Pivot Partners is an advisory and venture firm working in South Africa and internationally. We advise companies, and we invest in, operate and build businesses, with AI implementation at the centre of how we work.
ExploreThe people who have built companies, the people who have closed the deals, and the people who write the code, on the same engagement.
We take equity, sit on the operating side, and put our engineering team inside the company.
Explore VenturesStrategy at board level, implementation on the ground, an AI capability that keeps running after we leave. See AI implementation in South Africa.
Explore AdvisoryThe engineering team that builds the thing, in both. Production AI inside live businesses, and the case studies that come out of it.
Explore the AI LabAI implementation is the throughline. The rest is how we make it land: operating strategy, growth, product and engineering, M&A and venture building.
Advisory mandates and Pivot Ventures portfolio companies across retail, wine, trade and wellness, in South Africa and North America.
