Lakeba

What Lakeba does

Lakeba Group Limited is a Sydney-headquartered global venture studio founded in 2013 by Giuseppe Porcelli that conceives, creates, and commercializes digital technology businesses via a three-stage framework. Over a decade the company has built a portfolio of 17+ ventures spanning AI document intelligence and fraud detection (DoxAI), fractional property ownership and tokenization (Bricklet), document automation (ezidox), computer vision retail analytics (Shelfie), digital asset verification (Verimoto), and mobile app security (Quixxi, since divested to ASX-listed WhiteHawk in April 2026). The underlying technology combines proprietary neural networks for document intelligence and pattern recognition, deep-learning computer vision, NLP for unstructured document processing, anomaly detection, and generative AI and agentic capabilities (Clarity AI), hosted on Microsoft Azure under a Gold Partner relationship maintained since 2018.

The company monetizes through multiple revenue streams: recurring SaaS subscriptions for DoxAI and ezidox, transaction-based marketplace fees on the DoxAI digital services platform, unit-based pricing for fractional property shares on Bricklet (entry threshold $25,000), freemium-to-paid conversion on ezidox, and professional services for enterprise deployments. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to financial institutions (ANZ Bank, Macquarie Bank, Perpetual Corporate Trust, AMP Bank), government agencies, and property developers with a layered channel partner network, a digital marketplace for mid-market customers, and self-serve platforms for SMBs and consumers. Lakeba has scaled to 130+ employees across offices in Australia, India, the US, UAE, and the UK, serves a stated 5,000+ customer base across seven countries, and holds PCI DSS, AICPA, and Consumer Data Right accreditations. Recent strategic activity centers on Middle East and Africa expansion via the Abu Dhabi AI Centre of Excellence and AfricAI joint venture, and on enterprise AI governance through the Clarity AI platform.
