Flexible, founder-friendly support to keep your startup moving.
Building a startup isn’t a straight line — it’s often more like a series of leaps, pauses, and unexpected detours. Once you’ve completed a Pit Stop or Pre-MVP Project with us, our Bus Pass retainer gives you a simple, flexible way to keep progressing without needing to hire, brief new consultants, or restart discovery every time you need a hand.
This is ongoing product support that fits the natural ebb and flow of early-stage life — practical, affordable, and always ready when you are.
What is the Bus Pass retainer?
The Bus Pass is a pre-purchased block of retainer hours (20-hour minimum with a 60-day expiry – $2500AUD ex GST*) that gives you access to our product leaders, designers, researchers, and trusted partner network on an ad hoc basis.
Because we already know your product, your customers, and your goals, you can jump straight into meaningful work without friction. No setup costs. No onboarding delays. No unnecessary scoping rounds.
Just useful, high-quality support when you need it — and only when you need it.
* per hour costs and expiry periods differ for larger block hour purchases
