Hyper Startup Studio Arvostelua 165

By the end of the experience, I will say I enjoy working with a team who has crossed the paths you're going to walk maybe times before. Really beats going at it alone.

This company targets inexperienced founders who are excited but do not know normal pricing.
They talk heavily about scaling, investment, networks, and big future potential.
They charge high upfront fees before proving real value.
Much of the actual work is often basic, templated, or outsourced.
The deliverables can be vague, overpriced, and hard to measure.
They can create the impression they will help secure investment, without giving any real guarantee of results.
By the time the client realises the output is underwhelming, a lot of money has already been spent.

Warning sign: if a company is charging thousands mainly for “strategy”, “connections”, or “getting your idea investor-ready”, but cannot clearly show exactly what you will receive, who will do the work, and what success looks like, proceed very carefully.

Very good service from staff that know their work well!

Hyper have done a fantastic job taking my big vision and shaping it into a focused MVP that addresses a real problem. They were able to distill the core concept and build a practical version that captures the essence of what I was trying to create.

It was great working with Andrew and Connor throughout the process. I’m very happy with the prototype they delivered and excited for the next stage of the journey.

Great work all-round. Would definitely recommend! 👏🏆👌

Absolutely awesome people.
Very professional and neat.
Highly recommend.

We joined Hyper with an idea but very little experience, and needed support to help us get started. From the very beginning, our journey with Hyper has been nothing short of amazing. The support we’ve received has been incredible, and knowing the team was always there to answer our questions made such a difference.

In particular, Leah and Connor were outstanding. Leah’s gentle personality made it so easy to talk to her about anything — no question was ever silly. She also put up with our crazy minds and constant changes with patience and positivity. Connor gave great advice and always steered us in the right direction, while constantly hyping us up, offering reassurance, and giving us the confidence to believe in what we were building. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and truly know their stuff.

If you’re thinking about joining Hyper, we definitely think you should!

Great job Sam and team. You are truly making a difference.

I have been involved with several start-up ecosystems, but Hyper Startup Studio is in a league of its own. Usually, as a "community member," you expect to be on the sidelines, but this team treats everyone like a top priority.

The entire team is professional and deeply knowledgeable, but I have to give a special mention to Sam. He went completely above and beyond to ensure my company, Developable, received $10,000 in AWS credits.

This is not just a "perk" for a growing company, this is a game-changer. It’s rare to find a studio that puts this much effort into someone who is not even part of their core portfolio yet.

If you are a founder looking for a community that actually delivers tangible results and genuinely cares about your success, look no further than Hyper Startup Studio.

Hyper Studio have been incredible partners in building my dating app from the ground up. From day one, the team were highly responsive, professional, and genuinely knowledgeable. They guided me with confidence through every step of the journey — from 0 to 1 — and consistently brought creative ideas that elevated the product. True experts who make a complex process feel clear and achievable.

I can’t give these guys a big enough wrap. I’ve been working with Hyper for the past three months in their accelerator program, and both Andrew and Connor have been unreal throughout the whole process – as well as the rest of the team who’ve pulled everything together behind the scenes.

Validate, prove and pressure-test every part of your idea that’s what this program is about, and that’s exactly what they help you do. If you’re looking to build a full working app straight away, this isn’t the program for you, and it’s important to understand that. But if you want validation, proof of concept, UI’s, a clear business plan and structure, key milestones to hit, and support in securing sign-ups, partnerships and investors, Hyper is the best.

Andrew and Connor – thank you boys, and thank you Hyper.

I initially spoke with James Casey-Brown about a different idea. I could not get around to proceeding with that one but James was always there and constantly invited me to workshops on Hyper's Apollo. About 2 months ago I messaged James and told him that I had a second idea that I wanted him to look into. James booked a call with me and we went through the idea together and he very eloquently and professionally gave me feedback on the idea. I was able to then raise the capital needed to go through the Hyper Accelerator program. My team from Hyper Andrew and Connor have been brilliant so far and are helping bring my vision to light. I am anxious, excited and hopeful at the same time for the future of my startup.

I strongly recommend Hyper. Coming in with zero startup or software experience, I worked closely with Robert, Andrew, Connor, and the rest of the team to turn an early idea into something unique and genuinely exciting. They provided structure, honest feedback, and hands-on support—from refining strategy to shaping an MVP and investor narrative. If you’re new to this journey, Hyper is the right crew to have in your corner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Incredible support and vision from the Hyper team!

