For Investors
The Financial Operating System for South African SMEs
We're building the data foundation for AI-powered accounting—starting with customer acquisition modules that generate proprietary training data.
Early Traction
In our first 20 days, with zero marketing spend:
The Problem
For SMEs
- 2.6M SMEs in South Africa
- 70% fail within 5 years—many due to poor financial management
- Quality accounting costs R3,000-R10,000/month—out of reach
- Result: bad decisions made with bad data
For Accounting Practices
- Client acquisition costs R5,000-R15,000 per client
- Price-sensitive SME market
- Manual, repetitive work that AI could handle
- Margin pressure driving efficiency needs
Our Solution
Okhantu is a modular platform that gives SMEs free and low-cost financial tools, generating structured data as a byproduct. This data funnels qualified leads to accounting practices—and builds the training foundation for NolOS, our AI accounting assistant.
The Vision: Data-First, AI-Second
Modules that attract users and generate proprietary data
Structured SA SME financial data for AI training
AI accounting reducing costs by 40-60%
Each module attracts users + generates proprietary data. This is our moat—competitors need years to replicate.

POPIA compliance creates a trust barrier. Our verification-first approach turns regulation into competitive advantage.
SA's accounting industry is under margin pressure. Firms need efficiency tools—and qualified leads.
