Why Cirqco exists

Before Cirqco, Odoi Dickson Maxwell spent six years inside hospitality, real estate, events and innovation-partnership operations in Kampala — the kind of businesses that run on spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and a filing cabinet, and get penalised for it the moment a bank or investor asks for a record. Every one of those roles needed the same missing thing: a system that could actually show what the business had done, not just what someone said it had done.

So he built it — first as internal tooling to keep his own teams running, then as software good enough to hand to someone else. That's the whole founding story: no accelerator pitch, no co-founder split, no outside round. Just the tools those teams needed, built in-house, then turned into products. Cirqco is what that habit became once it had a name.

Cirqco is incorporated in Uganda and 100% founder-funded to date. Contact: cirqcox@gmail.com · +256 778 084 607.

The mission

Give Africa what the world has yet to imagine.

Cirqco's products all point at the same target: infrastructure built for the startups, the youth and the everyday markets that make up most of the African economy but get the least attention from software built somewhere else. My Village makes a young business bankable. Cruizly makes a peer-to-peer rental provably safe. Medveta HMS connects patients, doctors and hospital staff across facilities. Sentinel makes a property intelligent — detect, analyze, identify and alert — without turning the cloud into a CCTV recorder.

We're inviting investors, government partners and institutions to build this together — starting with empowering the startups and youth already doing the work, and the leadership willing to back them.

The founder

Maxwell Odoi — Founder & CEO.

Maxwell is the architect and lead developer behind every product Cirqco ships. He designs the data model, writes the backend, and sits in the room when a bank, cooperative or government programme asks a hard technical question — because there's no layer of account managers translating between the client and the engineering. That's a deliberate choice, not a staffing gap: one accountable builder per product means there's no hand-off to blur who's responsible when something breaks.

His path into software came through operations, not a computer science track — six years managing the operational reality of hospitality, real estate, events and innovation partnerships gave him the problem statement before he had the codebase. My Village's Trust & Reputation Engine, in particular, is built from watching real businesses get turned away by lenders for a documentation problem, not a performance one.

Track record

Built for real institutions before the products had names.

Cirqco's engineering discipline was shaped by client work with Aleph Hospitality (Dubai), Aziz Developments, Innovations Village Uganda and Reach A Hand Uganda — hospitality, real estate, startup ecosystem and youth-NGO engagements that fed directly into how My Village, Medveta, Sentinel and Cruizly are built today. Read the full list.

Capacity & talent

We sponsor the skills, not just the software.

Cirqco treats skill development as part of the mission: young engineers and product people work on live codebases — My Village, Medveta, Sentinel, Cruizly — instead of throwaway exercises, because keeping talent building in Uganda matters as much as any single product shipping. More on how we build capacity.

How we're built

Small, technical, Kampala-based.

Cirqco runs on Laravel and Next.js for APIs and consoles, Flutter for mobile, and PostgreSQL and Redis for data — deployed on Render and Vercel. Every product is built API-first, for the connectivity conditions Ugandan and East African users actually have, not the ones a template assumes.

There is no outsourced dev shop and no rotating agency behind any of the four products. That's a constraint as much as a principle — it's why Cirqco ships one thing well before starting the next, and why the roadmap is public about what's live versus what's still being built.
