Kiswahili first
Everything we build starts in Kiswahili and is then translated. Not the other way round.
How it started
In 2025 we were building a website for an estate agent in Masaki. Watching his team spend half the day on the road showing houses to buyers who did not yet know what they wanted, we asked a simple question: why should a buyer not see the whole house before getting into the car?
What already existed was expensive, English-only, and needed a connection our users do not have. So we built our own.
What we believe
East African web tools have to be built for East African conditions — inexpensive phones, data bought in bundles, Kiswahili as a first language, and payment from a phone. Not a cut-down version of a European product.
Principles
How we work
Light, as a rule
We test every feature on 3G. If it does not work in Mikocheni at two in the afternoon, it does not ship.
No long contracts
Cancel whenever you like. If the product is good, you will not need tying down.
The data is yours
Your tours, your photographs, your buyers. We hold them under the PDPA 2022 and sell them to nobody.