Working with Hyper has been an amazing so far. From the beginning, the team has been supportive and genuinely invested in helping me bring my app idea to life. They’ve guided me through every step from strategy to design and planning, and made the whole process feel exciting and achievable.

Their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail have given me real confidence in my project’s potential. You can tell they truly care about seeing their founders succeed.

Highly recommend Hyper to anyone with a startup idea who wants to turn it into something real!

The excellerate program is very detailed and the collaboration between the founders and hyper team is inspired. A lot of detail and progress made on our idea making it an enjoyable process without being too rushed.

I had a fantastic experience with the accelerator program. The team were supportive, professional, and really helped bring my vision to life with a strong app design, pitch decks, financial models, website (to name a few resources). The sessions were engaging and Andrei in particular was incredible at guiding us through brainstorming and visualising how our product should look and operate. Highly recommend!

Hyper have been fantastic in helping me take my idea and shape it into something clear, practical, and ready for the market. The team are easy to work with, give smart advice, and really know how to bring out the best in an idea. I feel confident about the next steps thanks to their support and would happily recommend them.

I used Hyper for stage 1 of my startup in order to explore its potential. Hyper were very professional along this stage 1 journey, and helped me solidify my thinking around a SaaS business, potential revenue, branding, and main pages of the App look and flow designed in Figma. If you are looking for help with your startup Hyper are a great option and you won't be disappointed.

Amazing team amazing results, guided me through every step and super transperant along the way

So the positives. The response time, communication and professionalism of the members of “my team” were excellent and cannot be faulted. They also have delivered their deliverables as it stated in their documents. I will discuss quality underneath. 

Unfortunately I will stop there. I never write reviews but when you pay 11k for a service that you believe to be completely removed from that price I feel its unfortunately something I need to get off my chest.

The reality is they prey on entrepreneurs like myself who are unsure of what to do and want help. They see Hyper online and see terms like “we act as your co-founder” etc etc. They don’t. One time I tried this when I decided I needed a name change due to legal reasons. I put this into the slack channel and asked “my team” what they thought. What did I get? One tells me that it’s not really their realm of expertise and the other just says that its good. My co-founders ladies and gentlemen, who I am told provide critical thinking.

The “ideation” stage. Well if you’re looking for fun creative and engaging ideation sessions think elsewhere. 1 hour. That’s it. When that hour is up (on the dot and not a minute over) your team leave and you’ve basically ironed out nothing and have very little input to analyse. So, don’t expect them to actually help you in this respect.

Next up the deliverables. From the first moment I saw the wireframes they sent me I knew that my money was going to be better used elsewhere. Hyper will fall behind quite dramatically very soon if they don’t pay attention to this and change their structure.

Absolute all of the stuff they sent me could have been created using AI in less than a day and to better quality as I found out. The quality they are providing is just nowhere near good enough.

The logo was the tip of the iceberg for me. They sent me an icon next to a generic font. I wanted an animated crocodile for my logo. They could only make me one with an icon/emoji. Not good enough. I obviously went to chatGPT and made one in 5 minutes which I then sent them saying look at this. Their response was another logo with an icon/emoji. Not good enough and a total joke considering the fee. I said don’t worry about it. But what really annoys me again, is instead of doing all they can do make something better. They literally just use my chatGPT created logo. Absolute joke. 



I cannot fault them for delivering the deliverables. This is partly my fault as well as maybe I didn’t research as much as I should have . However in the onboarding calls, this is what really annoys me and where I have been taken advantage of. I said a lot of times I can code. Instead of actually listening to this and making my experience for 11k price different they basically do nothing. They stick with their streamlined process. In the onboarding I specifically said is there critical analysis of business decisions. “Yea mate, of course”. The reality, absolutely not, Nothing. You are left with no idea of what’s really happening and a bunch of deliverables that aren’t worth a thing.

I kept up going to meetings and zooms hoping that something would come that was of any use for me to use. Nope.

Luckily I haven’t waited around for their designs etc because unfortunately I would have lost valuable time. My advice to anyone in a similar position to me at the start with a great idea but feeling lost is do more critical thinking yourself before forking out 11,000 pounds because you don’t know where to start.
