Highly recommend Hyper Studio as a startup partner.

As a non-technical, non-design founder, I was looking for more than just an agency to build an app — I needed a strategic partner who could help turn my idea into a commercially viable product. Hyper Studio delivered.

What sets them apart is their deep understanding of what actually works in the startup world. They bridge the gap for founders who don’t come from tech or design backgrounds and offer guidance rooted in real experience — both the wins and the failures they’ve seen firsthand.

Rather than just building something that looks good, they’re laser-focused on commercial outcomes. Every decision was made with growth, product-market fit and ROI in mind. If you want a team that cares as much about your business goals as you do, Hyper Studio is it.

Hyper out sources all work to very very…

Hyper out sources all work to very very low level designers and developers. They lie and are very very deceptive. Don’t waste your money!

After completing two more accelerators & expanding my network in the startup space. I haven’t heard of a single person who has gone through this accelerator or industry expert in Aus say one positive thing about Hyper.

They allege an incredible reputation but removed their google reviews… In fact I would question the legitimacy of some of these trust pilot reviews.

Save your money and use canva, Figma and ProtoPie yourself & watch all of the startup videos on Y Combinator.

When I raised issues with upper management about the level of work provided they were extremely defensive, shifted blame, weaponised my politeness to their junior staff against me and took 0 accountability or provided any path to resolution.

Now PLEASE stop sending me digital ads!

Hi Helen,

We’re sorry to hear you’re still feeling this way. We're genuinely unsure what prompted this so we want to clarify a few points for others reading.

Our in-house team worked closely with you throughout the process to deliver quality assets for your new startup. These received glowing written reviews by yourself, our test audiences and investment partners.

We also facilitated introductions to our investment partners that included Square Peg, Skalata and Galileo and created publicity opportunities for your startup such as Bondi Shark Tank. We were sad to hear that you didn't take up any of these opportunities.

The claim about reviews being fake or removed is simply false. We have over 500 five star reviews on TrustPilot, Facebook and Google from real and verifiable founders that reflect genuine experiences with our team.

We sincerely wish you the best in your journey and hope you find the right partner you're looking for.

The Hyper team

For early-stage founders....

For early-stage founders looking to build impactful products, I highly recommend Hyper Startup Studio.

Tim was particularly supportive, ensuring that all commercial aspects, including a well-thought-out go-to-market strategy, were thoroughly planned and addressed.

Their team excelled in understanding the core problem and helped in translating that into an excellent product-market fit concept.

In particular, Leah's efficiency and deep comprehension of the platform were impressive. Leah's leadership in UI and design was instrumental in ensuring the brand's vision was effectively visualised for market launch.

Working with Hyper as a startup accelerator was a fantastic experience. Their UI and product team were exceptional, providing great support throughout the process.

A Seamless Startup Accelerator Experience

Working on a startup idea alongside my co-founder (Faruk), we found Hyper and teir accelerator program. From revieing online and the intial meeting with Jay, the accelerator seemed like it could deliver real value and support us through the early stages. Hyper not only met but exceeded our expectations in every aspect.

From the first contact to receiving all deliverables, the entire process was clear, professional, and incredibly well-structured. Communication was straightforward, and every team member involved was insightful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to our success.

What stood out the most:
1. Everything was transparent from the get go and we received all promised assets.
2. Everyone we worked with was responsive, patient, and invested in our startup's success.
3. The mentorship and guidance was adated to what we wanted it to be, whilst keeping us on track.

The experience on Hyper's accelerator program, has been fruitful for our startup journey, as it helped us get a jump start and we now have a clear roadmap.

Thank you, Hyper, for making this process so seamless and impactful! Also a speacial thanks to Jay, Haydn, Elisabetta and Morgan!

I had a great experience with my 1st…

I had a great experience with my 1st start up product working with Hyper, so it was a no brainer to reach out again years later for my 2nd startup journey.

We have completed a couple of stages now, and it's been successful beyond expectations so far. Their team feels like your in-house team, and that you are their No 1 client. They work to your schedule, so the product evolves at a productive pace making sure no bullet point is forgotten and every variation is considered and reviewed.

They also have a wider support team on hand for any commercial or consulting questions you might have which is invaluable as all startups become a web of technical skills you won't have yourself - but Hyper have you covered.

I'm currently now in the build stage with our in-house devs but planning to retain Hyper in our journey as much as possible b/c they add a lot of value and experience elevating our product to it's full potential. Thank you Leah and Spencer for the dedicated months of hard work the results are excellent!

I wholeheartedly recommend Hyper

I wholeheartedly recommend Hyper Studios to any aspiring entrepreneur looking to launch their startup. Their Accelerate program has been instrumental in bringing Numery to life.
From the initial ideation phase to developing a compelling pitch deck and prototype, the Hyper team provided invaluable guidance and support every step of the way.
Ellison, Haydn, and Cristina were all incredible to work with – knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my success. Their expertise in branding, UX/UI design, and business strategy was essential in shaping Numery's vision and creating a solid foundation for the future.

Hyper - The Startup Super-charger

The Hyper team were fantastic in supporting the development and realization of my startup. They were agile, collaborative, accommodating and always willing to answer questions and provide support. It has been a valuable reminder that while you may have the capability to do all the work as a Founder, recognizing you don't have the capacity and trusting a great team to help get you there while you lead the vision is truly worth it. An equally important lesson when stepping into an organisation leadership role as CEO of your own company. I hope to have the opportunity to work with the team again soon!

Highly recommend working with Hyper if you plan to start a tech business. They have a great programme to support you to validate your idea, create a prototype to bring it to life, branding, work with you on go to market strategy, SEIS/EIS business plan and your pitch to partners / investors.

A special shout-out to Bill, Cristina and Jamie who were brilliant in the 'Accelerate' process - we really appreciated all their help and they really did help us to accelerate our progress.

The Business Partner We all Need

Hyper did an amazing job. Working with Haydn has been a blast, helping us get organized by creating a structure for our start-up process. To top it off, I've learned so much priceless industry knowledge. They are like the experienced business partner you know you need to make your idea come to life. Their comprehensive service is just that, even putting you in front of suitable investors. I really wish I had known about Hyper sooner.

Hyper, Simply above and beyond

Joining Hyper was one of the best decisions I made for my business. I came to Hyper as a mere man with an idea and after just a few months they turned me into a man on a mission. My idea grew into a vision and that vision into a business. The accelerator not only gave me access to invaluable resources, like the incredible Elisabetta in the product team, but also introduced me to a network and peers who were instrumental in shaping my strategy.

What stood out the most was the personalised mentorship. Haydn genuinely cared about my startup’s success and consistently went above and beyond to connect me with the right people and opportunities.

Thanks guys!
