HERE’S A SCARY FACT…
Over 90% of First-Time Tech Founders Fail!
Why? They lack a proven framework.
Smart founders learn from others who have paved the way, then adopt and adapt their battle-tested strategies, tactics and process.
This Checklist is a proven success framework…
It’s the fastest and most efficient way to launch a successful tech-based startup.
Are you a First-Time Tech Founder?
What do we mean when we say ‘Tech Founder’?
Do you have an idea for a new mobile app or web app or SaaS platform – or, really any software product?
Then, you are a potential Tech Founder!
Tell me, could your idea help connect people… or help facilitate their work or play in a new or better way… or save them time?
Does your idea have the potential to disrupt or transform part of your industry, or even the whole sector?
How does that make you feel… do you get excited about the potential?
Could it help you stop relying on your job for a lifestyle?
Maybe you could finally stop just swapping your hours for money?
And, what about your choices… Could it totally change your life!
Thinking about the future can get your heart-pumping when you have a great idea that has huge potential!
Trouble is,
Your heart may also be pumping from the stress or frustration of trying to guess the best approach. Of what to do next…
Or even just where to start!
This is mostly the fear of the unknown!
Let’s be honest…
You don’t want to risk your money if it’s not going to work!
Because the fact is, over 90% of tech products do not succeed!
Why do you think most first-time tech founders fail?
In our experience, there is one main reason…
It’s their first time!
So, how do you maximise your chance of success if it’s YOUR first time?
Rather than attempting to guess the best approach using trial and error, smart founders get help.
They join an incubator or engage a startup coach, to benefit from their experience and the proven success strategies.
It just makes sense!
The best time to start planning a winning strategy for your new tech business is at the very beginning.
Before you engage a developer. And definitely, before you commit thousands on development!
Kuboom is not a developer.
Although, our founder did co-found Buzinga Apps, one of Melbourne’s fastest growing app development agencies for over 5 years.
He’s worked with hundreds of tech founders on a wide range of successful projects.
He knows what works and what doesn’t!

We coach Tech Founders (many first-time), and guide them through each stage of building a successful Tech Business.

How to Avoid a Big Mistake
What questions do you have about developing your idea?
In the past 10 years, I’ve spoken to more than 600 potential tech founders with a range of ideas, both for personal users and industry applications.
So, I’ve heard all the questions.
You’ll most likely want to know:
- How much will it cost to develop my app?
- How long will it take?
- Do you think my idea is a winner?
- Can you guarantee it will be a success?
- How can I attract investors?
Like most, you’ll probably be tempted to call an App Developer to get some of these questions answered…
Logical first move, right?
Unfortunately… It’s not!
You see, App Developers are motivated to build something… That’s how they make their money. So, their advice can be bias.
Don’t get me wrong, getting answers to these questions is important, however… The more critical question you need to ask yourself is:
Should I develop my Idea?
So, before you commit to development…
And have to shell out tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars…
There are several critical things you should prioritise, to confirm your idea is worth the time and money you plan to invest…
This time spent BEFORE development will:
- Help you to create a smart development roadmap,
- Help simplify your choice of developer,
- Increase your potential for success, and
- May save you a small fortune.
Here at Kuboom, our goal is to help you avoid the mistakes that most tech founders make and set your business up for success.
Some key outcomes include:
- Confirmation users will want your idea.
- Strategies to attract and retain Active Users.
- A long-term ‘Best Technology’ recommendation.
- Monetisation Strategies.
- Product and Business Development Roadmaps.
- An ‘Investor Ready’ plan.
- Frameworks to minimise your costs.

Hear from some of our Awesome Clients
We had a fantastic experience with Kuboom!
Kuboom reviewed the pre-launch version of our BuddyBet app. Graham and his team made several important recommendations to help optimise our technology and technical team.
Graham was further engaged to run the first BuddyBet user trials. His methodology simplified the whole process and delivered valuable insights about our users, the market and product.
We had several false starts getting my concept of Wrapt About up and running. Graham at Kuboom was able to help me clarify our objectives and create a plan.
His step-by-step approach has simplified the process of validating some core beliefs and given our investors confidence. Version 1.0 of our platform is live and gaining traction. We’re now working on V2 release.
I engaged Kuboom to help establish our initial growth strategy. Because of Graham’s experience with startups and the tech industry, he gave me extremely practical, real world business advice about what to prioritise in each stage of our business plan and growth strategy.
Graham also helped me choose a dev partner that suited our needs perfectly.
After getting conflicting advice from several developers, we weren’t certain of the best way to proceed. Graham helped us develop a plan. He is able to anticipate potential issues that I would have missed, long before they eventuate.
Of huge benefit also, is the way Graham keeps me accountable to our plan.
Graham has been able to add way more value than I originally expected. We would not be as advanced as we currently are without Graham’s coaching and advice.
Graham has agreed to come on as a permanent member of our Advisory Board.

Why Choose
Hi, my name is Graham McCorkill.
I am a startup specialist and Kuboom’s founder.
I understand the uncertainty of creating something new, from scratch, without any guarantee of success.
For the past 30+ years I’ve been in business. I have worked in the family business. I’ve been a founder or co-founder in over 14 startups. (8 that I’ll admit to)
I’ve experienced both success and failure across a range of industries.
In 2012, I co-founded a small App Development company called Buzinga Apps.
We grew Buzinga to become one of the fastest growing development agencies in Australia until late 2017.
During this time, I saw a lot of our client’s fail to achieve commercial success with their app or software product… There were many reasons.
Most of which I thought were avoidable (in retrospect).
I became obsessed with this. I studied design thinking, lean methodology, lean startup, exponential growth strategy among others.
And I spent time with successful founders analysing how they did it.
Kuboom was founded to continue this work.
Success does not just rely on developing a great product!
There are some fundamental truths about your users and the market that must be uncovered at each stage of your tech business growth, for you to achieve the level of engagement necessary for true product/market fit and commercial success.
Our Users First SystemTM includes proven strategies, methodologies and tactics to uncover these truths, and to fast track your process and success.
And, our level of training/coaching input varies depending on your need (and budget).
