About us

One studio. Every step of the student journey.

Two problems cost South African students the most: funding lost to admin, and jobs lost to a broken CV. We build free tools for both.

Who we are

ThutoPulse Studio is a small team based in South Africa, founded by Thabang Sebothoma. We're students and recent graduates who got tired of watching good people lose opportunities to small, solvable problems.

What we build

Free tools that cover the whole journey. ThutoPulse keeps you on top of your semester timetable, attendance, funding guard, AI study help. Thuto CV gets your CV past ATS filters and in front of a real human. All free, forever.

Why it matters

Two quiet failures. Get 48% on a final and the funding disappears. Or be perfectly qualified and get filtered out by software before anyone reads your name. Neither should decide a student's future.

The Mission
"Two marks can cost you a module. A wrong format can cost you a job. Neither one should decide a student's future."

Free, and staying free.

ThutoPulse runs entirely on voluntary support. The students who find it useful choose to pass it on, so the next student gets the same free chance.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Any university or college. ThutoPulse isn't tied to a specific institution — you set up your own modules and timetable, so it works for UJ, Wits, TUT, UCT, Stellenbosch, UKZN, NMU, and every TVET college in between.
