Portify is building an AI-powered client collaboration platform for agencies and freelancers to manage clients, deliverables, approvals, and communication in one place. Today, client work is scattered across email, Slack, WhatsApp, and shared drives. This creates confusion, delays, and a lack of professionalism. Portify brings everything into a single, structured workspace, helping teams operate clearly and efficiently from the very first interaction. We are an early-stage startup focused on building fast, learning from real users, and acquiring our first set of paying customers. Our goal is to become the default client workspace for modern service businesses. We are currently a lean team, combining product development with AI capabilities to simplify workflows, improve communication, and support better decision-making for teams and their clients. We are looking to work with people who are comfortable with ambiguity, take ownership, and want to build something from the ground up.

Gradely is using analytics and data-driven recommendations to help schools and parents intervene in real-time to children’s learning gaps. Through weekly adaptive homework tests taken on the web or mobile device, Gradely is able to tell how much of a topic a child understands and recommend specific practice sets, remedial videos or tutoring. Gradely assists teachers with pre-set questions (Math subject only for now) that are marked by difficulty level and are aligned with WASCCE (African equivalent of SAT) and Cambridge curriculum topics. Teachers set up homework in 2-5 minutes and set deadlines for students. Students take homework at home or any location of choice, and the product shows progress reports to teachers, parents and schools. To really capture how well they are learning over time, the system keeps on stringing former topic questions of increasing difficulty that have not been mastered with new topic questions, all on auto-mode.

Routin is building a simpler way for people to stay consistent and understand how they live. Most productivity tools focus on doing more. Routin focuses on doing what matters — consistently. We bring tasks, routines, mood tracking, manual health logs, notes, and journaling into one calm, intentional space. The idea for Routin came from personal frustration. After years of tracking tasks, habits, and finances across different tools, consistency always broke down. Not because of motivation, but because the tools were either too complex or too fragmented to return to daily. Routin was designed to remove that friction. It’s built to feel natural to open every morning, easy to update throughout the day, and meaningful to reflect on over time. With features like AI Chat (currently in preview), users can create tasks, routines, notes, and journal entries using natural language, making daily tracking even easier. Our goal is simple: help people turn small daily actions into long-term progress by understanding their patterns and building routines that actually stick.
