Who we work with

Who are our clients?

People and companies, like you, who have a great idea, for an app, a platform or a better way of working, and don't know how to turn it into reality. Or who know they need technology they can be proud of, but don't know their React from their Rails, or their AI agent from their spreadsheet macro.

Our goal is to turn your idea into reality. Simple as that. And don't worry: we won't bamboozle you with techno-babble. We want to make your life easier, not more confusing, so we build long-term relationships and slick, reliable, trustworthy software, with the minimum of fuss.

Founders and start-ups
From a sketch on a napkin to an MVP in users' hands.
Growing businesses
Processes that outgrew email and spreadsheets.
Established firms
Law firms, banks and fintechs where mistakes are expensive.
Charities
More impact from every hour and every pound.

Why us

Why choose Kazap?

Our clients' challenges go beyond software and algorithms. So we start with the business.

Results you can measure

Two weeks of paperwork down to two hours. Turnaround two to three times faster. We put a number on the waste before we fix it, and on the result after.

We get to know you

We won't tell you what your idea is or should be. We'll listen, work with you, then make it happen: one person with you every step of the way.

Experiences people enjoy

Great content is wasted behind gimmicky graphics. Your website or app should be a window into your business or, better still, an open door.

Our story

From a university idea to 250+ projects

2003The idea
Systems-analysis students at PUC-Campinas wanted to host websites. They called it Kazap: kaza, from casa, home, and zap, fast. A fast home for your website.
2008Brazil
The friends turned the idea into a company, Kazap Tecnologia: today our development partner and sister company.
2012London
Kazap Technologies Ltd was founded in London to do the work clients really needed: analysing their processes and designing software around them.
Today250+ projects
Consultancy, software and AI from London; development shared with our partner in São Paulo. Hosting is where the name started; solving problems is what we do.

Three markets, one team that knows them

Expanding between the UK, Europe and Brazil means new tax rules, new data laws and a different way of doing business, and software that copes with all three. We know the bureaucracy on both sides of the Atlantic and help companies cross it, in either direction.

Marcelo Neves · Founder and CEO

Meet the founder

Marcelo Neves

Marcelo met his first computer at eight and never really looked away. By twelve he was doing paid work, fixing machines and building things for people who needed them. Before he had finished his Bachelor's in Systems Analysis at PUC-Campinas he was leading eight developers at one of Brazil's largest state-owned banks, taking local-tax payments for 170 councils from paper to digital.

He moved to London in 2007, spent years building systems for the UK legal sector, and founded Kazap Technologies in 2012. Along the way he has advised and mentored founders and teams in the UK, Europe and Brazil, and helped design P3, a fintech that now serves 4,000 companies.

More than 30 years on, he still starts every project the same way: by working out how the business really runs.

What you can expect

How we work

We listen first
We get to know you, your business and your idea, then work out the best solution with you, not for you.
We solve, not just code
We're not a software house. Sometimes the answer is an app; sometimes it's a changed process, an integration or better use of a tool you already pay for.
With you from first contact to handover
The person you meet on the first call leads the work through design, build, launch and handover, and beyond.
By your side after launch
Hosting, support, improvements and steady evolution, from the people who built it.
Straight talk, always
We're guided by principles. We tell you the truth, so nobody's money or time is wasted, and you never get bamboozled with techno-babble.

Questions people ask us

Not here? Ask us over a call or a coffee.

What does Kazap do?

We solve business problems with technology: we analyse how a business, start-up or app really runs, then design and build what fixes it, from a one-off review to a platform we build, host and support.

Who will I actually work with?

Marcelo Neves, our Founder and CEO, leads every engagement himself. Development is shared with our sister company in Brazil, which has built alongside us since 2012.

What size of client do you work with?

Solo founders with a great idea, start-ups, growing businesses and firms whose clients include FTSE 100 companies. What they share is something that costs more time or money than it should.

How much does it cost?

The first conversation is free, with no obligation. After it we quote a fixed price for a defined scope or a day rate for open-ended work.

How is Kazap UK related to Kazap in Brazil?

Kazap Tecnologia in Brazil is our sister company and development partner, born from the same university idea in 2003. We lead the analysis and the client relationship; they help us build.
