Businesses we work with, build for, and hold a stake in.
Advisory clients and Pivot Ventures companies across grocery retail, wine and trade, and wellness, in South Africa and North America. Some of it is AI in production: search shipped into a live marketplace, AI embedded across a distributor. Some of it is executive advisory, and some is a platform built from scratch. Each entry says which.
Pick n Pay is one of South Africa’s largest grocery retailers. We led a business-continuity programme, hardening the systems and processes the business runs on.
Boxer is South Africa’s leading discount grocery retailer: 500-plus stores, newly listed on the JSE. We supported the team through that listing, and now hold a broader remit across innovation and partnerships.
Port2Port is a Pivot Ventures company and South Africa’s leading online wine and spirits marketplace: rare bottles shipped worldwide, straight from the source. We drive the engineering and platform work, advise the CEO, and in August 2026 shipped Hybrid Search, so the search box reads a plain English sentence instead of a keyword. Read the case study →
A leading South African fine-wine distributor: premium labels placed across restaurants, hotels and lodges nationwide. Together with Craft Liquor Merchants. We are building technology across both businesses, leading an innovation task force and embedding AI, while guiding the executive team through the change it brings.
CellarMe is a Pivot Ventures company. It turns winery tasting rooms into global sales: visitors buy in their local currency and have the wine shipped to their door. We built the platform end to end and keep innovating on it with the founding team.
Formula Fig
A high-tech skincare studio scaling across North America on a membership model. We assisted in building the core of their digital stack: booking, business intelligence and the members’ portal. We continue to extend it.
