Start a software project with Lioncap Ventures

Lioncap Ventures is a software development company building web platforms, mobile apps, internal systems, AI and automation, and fintech and payments integrations for businesses in Zimbabwe, South Africa and beyond. Send a project brief and we scope the work in writing before anyone commits.

How a Lioncap software project starts

Lioncap Ventures quotes every project against a written scope. There are no package options and no hourly surprises: you approve a scope, you get one fixed price for it, and the work is split half to start and half on acceptance, with code and platform handover on completion.

  1. 01. You send the brief

    Seven questions, about two minutes. No call needed to get started.

  2. 02. We scope it in writing

    We come back with the questions that matter, then put the scope on paper: what gets built, what does not, and in what order.

  3. 03. You get one fixed price

    One price against that scope. No package tiers and no hourly surprises, because we quote the work you approved.

  4. 04. We build in stages

    Half to start, half on acceptance. You see each stage running rather than waiting for one reveal at the end.

The project brief: what we ask

Seven questions, about two minutes. They qualify the work so the scope we send back is real rather than generic.

What do you need built or fixed?

Pick the closest one. The detail comes later.

  • A web platform — Customer portal, marketplace, SaaS
  • A mobile app — iOS and Android
  • A company website — Marketing site, landing pages
  • An internal system or ERP — Operations, inventory, back office
  • AI or automation — Assistants, scoring, document processing
  • Fintech or payments — Wallets, cards, mobile money, settlement
  • Something else — Say it in your own words

Where is it right now?

This tells us whether we start with a blank page or your code.

  • Just an idea — Nothing built yet
  • We have a spec or designs — Requirements or Figma ready
  • An existing system that needs work — Fixes, upgrades or a rebuild
  • A live product that needs a team — In production, short on capacity

Who will use it?

Customer-facing products and internal tools get built differently.

  • Your customers — Public sign-up, real traffic
  • Your team — Internal users, controlled access
  • Both — A customer product with a back office

When do you want to start?

An honest answer here is more useful to you than an optimistic one.

  • This month — Ready to move
  • This quarter — Budget or approvals in progress
  • Still exploring — Getting a sense of scope first

Who handles your technology today?

It decides whether we build alongside your people or carry the whole thing.

  • We have in-house developers
  • We have an IT team, but no developers
  • We outsource development — Another vendor builds for us
  • Nobody yet — This would be our first build

Does it need to connect to anything?

Pick everything that applies. Integrations shape a build more than any other factor.

  • Card payments
  • Mobile money
  • WhatsApp
  • Government or regulatory systems
  • Medical aid or insurance
  • A system we already run — Core banking, ERP, CRM
  • Nothing yet

How do you want to work with us?

You can change this later. It just frames the proposal.

  • Build it and hand it over — Your team runs it after
  • Build it and run it for us — We keep it live and maintained
  • Add a team to ours — You have developers, you need capacity
  • Not sure yet — Advise us

After the questions we ask for your name, company, role, and an email address or phone number so we can send the scope back. Nothing is charged until you approve a scope and a price.
