Ventures
Cactuslab has contributed either wholly or partially to the creation of several venture projects, including those listed. For information on our content management platform, please visit supermodel.co.nz.
Letterboxd
For a number of years we dreamt of a better place to discuss our shared interest in film, and when we couldn’t find exactly the right vehicle, we created one. The result is Letterboxd, a social network for grass-roots film discussion and discovery. The service started as a website and now has companion iOS, Android and Apple TV apps and a rapidly growing global community of movie aficionados.
Parentland
The brainchild of renowned New Zealand clinical psychologist Nigel Latta, Parentland is the parenting app that provides trustworthy, science-backed advice designed for the unique needs of your family. Developed by clinical psychologists with over fifty years of combined experience, Parentland offers parents real, actionable tools to navigate the everyday challenges of raising children. With Parentland, every parent can feel empowered to make informed decisions and take the right steps to create positive changes in their home.
Appropo
Appropo is an fully featured hospitality platform, for cafes, restaurants and bars, that provides online and in-store digital solutions for online ordering, at table ordering, kiosks and delivery as well as customer loyalty programmes, reports and analytics, and gift vouchers. Appropo also has integrations with a variety of third party delivery services (UberEats/DoorDash), Mailing lists (Mailchimp/Klaviyo) and accounting platforms (Xero) to simply and streamline day to day operations all in one platform.
Gin
Gin is a new approach to monitoring and analysing the performance of Java software. Based upon ideas developed during over twenty years of experience troubleshooting and optimising the performance of Java applications Gin combines a low-impact profiling agent with novel and powerful next generation analytical tools to rapidly identify performance bottlenecks and optimisation opportunities in production, staging or development environments.
Cloudcheck
As part of a joint venture under the Verifi Identity Services umbrella, we created Cloudcheck, an electronic identification verification (EV) tool that verifies the identity (name, date of birth and address) of your New Zealand and Australian customers against local data sources and international watchlists, via API, bulk upload, secure emailed link or self-service dashboard. If you need to comply with the ‘safe harbour’ provisions of the Amended Identity Verification Code of Practice 2013 (forming part of New Zealand’s AML legislation) or have a requirement to verify the identity of your customers for another business purpose, Cloudcheck can help. Verifi Identity Services was acquired by GB Group in January 2022.
