Our story
Retrieve started with a simple question: what happens after something is stolen? We built the answer. A platform that connects owners, law enforcement, and financial institutions so assets can be registered, verified, and recovered.
The problem we're solving
Recovery rates for stolen assets remain critically low across Africa. Not because the assets can't be found, but because when something turns up, nobody has a reliable way to prove who it belongs to. Owners, police, and buyers are all looking for the same answer with no common place to find it.
Retrieve is that common place. Every registered asset carries a verified identity. Every owner has documented proof of ownership. And anyone who needs to check gets a confirmed answer in seconds.
The founders
Retrieve was founded by people who saw the problem firsthand and decided to do something about it.
Chief Executive Officer
Kgomotso saw the problem firsthand: the broken systems, stolen assets, and frustrated owners with nowhere to turn. He conceived Retrieve's mission and brought it to life by building the partnerships and institutional relationships that turn technology into real-world impact. His conviction is simple: asset safety should be a right, not a privilege.
Chief Technology Officer | Engineering
Andre took Retrieve's vision and built it from a blank canvas to a full-stack platform handling asset identity, real-time recovery, KYC, payments, and law enforcement integrations. He architects every system that powers Retrieve, and believes the best technology is the kind that solves problems people actually live with every day.
What we stand for
Every feature, API, and workflow is designed to create verified trust between strangers - so commerce and recovery can happen without doubt.
We build for the realities of African markets - local currencies, offline resilience, multi-language support, and integrations with local authorities.
Our platform is API-first. Law enforcement, insurers, and developers can integrate directly - because recovery works best when everyone shares data.
Every transaction, report, and ownership change is logged with a full audit trail. Transparency is not a feature. It is the foundation.
