14 builds

Following a fast-moving story across dozens of outlets is a full-time job, and the outlets disagree. Doing it by hand means either missing things or trusting one source.

Cape, by Solo — curated social events membership for single/solo people across the whole Western Cape (locals and travellers alike), not just Sitari/Helderberg. First regional instance of the wider "Solo" premium brand (future: other regions, "Travel, by Solo"). Activity-led community (padel, wine, hikes, markets, live music), explicitly not a swipe-dating app — romantic connection can happen naturally but isn't the pitch. Curated real-world events calendar + an automated daily discovery/link-health sweep + admin-vetted, currently-free membership. Monetization plan drafted (not yet built): venue sponsorship slots + a paid "Solo+" tier — see docs/ for the full strategy memo reference.

JT Club fills the gap between Jetour SA's official brand club (polished, brand-managed) and the unstructured WhatsApp groups where real owner knowledge lives. It gives the T2 community a persistent, searchable, candid space: verified specs, owner field notes seeded from real WhatsApp exports, curated accessory suppliers, and an anonymous fault tracker that surfaces aggregate reliability data without naming individuals. The model is independent and community-run — no brand control, no dealer sponsorship, no resale marketplace. V1 shipped August 2026 as a fully static Astro site with a complete SEO layer; v1.1 target is the owner fault tracker (aggregate public counts) and a monthly digest as platform-migration insurance.

An owner with a problem has no way to tell a real build shop from a slide deck, and no way to find out what a build would involve without committing to a sales process.

Donations arrived faster than a spreadsheet could track them. Stock on hand by age and size band was guesswork, and shortfalls were found after they mattered.

Recipes scattered across screenshots, notes and memory are recipes you do not cook.

Specialty coffee is described in language most buyers do not speak. People pay more and still get a bag they do not enjoy, then stop trying.

A South African FMCG brand needed competitor pricing, margins and trade indicators consolidated and refreshed on a schedule, instead of tracked by hand across scattered spreadsheets.

A school's admissions process ran on paper and manual data entry — weeks of back-and-forth for every family, with no auditable record of where an application stood.

Uplifted is a done-for-you website-as-a-subscription service for South African small businesses, built around a clear, predictable recurring-revenue model. Now rebranded from SiteSmith ZA, it is deliberately engineered as the reference implementation that every future done-for-you client site will be cloned from. It bundles subscription billing, automated invoicing, and a referral engine so a single sale compounds into ongoing revenue and word-of-mouth growth. It is the most direct path to recurring cash flow in the current portfolio.

Decanta connects South African wine lovers with Western Cape wine farms. Snap a bottle, log your tasting, and the app learns your palate and recommends wines you'll love. Two-sided: consumer (free + Pro) and estate (verified B2B SaaS).

A plumber, an electrician or a salon owner has the same reputation problem as a national chain and none of the budget for the tools that solve it. Reviews go unanswered for weeks, requests are never sent, and the listing goes quiet — each one costing work that never gets enquired about.

When a pet goes missing, the search happens across a dozen disconnected places at once — neighbourhood groups, community pages, vets, shelters — and the one person holding the sighting that matters never reaches the owner.

Caregivers and practitioners supporting autistic people make consequential decisions in the moment, often without the context or the record that would make those decisions safer.
