My team and I worked alongside Laburnum to build our global, client-centred psychosocial health app. It was an ambitious, complex build, and they guided us through every stage with clarity and confidence. They were a genuine pleasure to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

FAQs
FAQs
What does Laburnum do?
We turn ideas into working tech businesses. We help founders and organisations take a concept the whole way, from strategy and design to engineering, launch and growth, into real software that solves a real problem. We work in two ways: as craft capital partners, investing our expertise in founders for a stake in the outcome, or as a straightforward build team for those who simply want their product built well. Either way, you get a team that's done this before.
What is 'craft capital'?
Craft capital (a term we've borrowed) is a different kind of investment. Instead of writing a cheque, we invest what's often harder for a founder to get: world-class product, design and engineering, and the commercial experience to launch and grow a business. We do this for founders we believe in, in exchange for a stake in the outcome rather than straight dollars. It means we're genuinely on the hook for your success: we share the risk, the work and the upside, and we build your business as if it were our own.
Can we just hire you to build, without the partnership?
Yes, and many of our clients do exactly that. Not every project suits a partnership, and not every founder wants one. If you'd rather simply engage us to build your product, we're happy to work that way, with the same craft and care we bring to everything. Think of craft capital and a standard build as two doors into the same team. You choose the one that fits your business; the quality of what you get doesn't change.
Who does Laburnum work with?
We work with founders, leadership teams, investors and organisations who want to turn an idea into real technology. Some are at the very start, shaping a concept; others are established businesses looking to build, expand or fix an existing product. We're industry-agnostic. Over the years we've worked across many sectors, and we find the most interesting problems tend to repeat across them. What matters more than your industry is that there's a real problem worth solving and the ambition to solve it well.
How does pricing & equity work?
There's no one-size-fits-all model; pricing depends on how you choose to work with us. For a standard build, we start by understanding your goals, define a clear scope, and agree transparent pricing for the project before any work begins. For a craft capital partnership, we invest our expertise in exchange for equity in the business, with terms shaped around its stage and needs. We're happy to talk through both and help you decide which is the right fit.
How do we get started?
Reaching out is easy, and getting going is usually fast. Send us a message through the website or email info@laburnum.com.au with a little about your idea or project. We'll arrange a first conversation to understand your goals and see whether we're the right partner. From there we define scope and timeline together, and most work can start within a month. We genuinely enjoy hearing new ideas, even if you're still figuring yours out.
