The Showcase

Meet Zava — Microsoft's AI-First Company

Microsoft built Zava to answer one question: what does a business look like when it goes all-in on AI? Not AI bolted onto existing processes — AI as the operating system of the entire organisation.

Zava is an intelligent athletic apparel brand. Marketing, operations, customer experience, security — all running on agentic AI. Microsoft uses Zava to show what becomes possible when a company stops piloting AI and starts building with it.

At AI Jumpstart Cape Town, we bring the Zava story to you — and show you the exact four-phase Braintree framework that gets your business on the same path.

"If clothing can think — so can your business."

Agentic AI — End to End

Every function of Zava runs on autonomous AI agents. Not one department — the whole business.

Microsoft's Frontier Brand

Zava is how Microsoft defines a "frontier" company — fully committed to AI-led operations.

Your 4-Phase Jumpstart

Assess · Roadmap · POC · Govern. The same framework Braintree uses with every client.
