a Melbourne-based development team that takes non-technical founders from idea to a working product in market, without the agency hand-offs and without burning runway on the wrong technical bets.
Most MVP shops stop the day they hand you a build. We don't. The same team that scopes your MVP designs it, builds it, ships it, and is still around when the first 50 users tell you what you got wrong.
Book a discovery callPlenty of founders now come to us with a first version already built using AI tools. You described what you wanted, the model wrote the code, and for a while it worked. Then the demo broke in front of a customer, the costs stopped making sense, or someone told you the whole thing needs rebuilding before it can take real users. That is the wall, and getting you past it is exactly what we do.
We take AI-built and vibe-coded prototypes to production. We keep what already works, fix what does not, and put the parts you cannot see in place, so you keep the momentum you already have instead of starting from a blank page.
See how we take AI prototypes to productionAn MVP build is the smallest version of your product that lets real users do the one thing your business depends on. It is not a prototype, not a wireframe, and not a slide deck. It is a real, deployed application with real customer data and real billing if that is part of the pitch. Built in a stack you can keep growing on, not one that has to be thrown away after the seed round closes.
Non-technical founders at the pre-seed or seed stage who need to put a product in front of customers and investors fast, and who would rather work with an in-house Melbourne team than coordinate an offshore agency over Slack at midnight. If you have a co-founder who codes, you probably do not need us. If you don't, this is exactly what we do.
Every MVP starts with strategy, before we write a line of code. We run discovery and planning sessions with you and your team, keep the focus on the people who will actually use the product, and turn that into a research-backed technical roadmap that lays out what to build, in what order, and why. We prioritise features on real user needs rather than guesswork, and recommend the right tools for the job, whether that is a traditional build, no-code, or a lo-fi prototype to test an assumption first. You go into the build with a clear view of the features, the effort, and the real cost.
For the ranges rather than the process, we wrote up what it costs to build an app in Australia and what technical scoping involves.
Agencies optimise for billable hours and clean handovers. Founders optimise for shipping a product that earns revenue. Those two goals pull in opposite directions when scope inevitably shifts mid-build. We are an in-house team led by a senior CTO with decades of startup experience, so the strategic decisions and the engineering decisions happen in the same conversation, not across a contract boundary.
Timeline and investment depend on what your MVP actually needs, usually around 3 months' build or less, which is exactly what the strategy and roadmap work is there to pin down. Most builds sit in a range a pre-seed or seed-stage founder can plan around. Once we have scoped it together, you will have a clear picture of timeline and cost before any build work begins.
Get in touch to talk through your MVP and find out whether we are the right team to build it.
Most of our MVP builds run to around three months or less. The strategy and roadmap work at the start is what pins the timeline down, so you know before the build begins rather than halfway through it.
It depends on what your MVP actually needs to do, which is what strategy settles and scoping then prices. Most builds sit in a range a pre-seed or seed-stage founder can plan around, and you get a clear figure before any build work starts.
Yes, all of it. The code, the IP, the infrastructure and the accounts are yours outright. If you later build an in-house team, we help hand it over rather than holding onto it.
Often yes. We look at what is there, tell you honestly what is worth keeping and what needs replacing, and give you a straight answer before you spend anything. We do not take on tangled legacy code just to bill hours on it.
