Our Story
Zeltta was started in 2020 by Rikus Wiehahn. What began as digital product development evolved into something more focused: partnering with obsessed entrepreneurs and innovators who see broken systems and are driven to fix them. The kind of people who can't sleep because they've glimpsed a better way.
We believe in creating software that's both powerful and practical. Our approach focuses on building solutions that solve real problems without unnecessary complexity. Because when you're on a mission to transform how things work, you need technology that works with you, not against you.
Rikus still does the majority of the work but brings in external contractors when some extra hands are needed. This hands-on approach ensures that every project gets the focused attention and technical expertise it deserves, while having the flexibility to scale when needed.
Our Values
Courage Over Comfort
We embrace responsibility rather than excuses. Every challenge is an opportunity to prove what's possible when you're willing to take the path of meaningful resistance.
Learning Over Knowing
In a world changing at warp speed, the fastest learner wins. We're not interested in protecting what we know—we're obsessed with discovering what we don't.
Trust Over Control
Extraordinary work comes from passionate people with the freedom to create. We build alignment through shared purpose, not micromanagement or rigid hierarchy.
Questions Over Answers
The most valuable insights often hide in plain sight, just opposite of conventional wisdom. We cultivate the curiosity to see what others miss and the courage to pursue it.

Small teams create big impact when they're focused on the right problems. Meet the people behind Zeltta's thoughtful approach to technology.
