About
CloudHop IT (Pty) Ltd

CloudHop IT is a Johannesburg-based AI-augmented software distributor building a frictionless path from vendor to value across Africa. We combine deep technical expertise, AI-driven operations, and a curated vendor portfolio to deliver enterprise security and cloud solutions.

Founded on the principle that distribution should be intelligent, automated, and partner-first, CloudHop is building toward a 10-person, AI-augmented team that operates at the efficiency of a much larger organisation.

Current Phase: Foundation (M1–4)

We are in the Foundation phase of a 12-month build, focused on establishing the MSSP platform revenue base, Cloudflare distribution margin, and productised services — with the business structured for sale-readiness by month 12.
