Australia's Startup Founders Build Faster with DevForge
We turn your startup idea into a live web or mobile product in 4-8 weeks. Trusted by Australian founders. Real-time collaboration in your afternoon.
No obligation. No pitch. Just clarity on your build.
The DevForge Advantage
Why Australian Founders Choose DevForge
Real-Time Collaboration in Your Time Zone (5.5 during AEDT)
IST is only 4.5 hours behind AEST and 5.5 hours behind AEDT. Our core hours run 9am-6pm IST, which means your team overlaps with AU business hours every afternoon. Real conversations, not a trail of async messages.
You Own 100% of the Code and IP
Every line of code, design file and credential is yours on payment. No lock-in, no equity taken.
Proven with Australian Founders
We have built four live products for Australian founders: Gooday and Bookish for non-technical founders, Metaboly with founder Tom, and StrongHERside with founder Hannah. You can watch Catherine, Lea and Tom's video stories on our case studies page.
Planning to Claim the R&D Tax Incentive?
Talk to your adviser before the build starts. R&D done outside Australia only qualifies for the R&D Tax Incentive with a positive Overseas Finding, which isn't granted for cost reasons alone, and your overseas spend must stay smaller than the related Australian R&D spend.
That makes offshore development fees hard to claim in most cases. We keep clear technical records of the work either way.
This is not tax advice.
Built for Australian Founders
Real products. Real founders. Real outcomes.
Building a Wellbeing App That Feels as Good as It Functions
Catherine Mary Said, Founder & CEO, Gooday
Catherine came to DevForge with a clear vision for a habit and wellbeing app. Non-technical founder. No prior experience with a dev team. Gooday is now live.
From Idea to a Full-Featured Social Platform for Book Lovers
Lea Nesdale, Founder, Bookish
Lea saw a gap in the market for a social space built around reading. Non-technical founder. Bookish is now a full-featured cross-platform app with book database integration.
A Clinic Platform and Client App That Keep Exercise Physiology Clients on Track
Tom, Founder, Metaboly
Tom wanted exercise physiologists to support clients between sessions. DevForge built both products: a clinic web app for practitioners and a mobile app for their clients. Metaboly is now live.
A Calm, AI-Assisted Home for Mothers Raising Children With Additional Needs
Hannah, Founder, StrongHERside
Hannah, a mum who lives it, wanted one calm place for everything she carries. DevForge designed and built the app, backend and AI features. StrongHERside is now live in Australia and New Zealand.

“Hi, I’m Catherine, founder of Good Day. We’ve been working with Dev Forge Technologies for several months, and it’s been an outstanding experience-collaborative, high-quality, and enjoyable. Vikram, the founder, set very high standards and is wonderful to work with. Our partnership has been built on trust, integrity, clear communication, and strong results. Launching Good Day with their support has been a truly positive journey, and I highly recommend their services.”
Catherine Mary Said
Founder & CEO, Gooday
“Leah, founder of Bookish, has worked with Dev Forge for over a year to turn her idea of a social media platform for book lovers into a full-featured app with news feeds, profiles, book databases, and events. As a non-technical founder, she found the team supportive, communicative, and reliable throughout the process, and she highly recommends them.”
Lea Nesdale
Founder, Bookish
“Hi, I'm Tom. I've had the great pleasure of working with Vikram both as a co-worker and as an employer, and in both cases he has done nothing but exceptional work. Truly fantastic code and work ethic. He's a massive team player. He'll not only ship what you need done as quickly as humanly possible, sometimes quicker, but he'll really think about the big picture as well and make sure that what you're putting together is efficient, affordable and long-term sustainable. I honestly couldn't think of a better person and a better team to have in your corner than Vikram and DevForge.”
Tom
Founder, Metaboly
Why Australian Founders Build with an Offshore Partner
Senior engineering talent in Australia is exceptionally high-cost, often making the capital requirements for an MVP prohibitive for early-stage founders before they have achieved product validation.
DevForge gives you an engineering team at a significantly more sustainable investment level, without the trade-offs that typically come with offshore development. We work in your time zone window, communicate clearly, and have four live products built with Australian founders: Gooday, Bookish, Metaboly and StrongHERside.
Planning an R&D Tax Incentive claim? Read our guide first: offshore development fees are generally hard to claim.
From Your Idea to a Live Product
Here is exactly how DevForge works with Australian startup founders, step by step.
Book a Free 30-Min AI Audit
Vikram personally runs every audit session. You walk through your idea, we identify the biggest risks, and you leave with a realistic build estimate. No obligation. We can schedule in AEST-friendly times.
Product Blueprint (Week 1-2)
Before writing a single line of code, we map your full product. Tech stack, architecture, phase 1 roadmap. Time spent here prevents scope creep later.
High-Velocity Build (Weeks 2-6)
We use AI-augmented development to ship your core product fast. Our pre-built base layers mean you are not paying for boilerplate. You get working software, not a timeline estimate.
Harden and Test (Weeks 6-7)
Security, performance, and edge case testing before anything goes live.
Launch and Iterate (Week 8+)
Your product goes live. Real users. Real feedback. We stay with you through the iteration cycle and can scale the engagement as your product grows.
