Most AI consulting is priced for established mid-market businesses. SA startups have different constraints: smaller budgets, faster decision cycles, more uncertainty about what will actually matter in 12 months. We deliberately offer a startup-priced AI tier that fits how early-stage founders actually work.
What we deploy for SA startups
Customer-support AI
Chatbot covering tier-1 product questions while you're still hiring support. Pays back from week 1.
Lead-to-meeting funnel
Web/WhatsApp lead capture, qualification, calendar booking. Founder-time recovered for higher-value calls.
Sales-pipeline automation
HubSpot or Pipedrive on the free/starter tier with automation that punches above its weight.
Email automation
Welcome sequences, customer nurture, churn prevention — drafted by AI, founder-tone-approved.
Founder AI assistant
Internal AI on your docs, decks, customer research. Saves rebuilding context every Monday morning.
Investor reporting
Auto-compiled monthly investor updates from your actual metrics. Goes from 4-hour task to 30-min review.
How startup pricing works
Implementation R12,000-R35,000 depending on scope. Monthly running R500-R2,500. We don't lock-in via long contracts — month-to-month, cancel any time. We also offer a ~30% discount for pre-Series A startups; documented as a sector-friendly rate, not a moving target.
Why us
FA Automation was started by founders who actually need this stuff for their own business. We know what works at the scrappy stage vs what's enterprise-overkill. We won't sell you a R200k integration when a R12k Zapier workflow would do.
How to start
30-min founder-to-founder call to discuss your business, current bottleneck, and budget. We'll be honest about whether AI is the right move now or whether you should scale headcount first.
