Getting started

01

What exactly is a 'quokkacorn'?

A Quokkacorn is a small, profitable AI software business in a niche you know — built to earn, not to pitch a billion-dollar exit. You keep the brand, domain, and customer data. We build and run the product foundation: code, billing, hosting, analytics. Think micro-SaaS with AI where it helps — resilient, founder-owned, Perth-built. Thousands of quokkacorns beat one mythic unicorn.

02

Do I need technical skills?

No. We handle the technical heavy lifting — product code, AI features, integrations, infrastructure, deployment. You bring the niche expertise; we bring the technology and platform ops.

03

How quickly can I launch?

Most ventures follow our 90-day track: we scope in week 1, build through weeks 2–4, and soft-launch with billing live and first dollars arriving around weeks 5–6, then scale to day 90. If you're customising a ready-made playbook rather than building something net-new, the early steps move faster.

Pricing & terms

01

What does pricing look like?

Validation and scope are free. Builder is A$149/mo. Pro is A$399/mo once live. Quokkacorn takes a 1.5% platform transaction fee on processed venture revenue from first payment, plus a separate 12% rev share only after 5 paying customers AND A$3k MRR. The rev share is capped at A$250k or 36 months.

02

Do you take equity?

No. Our incentive is aligned through a 1.5% platform transaction fee plus a capped rev share that converts to a flat Alumni fee after the cap. You keep 100% ownership of your venture, brand, domain, and customer data.

03

What happens after the rev-share cap?

You roll onto Alumni — flat hosting, 0% rev share, month-to-month. Three bands: A$299/mo base, A$799/mo at A$500k+ ARR, A$1,999/mo at A$2M+ ARR (ceiling). You can also buy out anytime at 24× your last month's share.

Playbooks & technology

01

What playbooks do you offer?

Playbooks are validated product blueprints — Proxiva (property maintenance), CareNotes AI (clinical documentation), Annexa (ISO 27001 compliance), and others on the Playbooks page. You pick a shape, we customise branding and niche fit in week one, then build out from there. They are not the same as nursery ventures: those are studio-built products already in scope, build, or pilot — adopt or lease one that's nearly ready (see the homepage nursery table). Trunklines, our live multi-tenant AI voice platform, is licensed as operator wedges such as FrontDesk WA.

02

What's the difference between playbooks and nursery ventures?

Playbooks are starting blueprints — proven product shapes we tailor to your market from a clean slate. Nursery ventures are further along: already scoped, partially built, or piloting inside the studio (e.g. Lensmilk, MyBioBlueprint). Adopt a nursery venture if you want to skip early discovery; start from a playbook if you want a validated template customised to your niche; bring your own niche if neither fits.

03

Can I customise a playbook?

Absolutely. Playbooks are starting templates — we customise them to your niche in the first week. If your industry needs something entirely new, we build it from scratch during the clarity sprint.

04

What AI technology do you use?

State-of-the-art LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic) for chat and voice agents, with custom fine-tuning and prompt engineering. Infrastructure hosted in Australia where possible.

Ownership & control

01

Do I own my customer data?

Yes. You own your domain, customer data, code repositories, and integrations. Everything is portable.

02

Can I hire my own developers later?

Absolutely. You own the codebase, so you can hire developers to extend or modify it anytime. We provide documentation and onboarding support.

03

What if I want to transfer my venture?

You can request a Verified Transfer review. Quokkacorn treats these as software asset, license, or operator-rights transfers. Approved transfers carry a 7.5% broker fee and require the right agreement before anything changes hands.

Cohorts & waitlist

01

How do cohorts work?

We open cohorts every few weeks with a limited number of spots (5–10 founders). Waitlist members get first access.

02

What does joining the waitlist do?

You tell us whether you're a founder, Launchpad prospect, agency, template buyer/seller, expert, or Verified Transfers buyer/seller. We route you manually until those product surfaces are fully automated.

03

Can I start immediately?

We prioritise cohort-based onboarding, but if you have an urgent opportunity, email hey@quokkacorn.com and we'll see what we can do.
