About
A small, senior team — on purpose.
Founded in 2019, Cheleo is an independent studio of designers and engineers building SaaS products. We work remote-first from Johannesburg with partners around the world.
We deliberately take on a handful of partnerships at a time. That keeps the craft high, the feedback loop short, and the people doing the work the same people you talk to every day.
