More ideas than you can ship?Let's get them live, now.
The market moves every week, and your next product, channel or wallet is already waiting its turn. Our pods plug into your team with security and compliance in every sprint, so ideas reach your customers while the platform underneath gets stronger.
The innovation queue
The ideas are ready: a new channel, a new product, a wallet your customers have asked for. The business wants them now. But they wait in line behind a team that's already flat out and a platform that has to keep running while it changes, and in regulated money each one also has to get through risk. Meanwhile the market keeps launching.
“We've got more ideas than we can ship.”
“When can we get that live?”
“It still has to get through risk.”
Every week an idea waits is a week someone else can launch it.

What got out of the queue
Different businesses, the same need: the next thing, live, without anything failing review.
- 01
Lesaka. A JSE- and Nasdaq-listed fintech group with more innovation on the go than one team could carry. Our pods worked in parallel alongside theirs, and the first major milestone landed two days before its committed date.

GoldBits. A regulated gold-savings platform that launched a new channel inside VodaPay in the middle of a full rebuild.
- 03
Peermont. A casino wallet and more ways to pay, added one after another to the loyalty platform its guests already use.

A Big Five bank. Risk models turned into dashboards the business can use, delivered from inside the bank's own security controls.
- 05
A digital identity provider. A regulated identity app, from the first sprint to launch in five and a half months.
What gets ideas out, safely
Speed in regulated money comes from planning for the review from the first sprint, so the next thing in your queue can leave sooner.
- 01
More hands, in parallel. Pods work side by side with your team, so several ideas move at once.
- 02
Security and compliance in every sprint. Reviews are built into the work as it goes, so nothing waits for a gate at the end.
- 03
Build while you strengthen. New products ship on top while the foundations are strengthened piece by piece, in releases your team can review.
- 04
Small, reviewed releases. Every change is checked by another engineer and tested before it goes out, so each one is easy to approve.
What people ask us first.
How would you work with our team, and what does it cost?
Pods plug into your team, in parallel if you need more than one: experienced engineers, design, analysis and testing, working in your process with your people. It costs the same as outsourcing a single developer, and you only pay for the time you use. See Innovation Pods.
Can you work inside our bank's security controls?
Yes. We've delivered from inside a Big Five bank's own security and governance environment, and we plan for that onboarding from day one so it doesn't eat into the dates.
Our core platform is old. Do we have to rebuild it first?
No. GoldBits kept launching while its platform was rebuilt underneath. See Legacy modernisation.
Who owns the platform and the code?
You do, outright: the code, the designs and everything we build for you.
What does it look like when it works?
Something leaves the queue every few weeks: a channel live, a product in market, a wallet in customers' hands. The platform underneath gets stronger as it goes, and every release passes review.
