Product & Operations, fully operated · Africa

Your product team.
Built, run, and supported — without hiring one.

We are the embedded product, engineering, and operations function for African businesses that sell something real — but don't want to build and manage a tech department to do it.

The trap

Building a tech team is the hard way to ship a product.

01

A talent war you can't win

Good engineers are scarce, priced in dollars, and one offer away from japa. You can't assess them, and you can't out-bid the startups chasing the same five people.

02

A function you can't manage

A real product team needs PMs, designers, engineers, QA, DevOps and support — plus someone senior who actually knows how to run all of it. That hire alone is hard to find on the continent.

03

Local currency cost, before any revenue

Salaries, dollar-priced tools, cloud bills and devices start draining cash from day one. The product that's meant to pay for them arrives months later — if the team holds together.

The model — B.O.S.

One partner for the entire product lifecycle.

We take the three functions you'd otherwise hire across nine roles and deliver them as a single accountable engagement: Build, Operate, Support.

Phase 01
Build

From idea to a product in market

Strategy, design, and engineering that turns your business into working software.

  • Product strategy & roadmap
  • UX/UI & brand systems
  • Full-stack engineering
  • QA, security & launch
Phase 02
Operate

We keep it live and improving

The product runs on our infrastructure and our team, monitored and shipped continuously.

  • Cloud hosting & DevOps
  • Uptime & performance monitoring
  • Iteration & feature delivery
  • Data, analytics & reporting
Phase 03
Support

Your users are looked after

Tier‑1 to tier‑3 support, so your customers and your team always have someone to call.

  • Customer & technical support
  • Incident response & SLAs
  • Maintenance & updates
  • Dedicated account lead
Capabilities

Everything an in‑house tech org would do.

One contract instead of a department. Here's what's covered under the hood.

[ strategy ]

Product Management

Roadmaps, discovery, prioritisation and delivery owned end to end by a named product lead.

[ design ]

Design & Research

User research, UX, interface and brand design that make the product easy to adopt.

[ engineering ]

Software Engineering

Web, mobile, USSD, WhatsApp and API builds — engineered for real African networks and low-end devices.

[ infra ]

DevOps & Cloud

Hosting, CI/CD, security and infrastructure managed so you never think about servers or downtime.

[ quality ]

QA & Reliability

Automated and manual testing, monitoring and SLAs that keep releases boring — in a good way.

[ care ]

Operations & Support

Customer support, payments & reconciliation tooling, and incident response — African business hours covered.

Packages

Pricing that replaces a payroll line.

Engagements are monthly and scale as your product grows. No equity required — far less than the cost of building and retaining the team yourself. Switch to your local currency below.
