Ofentse Gabana

Founder and product builder working where technology meets finance. I turn ideas into shipped products: automation workflows, AI chatbots, fintech and retail tools, and the brands that carry them. From the first sketch to the live build.

    Annual report

    A short letter to anyone weighing up working with me.

    I’m Ofentse, a founder, product builder and designer drawn to problems where better tools change the outcome: a trader who can finally see their real profit, a student who gets feedback the instant they need it, a business that stops drowning in repetitive tasks.

    During semester breaks I work with BIYU AI Agency as an AI Consultant, building AI automation for African SMEs and enterprises. I also build my own products for places where tools usually fall short: offline-first retail for informal traders, an adaptive AI tutor, and fintech tooling in local currency. I’m completing a BCom in Banking and Finance, which keeps that work grounded in how money, risk and access actually work.

    Investment policy

    • AI reads and provides insight; code writes deterministically; arithmetic stays in code.
    • Build for the hardest conditions first: a cheap phone, a weak connection, people the formal system tends to overlook.
    • Own the whole arc, from first sketch to live build.
