We build the product. We make it intelligent.
Web, mobile, and data platforms, made intelligent with AI, and built with your team for African realities: mobile-first, multilingual, M-Pesa-native. Bring in an operator as your fractional AI-CxO, or have us build it with you.
Advise, build, and back African AI.
Same team. Same proof. Embed an operator as your fractional AI-CxO, have us build the product with you, or partner on the ventures we're taking from initiative to scale.
John Ibare
I coach, advise, and build from experience. Over the past decade I’ve built AI coaching agents at Educate!, scaled product from zero at ALX Africa, and designed monitoring systems across 8 countries at IDinsight. Every engagement draws on that operator experience: products shipped, teams led, systems run in real markets.
African-first AI, built in public.
We build across an ownership spectrum (owned, co-built, powered-by, or open) and spin out the winners. Each is an Afri Inspa build.

An impact-planning and reporting platform for impact organizations. Plan, track, and report outcomes, built for low-resource, mobile-first teams.
