One team for the
whole build.

Design, engineering, AI, data, and reliability under one roof — so nothing gets lost in the handoffs between vendors.

Interface design

Research, UX, and interface design that ships — from wireframes to a polished, accessible design system.

Web & full-stack

End-to-end web apps and platforms. TypeScript, React/Next.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL.

AI & machine learning

LLM and RAG systems, model training, evaluation, and production ML that holds up under real load.

Mobile apps

Cross-platform iOS and Android from one codebase — or native where performance demands it.

Data & infrastructure

Pipelines, warehouses, APIs, and the cloud infrastructure that connects your systems.

DevOps & SRE

CI/CD, observability, and on-call reliability so everything we ship stays up.

The people behind
the systems.

13 specialist communities where engineers, founders and writers across Africa review each other's work, share real roles and build together. $15 once, for life.

We train the engineers
we ship with.

Our academy takes you from first code to a live system with paying customers, in five phases. Every phase builds on the last.

Find your program
  1. Months 0 – 3

    Engineering Core

    Start from wherever you are.

    You finish with: The ability to write production-quality code and solve real engineering problems.

  2. Months 3 – 6

    Core AI Curriculum

    The engine of every system you'll build.

    You finish with: AI systems you built, deployed and now maintain in production.

  3. Months 6 – 9

    Niche Systems Development

    Pick a real problem. Build the solution. Get users.

    You finish with: A deployed AI system, active users, and evidence that people want it.

  4. Months 9 – 12

    Launch & Scale

    Get people to pay for it.

    You finish with: Paying customers, a working revenue model, and the skills to grow it.

  5. Months 12+

    Co-founder Matching & Incubation

    Build with someone who's been through the same fire.

    You finish with: A co-founded company with paying users and a real team.

From a brief to
software in production.

A clear path with a demo every sprint — you always know exactly where the build stands.

  1. 01

    Scope

    A short discovery — goals, constraints, success metrics. You leave with a plan and a fixed quote.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architecture and UX. We de-risk the hard parts before a line of production code is written.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints, demoed live. You see working software every sprint — not a status deck.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Tested, observable, deployed to production. Real users, real uptime, from day one.

  5. 05

    Maintain

    We stay on for monitoring, iteration, and support — or hand over a clean, documented codebase.

Engineers who've shipped to production.

Real systems, real uptime, real users — from data pipelines and APIs to AI running live under load.

Proven tools,
not the flavour of the month.

A partner, not
a black box.

Senior-only engineers

No juniors billed as seniors. Everyone who touches your code has shipped to production before.

You own everything

Full IP, source, and infrastructure — documented and transferable from the first commit.

Real timezone overlap

We work your hours. Africa, Europe, and US overlap with daily standups and same-day replies.

Predictable billing

A fixed weekly rate, no surprise invoices. Pause or scale with two weeks’ notice.

Working software every sprint

A live demo every two weeks — you see real, shippable progress, not a status deck.

Straight to the engineers

You talk directly to the people building your systems — no account managers, no handoffs.
