Startup Consulting in Wales
Practical guidance for Welsh founders and small business owners who need help figuring out whether their app idea is feasible, and what it should cost.
If you're not technical, the startup world can feel overwhelming. Everyone has opinions about what you should build. But nobody's giving you practical, honest guidance on what to actually do next.
GoMVP is a Wales-based startup consultancy that answers the questions that matter: is this idea technically feasible? How much will it really cost? What should I build first? We're not a marketing agency, a business coach, or a dev shop. We're product strategists who help first-time founders navigate from idea to product.
Our approach is simple: start with the problem, not the solution. We help you define what you're building, validate that people want it, scope the minimum viable version, and create a plan a development team can execute. We work with founders across Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and everywhere in between, remotely or face to face.
What We Offer
Idea Feasibility Assessment
We'll tell you honestly whether your idea is technically feasible, commercially viable, and worth pursuing.
Product Scoping & Definition
Turn a vague concept into a concrete product specification with prioritised features and clear boundaries.
Technical Guidance for Non-Technical Founders
Plain-English explanations of technology choices, costs, and trade-offs so you can make informed decisions.
Market Validation Support
Landing pages, user interviews, and structured experiments to test demand before committing to a build.
Development Cost Estimation
Realistic budget ranges and phased delivery plans so there are no financial surprises.
Grant & Funding Preparation
Technical documentation that strengthens Business Wales and Development Bank of Wales applications.
Why Welsh Startups Need Specialised Consulting
Wales has a growing startup ecosystem. Cardiff's Tramshed Tech, Swansea's SA1 development, and Newport's proximity to Bristol have created clusters of ambitious founders with product ideas. But when it comes to practical startup consulting, the kind that tells you whether your idea is technically feasible and what it should cost, Welsh founders have historically been underserved.
Business Wales does excellent work on business plans and grant applications. Development Bank of Wales provides critical funding. But neither specialises in the technical question: can this product actually be built within your budget? That's the gap GoMVP fills. We work alongside these organisations, not instead of them.
Most Welsh founders we meet are first-time founders or small business owners who've spotted a gap in their market. They're not technical. They don't know whether they need a mobile app or a web app, whether to use AI or whether a spreadsheet would do, or how to evaluate developer quotes. We provide that clarity: in plain English, at a fixed price, with the benefit of understanding the Welsh funding landscape and local business ecosystem.
