Event Overview:
So, you’ve got a killer startup idea—but how do you bring it to life without burning through cash, spending months coding, or hiring a full-time dev team?
This month, Aussie Founders Club is diving into the alternative paths to building your first MVP—from no-code platforms and AI tools to venture studios that help founders get from concept to product faster and leaner than ever before.
We’ll chat about:
🔹 No-code & low-code—how far can you go before needing custom dev?
🔹 AI-powered product development—leveraging AI to streamline and accelerate your build
🔹 Venture studios & product accelerators—what they offer, and whether they’re the right fit for you
🔹 Real-world MVP strategies—how experienced founders have navigated these alternative paths
If you’re an early-stage founder or someone thinking about launching a startup, this is your chance to learn practical, low-cost ways to get your product up and running without needing a massive budget or technical background.
Meet the Panel:
✨ Geo George – Co-founder, Mayfly Ventures
A serial entrepreneur and venture builder, Geo helps founders turn ideas into scalable businesses. At Mayfly Ventures, he works with early-stage startups to validate, build, and launch products efficiently - often using alternative methods to traditional development.
✨ Serena Lam – Founder & CEO, Fuzzy AI
Serena is the founder of Fuzzy AI, an AI-powered tool that helps B2B teams automate personalised outreach via LinkedIn and email. She’s joining the panel to share how she landed paying customers for Fuzzy AI with nothing but a Figma prototype - proof that you don’t need to write a single line of code to start validating your idea.
✨ Xavier Andieza – Community Lead, Build Club
As the driving force behind Build Club, Xavier has worked with countless founders using no-code and low-code platforms to bring their ideas to life. He’ll share insights on when no-code is enough, when you need custom dev, and how to bridge the gap.
