Hardware startups can be lean.

Let’s design, build, test and learn together.

Quickly, cheaply and often.

So that you can focus on the things only you can do for your venture.

(Certified Bootstrap Compatible)

  • Launching a hardware product is hard. You have a set of expenses, delays and barriers to validation and iteration that your software startup counterparts do not. Maybe you’ve made a proof of concept, but how do you make 10? 100?

    Australian Investors are used to their startups that have validated products, with customers and revenue.

    How do you design and fabricate an MVP good enough to land your first customers and pilot projects, while retaining the agility needed to iterate quickly? Let alone the capital to do so?

    How do you optimise and forecast your costs to successfully pitch a compelling hardware startup?

    I can help. MVP Engineering offers prototyping services and MVP technical advice to Australian Startups, with the goal to help you achieve more with less, faster.

Rapid Prototyping

Already have a design in mind? We 3D print, CNC and even prototype PCBs locally in Sydney.

You can order standard 3D printing instantly through this website, or contact us to get a quote for other services.

We also have rush options available to get you what you need, when you need it.

  • Times vary based on size and complexity of order, but for single items the following are a good guidline:

    FDM 3D Printing: 3-5 Days.
    PCB Protyping: 3-5 Days
    Other 3D Printing: 7-14 Days.
    CNC Machining: 7-14 Days
    PCB Protyping: 3-5 Days
    Injection Molding: 20-30 Days

  • FDM 3D printing can be ordered instantly through the website! Costs for other projects require a quotation.

MVP Acceleration & Support

I will collaborate with you to design and build your MVP so that you have something that your customers will pay for and that you can painlessly iterate upon, saving you time and money in the long run.

I will also help you with the design of pilot projects and how to structure MVP sales to achieve your first revenue.

  • Depending on complexity, real progress can be made in 6-8 weeks with the prototyping tools I have available.

    This will get you your MVP, that you should be able to trial with customers on a paid basis (excluding applications with special regulatory and certification requirements).

  • Project-based quotation starting at $1000.

    Cost will vary based on your stage, internal team bandwidth and technical skillset.

    I will provide advice, remove blockers and fill in gaps so that you move as quickly as possible.

    Free 3D printing and Electronics prototyping are included in rate for duration of the project. We shouldn’t be disincentivised to iterate!

Product Optimisation & Fractional CTO

I am an IOT wizard. I can develop smart products that work globally, set up your fleet management database and data processing, and even build your customer portals and dashbards using low code tools. I will then support you along the journey of testing, iteration and refinement.

Reach out with your ideas, let’s catch up so you can get to get to know me and see if I’m a fit.

  • Initial Development Phase (12 weeks): I will leverage all of the equipment, experience and networks at my disposal to get you a proof of concept or MVP as quickly as possible, with a complete product stack around it.

    Fractional CTO phase (ongoing): The MVP is the most intense development period, and the most important to get right. However, product refinement, technical assistance, and advice around IP and Certificaton strategy are all necessary ongoing activities with a hardware product.

  • The below prices are a general guide. If you have a good idea and would like my help to get there, just reach out and let’s talk! If I cannot help, I probably know someone that can.


    Initial Development Phase:     Project-based, starting at 20k AUD + GST.

    Fractional CTO phase: on an as needed basis at an hourly rate.

Let's Connect!

I’m genuinely excited to talk to you about your project. Let’s have a chat, online, or in person at a cafe near Redfern.

If that’s what you’d like, you can book in a call directly here:

For prototyping enquiries, just fill in the form and I’ll get back to you!

If you are in desparate need of a rush prototyping or fabrication job, include your mobile number in your message so I can call you to discuss.
