What Lunatech does

Lunatech (Pty) Ltd. is a privately held South African software development firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Jeffreys Bay. The company delivers AI-driven custom software, blockchain solutions, web and mobile applications, UX/UI design, and DevOps services to enterprise clients, with stated activity on international AI and Fintech projects. Its core proprietary offering is the LunaAI Framework, an orchestration platform for multi-agent collaboration, retrieval-augmented generation, and self-healing code, which the company positions as the backbone of its 2026 project portfolio. Underlying technology leverages Python (PyTorch), Rust, Go, LangChain, Docker, and Kubernetes, with an AI-first development lifecycle covering requirements, deployment, and managed infrastructure.

The business operates primarily through direct B2B, project-based engagements rather than productized offerings or marketplace distribution. Revenue is generated via custom development contracts and managed services, with publicly named enterprise clients including the South African cryptocurrency exchange ChainEX and the land development intelligence platform VektorIQ. The company remains founder-owned (Ryno Mathee), bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and operates with a small core team of approximately eight specialists, which constrains the scale of any single engagement and the diversification of its client base.
