A promising lab result is not yet a product. Define the first version before you build.
Stellenbosch teams often start from research or from the land. A short sprint turns that starting point into a first release a real customer can use.
- A $100 sprint that names the first user and workflow
- Research code shaped into software others can run
- Technical choices that suit farms, labs and small teams

For Stellenbosch builders moving from research to customers
Great science often stalls at the step where someone has to use it every day.
Research groups with a working prototype
Your prototype proves the method. A product also needs installation, support, user accounts and a plan for who maintains it.
- A path from notebook to maintainable service
- Clear ownership of data and results
- A first release small enough to finish
Agri-tech founders working with growers
Growers value tools that work in the field, in poor coverage and on busy days. We design around those conditions from the start.
- Offline-friendly capture of field records
- Simple screens for people short on time
- Data you can export when a customer asks
Student and graduate founders
You have energy and an idea but little runway. We help you choose the one thing worth building first.
- Scope sized to a small budget
- Honest advice on what to skip for now
- A foundation a future hire can pick up

From result to release
A short route for teams that begin with science or soil.
Name the first user
One working session decides who uses the result first and what they do with it.
Shape the prototype
We list what must change for the prototype to run reliably for someone other than its authors.
Build the smallest useful release
A first version with sign-in, data handling and support basics in place.
Learn from the first customers
Real use decides what to add, and whether a deeper roadmap is worth it.
Questions Stellenbosch teams ask
Short answers for people coming from research or farming.
That depends on your institution's policies and any agreements you signed, which we cannot judge. We keep the codebase clean and well documented so ownership questions are easy to settle.
