Companies & Ventures
Building products and companies at the intersection of thinking, learning, and creating. I believe in solving real problems for real people.
Origen Software
As CEO and co-founder, I lead our team in building custom software products for clients and partners. Focused on delivering high-quality solutions that solve real problems.
Rode Publications & Media
As CTO, I drive the technology strategy and digital infrastructure behind our publishing and media ventures. Building the systems that power content creation, distribution, and audience engagement at scale.
Startup Club ZA
As advisor, partner, and head of platform, I help connect founders with the resources, mentorship, and community they need to build and scale in South Africa.
Boring App Studio
I founded Boring App Studio — a studio that ships small, useful apps with unfair speed. No hype, no pitch decks, just products with suspiciously good traction.
FirstAlert
I'm an investor and partner at FirstAlert — smart CCTV monitoring and alerts that plug into existing cameras to detect and verify security incidents, then escalate them to response teams.
Origen Productions
As an investor, producer, and director at Origen Productions, I bring stories to life on stage. We're a theatre production company committed to producing compelling, thought-provoking work that resonates with audiences and pushes creative boundaries.
Building Philosophy
I focus on building businesses that genuinely improve how people think, learn, and create. Every company I start or invest in must pass the "does this make the world meaningfully better?" test.
Always Learning
Each venture teaches something new. I share lessons learned, failures, and wins openly through my writing. Building in public creates accountability and helps others avoid the same mistakes.
