About
A small studio, close to the ground.
We are a software development company in Mogadishu. We design and build the systems businesses run on — and we stay reachable after they launch.
Our story
It started with a notebook
A shop owner in Hodan kept her whole business in a school exercise book. Names, prices, who owed what. When a page went missing, so did the money — and there was nothing she could do about it.
We tried to set her up on one of the big international tools. It asked for a Visa card. She does not have one. Almost nobody here does. She has EVC Plus, like everyone else, and it works perfectly well — it just is not the kind of money that global software knows how to accept.
The problem was never that businesses here could not pay. It is that nobody built anything they could pay with.
So we built it — a till, a stock room, a rent roll and an invoice book that collect through the rails already moving money in this country. Then her cousin needed a restaurant system, and a friend a website, and a landlord a way to send tenants their receipts. That is the studio: the same small team, building the next thing a business here needs.
What we believe
Three things we won’t compromise on
- Money the local wayIf it does not work with EVC Plus at a market stall on patchy signal, it does not ship. We build for the wallet in your customer’s hand, not the card in someone else’s.
- Built for how business is actually done herePrices in dollars, payment by mobile money, a phone instead of a desktop. We build around the way businesses already work rather than bending them to fit software written elsewhere.
- Your code and data are yoursYou get the repository, the database and the accounts. No lock-in, no cancellation fee. If we stop earning the work, you should be able to walk.
How we work
Five stages, each with something in your hands
No stage ends on a promise. Each one ends on a document, a screen or a link you can open.

What we build with
Boring on purpose. Every choice here is one a small team can run for years and hand over cleanly.
