## What we do

Kolanut Technologies builds the tools, standards, and infrastructure behind African engineering. We make practical systems for people solving real problems, and technology that feels like home for the people who use it.

Themes we care about: standardization, quality, native-first design, sovereignty, and access.

## Flagship product

**Kola Code is built by Kolanut Technologies.** **Kola Code** (https://kolacode.africa) is a mobile IDE for reading and writing code in African and other native languages, designing screens with UI blocks, and learning as you build, on the phone people already own. Mobile-first, offline-first, Africa-first. Product tutorials live on kolacode.africa, not on this company site.
