Zero → business · AI-accelerated

Turn your idea into a working business.

We help you work out what to build, build it, launch it, and keep it running. Product, software and infrastructure — from the first conversation to a working operation. One team from idea to operation.

01

How it works

Four stages, one engagement. We don’t hand you a build and disappear at the point the hard part starts.

  1. 01Scope

    Work out what to build

    We start with the business, not the software. What has to be true for this to make money, who it serves, and what the smallest version that proves it looks like. Most ideas get smaller here — that is the point.

    You leave witha clear scope and a practical way forward.

  2. 02Build

    Build it faster with AI where it helps

    We use AI to compress the parts of product development it is genuinely good at, and leave it out where it is not — design and engineering judgement stay where they matter. You see working software early and often, not a slide deck at the end.

    You seeworking software early in the process.

  3. 03Launch

    Put it in front of real customers

    Domains, hosting, mailboxes, payments, analytics. The unglamorous list that sits between a finished build and a business that can take money.

    You geta live product customers can actually pay for.

  4. 04Run

    Keep it running

    We operate what we ship. Monitoring, updates, fixes and the next round of work — so the thing you launched is still standing a year later.

    You havea team that already knows what was built and how it runs.

From ideas to working products

Our own products and commissioned client work. Each example shows what we helped take from an idea or starting point into something working.

01Own product · SaaS

Ask Niva

We took Ask Niva from concept to a managed SaaS product, including product design, customer onboarding, payments, infrastructure, deployment and ongoing operation — each customer on a private instance we deploy, patch and keep up.

From idea to an operational software product.

The AskNiva home page: a light product site introducing an always-on assistant that runs on a managed private instance.
02Client work · Web

Simukai Coaching

A South African coaching practice with no web presence. We built its brand presence, website, enquiry journey and hosting, and continue to operate the site.

From no web presence to a working online enquiry channel.

The Simukai Coaching home page: a warm, photographic site for a coaching practice.

Shopaholics

A collaborative shopping app for households — real-time shared lists organised by store, recipe import, receipt scanning and cost splitting. Installs straight from the browser, with a native iPhone app in development.

Consumer product taken through to a native iOS build.

Paper Trail

A research platform that pulls news, market data and other information into one feed, then analyses it across sources to surface trends and market signals.

Our own product, taken through the same four stages.

The Paper Trail landing page: a private research desk tracking news narratives, prediction markets and positioning data.
03

What it costs

Every business is a different shape.

We start with the problem, work out the smallest thing worth building, and define the scope before development starts.

What the first conversation gives you
  • A focused conversation about the idea
  • An honest view on whether software is the right answer
  • A clearer sense of what would be worth building first
