About

17 years of building real software.

BuildMyMVP isn't a side hustle or a "virtual" agency. It's a focused offer from Orchid, an Auckland-based software development studio that's been shipping production apps since 2009.

We started BuildMyMVP because we kept meeting founders with great ideas who couldn't justify a six-figure custom build just to test the waters. So we packaged what we do best: fast, fixed-price app development into something accessible.

Who We Are

An experienced team of engineers and designers.

Orchid is a tight-knit team of senior software engineers, product designers, and UX specialists based in Auckland, New Zealand. We work across mobile app development, web-based software, and end-to-end product design.

Our clients range from startup founders launching their first product to established businesses replacing aging internal systems. What they have in common is they expect software that actually works and they want a team they can trust to deliver it.

What We Do

Software for the real world.

Mobile Apps

Native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android. From consumer-facing products in the App Store to internal tools for field teams.

Web Software

Custom web apps, dashboards, and operational platforms. We've built systems trusted by thousands of users in production every day.

UI/UX Design

Product design that's grounded in real research, not guesswork. We design interfaces people actually want to use — and we test them before we ship.

How We Work

Hands-on, honest, and fast.

We're not a body shop. We don't outsource. Every project is delivered by people who care about the outcome and have the skills to make it happen.

For BuildMyMVP, that means you get a small, senior team (not a junior developer following a template and Googling "how to..." every step of the way). We move fast because we've built this stuff before.

We move fast because we've built this stuff before. We give you a fixed price because we're confident in our scope. And we tell you the truth because we'd rather lose a project than over-promise.
