We build the tech your business runs on

We're a technology company in Kampala. We build business software and apps, set up computers and networks, and run coding and robotics programmes for schools.

We build software, set up the computers it runs on and train your team, all around the way your business already works.

Ready-made software often doesn't fit the way a business really runs, so staff end up working around it. We start by learning how you work, then build the software, hardware and training to match.

How a project works

Every project follows the same five steps, so you always know what happens next.

  1. 1

    Listen

    We spend time with your team where the work happens and learn what is slowing them down.

  2. 2

    Map

    We write down how things work today, agree what should change, and send you a scope and price before we build anything.

  3. 3

    Build

    We build in short rounds and show you working progress every few weeks.

  4. 4

    Hand over

    We train your team and give them everything they need to run the system on their own.

  5. 5

    Stay

    After launch we stay on for support, fixes and new features as your business changes.

What we're researching

Inverse Labs explores ideas that could become future products. Here are three of the questions we're working on now.

See all our research
  • Prototyping

    Can a stock system run for a week without the internet and still agree with itself afterwards?

    Offline-first sync

  • Exploring

    What does a business system look like for someone more comfortable speaking Luganda than reading English?

    Local-language & voice

  • Exploring

    Can every web system we build also have a USSD front door?

    USSD & SMS

Ask us a question
What kind of organisations do you work with?

Businesses of every size, schools, SACCOs and cooperatives, NGOs and government institutions.

Do you only build software?

No. We have four teams: Enterprise builds software and apps, Labs tests new ideas, Impact runs STEM and community programmes, and Equipment supplies computers and networks. Many projects involve more than one team.

How does a project start?

With a conversation. We ask questions, visit you if that helps, and then send a written proposal with the scope, timeline and cost before any work begins.

Can you work with the systems we already have?

Usually, yes. We can connect to your existing software, payment providers and accounting tools. If replacing something would work better, we'll explain why.

Where are you based?

Kampala, Uganda. We work with organisations across Uganda and the wider East African region.
