Studio
New studio.
Old-school discipline.
Founded in Lagos in 2026. Founder-led, which means the person you talk to on day one is the person accountable for the work on day one hundred.
Zynterra was founded on a simple observation: most software doesn't fail at launch. It fails six months later, when nobody's watching. So we build for month six.
We work with startups that need a technical partner, and with established businesses whose software has become a liability instead of an asset. We also invest in our own products, Zorva and AuditGate, because building for ourselves keeps our standards honest.
The name comes from terra, meaning ground. It's in the logo, and it's in the work: software worth standing on.

FAQ
Fair questions, plain answers.
How do you charge?+
Fixed price for well-defined scopes, monthly retainer for ongoing build-and-run work. Either way, the number is agreed in writing before work starts, and scope changes are priced before they happen, never after.
How long does a typical project take?+
Discovery takes one to two weeks. A first working version of most products ships in six to twelve weeks, depending on scope. You'll see working software weekly from the start, so there's no waiting until the end to find out.
Do you work with clients outside Nigeria?+
Yes. We're based in Lagos (WAT, UTC+1) and work remotely with clients anywhere. Our timezone overlaps comfortably with Europe and the eastern Americas.
Can you take over an existing codebase?+
Yes. It's some of our most common work. We start with a paid technical review so you get an honest written assessment of what you have, then a plan to stabilise, improve, or rebuild. Sometimes the honest answer is "keep it"; we'll say that too.
Who owns the code and infrastructure?+
You do, from day one. Repositories, cloud accounts, and credentials sit under your ownership, and documentation is part of the deliverable, not an extra.
What is AuditGate, and can I try it?+
AuditGate is our API security platform, currently in development. It sits in front of your API as a transparent proxy, inspects traffic in real time, and surfaces vulnerabilities in plain English, with the exact file and line to fix when your repo is connected. It will be free to start at launch. Join the waitlist by email and you'll be first in.
What is Zorva?+
Zorva is our escrow platform for Nigerian commerce: a secure link that holds the buyer's money until both sides agree, then pays the seller instantly by bank transfer. It's live now. It's built for how Nigeria actually trades: WhatsApp, Instagram, card, transfer, and USSD.
