CHANGE. FOR GOOD
In today's rapidly changing world, where new technologies threaten agency and livelihoods. We chose to pause and think about human resilience, security, preservation and development.
Climate Deep Tech in Africa makes sense
But it's not just about clean energy transitions, renewables and sustainability. It's also about new product development, industrialisation and innovation that contributes to global climate goals.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Looking at post-mining economies, waste and natural resources as drivers of positive change in an increasingly uncertain world.
WATER & BIODIVERSITY
Water conservation is a critical issue in South Africa, where water scarcity affects both urban and rural communities.
Riparian ecosystems are particularly vulnerable where inefficiencies in water consumption puts around 1 Trillion Liters of water at risk every year.
We can do better together.
COMMUNITIES & JOBS
Creating jobs and developing skills are vital priorities for us. Our close connections to academic institutions and higher education enable ethical commitments we made years ago.
We are dedicated to ensuring that no community we serve is overlooked.
There's important work ahead and we are ready to tackle it.
Our Team
We have deep roots in academia, governance and corporate environments with a wealth of local and international experience. We've built businesses and pioneered technologies across cybersecurity, higher education, media and animation, additive manufacturing, material science, AI and lasers.
Why switch focus when AI widgets are so lucrative?
We first developed a functional AI Teaching & Learning Agent back in 2023, long before 'Agentic AI' became popular or even feasible.
It felt like a natural progression in the higher education sector where we had already achieved significant success. Abandoning that seems unwise, right?
Perhaps. But we carefully examined the technology landscape and saw misalignments with our values that we couldn’t ignore.
The reckless attitudes towards job security, indifferent discussions about energy consumption in data centers, water rights and the risky 'win at all costs' mentality of some frontier tech companies left us feeling very uneasy.
Everywhere we looked, it seemed like humans were being sidelined or reduced to data points in a reward model that should embarrass even the most ardent capitalist. And it's only getting worse.
We could not, in good conscience be complicit in these actions any longer.
So we decided to do something more meaningful with our time.
