This is Klar
Shopify has armed the rebels.
We now want to turn you and all eCom entrepreneurs into an army by providing you with insights, knowledge and direction.





We met more than 10 years ago while working together in Cape Town and have been working at various start-ups together since. Cillier & Frank leading the tech teams while Max lead marketing.
Together, and with our team, we combine operating experience in scaling eCommerce companies to 9-figures, data science and data security prowess. We know that starting an eCom business has never been easier. Making it successful has never been harder.
With Klar, we built the Data Operating System for eCommerce companies. A single source of truth that is tailored to the needs of growing e-commerce brands. Fast to set-up and easy to maintain. While also providing you with detailed insights and recommendations on how you can accelerate growth and increase profitability.
Our guiding principle: Do work you can be proud of.
We care deeply about the quality and integrity of what we build. We do not aim for speed at the expense of substance. Pride in our work comes from two places: how we build and what that work achieves. We take pride in our craft – solving problems well, writing with care, designing with intent – and we take pride in how our work helps customers succeed. Klar is not a think tank; our ideas only matter when they reach people and make their lives easier. Real pride comes from seeing thoughtful work create real impact.

Our Core Principles
01
Ownership & Trust
We act like owners, not passengers. Begin with trust and decision-making freedom. If wires cross, we rebuild shared context – we don’t take the freedom away. We trust one another to do what is right, and we prove that trust through accountability and openness.
Our Core Principles
02
Pursue excellence together
Excellence is not an individual pursuit; it is something we can only create together. We learn from each other, challenge each other, and make one another better. “Best” is not a title, it is a behaviour – we earn it together by holding one another to high standards and helping each other grow.
Our Core Principles
03
Empathy & Candor
Pretty much every problem ever can be traced back to people not talking to each other. If there is something you don't like, say it. But also make a real effort to understand where the other person is coming from. We tell the truth with care. Empathy gives honesty its impact, and candor gives empathy its strength. We lead with understanding but never avoid hard truths.
Let me introduce:
The Klardashians!
Someone once called us the Klardashians, and apparently it stayed.
We work from various corners of the globe, but share the same values and ambition.
