Experienced team, long-term partners
The Lightning Group brings together people who have spent years building digital products, growing technology businesses and helping organisations turn complex ideas into practical results.
The Lightning Group and Appy Ventures have come together to create a broader technology partner with experience across business strategy, product design, software development, AI, embedded teams and ongoing technical support.
The business combines deep experience across strategy, product, design, engineering, AI, team building and ongoing support.
We came together because clients increasingly need these capabilities to work as one connected partnership - from deciding what to do through to delivering it and making it successful over time.

To make technology a practical force for progress - helping ambitious organisations create better products, stronger operations and sustainable growth.
We think like owners, not order-takers
Our team includes founders, operators, product leaders, designers and engineers. We understand that successful technology must work for users, fit the business and deliver a return on the investment. That commercial perspective shapes the questions we ask and the decisions we make.
