Products
SM Digital Ventures develops digital products for different audiences and real-world needs. Each one is designed independently around the people it is intended for.
Sunrise learning for South African kids.
EduCare is an AI-powered learning companion for Grades 4–7, supporting Mathematics, English Home Language and IsiXhosa Home Language. It guides learners step-by-step rather than simply giving them answers, while giving parents oversight of their child's learning.
Dating, done differently.
Ember is a dating and social networking platform for adults, built around verified profiles and real intent to address a genuine trust gap in online dating.
Ember partners directly with local restaurants and venues to turn matches into real, in-person dates — not more swiping.
People | Opportunities | Progress
A developing B2B organisational platform for managing people, programmes, evidence and progress.
Each SM Digital Ventures product is developed as a distinct platform for its intended audience, with separate experiences, purposes and safeguards. EduCare and Ember are separate products serving different audiences: EduCare is a parent-controlled learning platform for Grade 4–7 learners and families, while Ember is a dating and social networking platform intended for adults.
Community
SM Digital Ventures is rooted in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch.
We believe technology can be built from communities, not simply for them.
SM Digital Ventures is working toward establishing a community-facing business and technology base in Kayamandi, providing parents, schools and community partners with a professional physical point of contact alongside our online platforms.
