Bold Thumb Technologies is an information technology (IT) innovation company that transforms and improves business processes by means of implementing unique, practical, and dynamic software solutions. We have a bold mind of seeing technology as an enabler to the business, thus making sure that our solutions complement the business’ resources and processes from A to Z.


Bold Thumb was established in January 2018, founded by Moeketsi Msimango, a passionate software developer, and legally registered as CtrlB (Pty) Ltd. The name is directly derived from the metaphor of “sticking out like a sore thumb”. With a twist of using the word BOLD (Ctrl+B), we remove the possibility of imagining pain when saying our name, but rather, imagine a really outstanding collection of letters put together to communicate a positive and effective outcome. Welcome to the world of innovation.
