Returns are illustrative and derived from the accompanying driver-based financial model. They are projections, not forecasts, and carry the uncertainty that word implies.

The round

Investors who are also customers and data partners.

The R60m is syndicated across four cohorts that each gain from — and feed — the platform. Capital arrives with a balance sheet, a proprietary data set and a distribution channel attached.

The flywheel: their data trains the models, the models serve them, and their adoption is the go-to-market. Distribution and the data moat are funded on day one — an advantage a purely venture-backed competitor cannot replicate.

Governance preserves neutrality: the platform serves all participants on equal terms, no single cohort controls the board, and contributed data improves shared models under strict consent and purpose limitation — never resold as another participant's raw data.
