We build Software
We invest in People
Sinov8 builds tech that transforms the things people dread doing into things they're happy to do, or as we like to say: We turn have-tos into happy-tos.
A people and tech investment company.
Meet the humans behind Sinov8. We're developers, designers, builders & testers who believe work should feel meaningful. Coffee machine conversations included.
Makers, not managers
Everyone here builds. Titles don't outrank talent.
Growth over tenure
We invest in your skills, not just your salary.
Joy as a compass
If the work doesn't excite us, we rethink it.
How we do it:
Investing in people, invested in tech.
Turning have-tos into happy-tos doesn't start with code. It starts with people. We build teams of tech artisans who care deeply about the problems they solve, and we give them the space to do their best work.
Craft
We're a team of tech artisans. The kind who refactors working code at midnight, not because we have to, but because we spotted a better way. The kind who'd rather ship one thing that feels right than ten things that feel 'fine.' The kind of people who walk through a user flow for the 50th time, because we're not here to check boxes. We're here to build things we're proud of. With people we actually like.
Better, not more
One thing done right beats ten done 'fine.'
Growth
We don't just hope people grow. We sit down, figure out where they want to go, and build a plan together to get them there. That means real mentorship, not just meetings. Time to learn, experiment, and iterate, not just deliver. We thrive in environments where we get to stretch each other to reach our full potential, not just our deliverables.
Potential over output
We grow the person, not just the deliverable.
People
Relationships come first. Life, love, and laughter aren't distractions from work. They're part of it. We'd rather have a smaller company full of people who love what they do than a big one full of people counting down to Friday. We share lunches, whiteboards, and the hard problems. No one wrestles alone because the best ideas come from a whiteboard, a room, and people who aren't afraid to disagree. Lastly...The code belongs to the team. The wins do too.
No lone wolves
Hard problems shared. Big wins shared.
The Sinov8 Manifesto
At Sinov8, we exist to build and invest in people and technology. In a way that transforms complexity into simplicity, creating real, lasting impact. We believe great companies and products aren't built by chasing profits, but by investing in people. These are the values we hold each other accountable to:
Every voice counts - whether it's a teammate, a client, or someone we disagree with. We listen fully, speak honestly, and assume positive intent. We challenge ideas, not people. Even under pressure, we stay mindful of how we show up - because how we treat others is part of our work.
We show up, follow through, and own the outcome, even when no one's looking. When things go wrong (and sometimes they do), we don't hide it. We share early, take responsibility, and work together to fix it. That's how we build confidence in each other.
The measure of our leadership isn't in titles or control. It's in how well we help others succeed. We listen first, act with humility, and clear roadblocks so our teams, customers, and peers can do their best work. When someone grows because of how we showed up, we've done our job well.
Whether it's time, money, data, or trust, we treat what's been given to us with intention. We think long-term, act responsibly, and leave things better than we found them. It's not just about doing the job. It's about being worthy of the responsibility that comes with it.
Places where meaningful work leads to personal and professional growth, and where teams thrive and have purpose. We'd rather have a smaller company full of people who love what they do than a big one full of people counting down to Friday.
We exist to take things that feel like obligations (grudge purchases, complex processes, broken systems) and turn them into experiences people are genuinely happy with. It creates fulfilling careers and opens doors for the next generation of builders.
Everything we build, every team we grow, every product we ship, it all ladders up to one purpose: turning the things people have to do into things they're happy to do. That's why we exist. That's what drives every decision.
Turning have-to moments into happy-to ones, for our team & our customers.

Other Initiatives
Not everything we build is software.
Two Sparrows Foundation is our way of investing in people beyond our own walls. We raise funds and create opportunities for talented young people who have the drive to get into tech but not always the means — helping them upskill, grow, and change the trajectory of their lives.
Visit Two Sparrows Foundation We finally asked the question that
most companies avoid:
Why do we exist?
"We don't invest in schemes, ideas, or funds where return is merely monetary. We invest in people, and measure success in terms of growth and joy."
~ Hein Hanekom (CEO)
Sinov8 started in a dusty garage in 2014. No money. No office. Just a dad, two sons, some property industry know-how, and a dream: build a company where people find real joy in their work.
Building a business was hard. Growth was slow & the challenges relentless. But the passion was stubborn.
Over the years we managed to grow to a team of 20 exceptionally talented people and formed life-changing partnerships with companies like WeconnectU, becoming one of South Africa's leading Proptech companies. We built products that make a real difference in our customers' lives. And yet, through all of it, one question kept nagging at us, one we could never quite put into words: why do we exist beyond our products?
So in 2025, together with our leadership team, we went searching. We dug deep. Debated. Wrestled. Stared at whiteboards. And one day it clicked: every product we've built, every industry we've entered: they're all places where people feel stuck doing things they resent. Grudge purchases. Complex processes. Obligation without joy.
We realised what we really love doing and what brings us joy is turning those "have-to" moments into "happy-to" ones.
That's not just a tagline; it's a lens for every decision we make and our vision for everything ahead.
