The front door
to your next cohort.
Build any application form — cohort intakes, admissions, scholarships, hackathons. Applicants fill it from any phone, progress saved as they type. Your team reviews fairly, decides confidently, and watches the whole funnel: who started, who submitted, who made the deadline. Hosted and run by Emzini weCode — you send one link; we run everything else.
Built by the team behind Poseidon, the grading platform live with 300+ university students — the same fully-managed model.
Everything an intake needs
Any form, truly yours
Sections, essays, dropdowns, conditional questions, info blocks between fields, optional sections, a signed pledge — eleven field types compose into whatever your application asks. Edit any time; forms are versioned, so submitted answers are never disturbed.
Made for the phone in their hand
Most applicants have a phone, not a laptop. One section per screen, thumb-sized controls, and every keystroke saved — start in a kombi, finish in a lab, nothing lost between.
A funnel that talks back
Started versus submitted, submissions pacing day by day against your deadline, early-vs-regular splits, and decisions against capacity — so you watch the round while you can still act on it.
Review with discipline
Every reviewer scores and leaves notes; decisions — accept, waitlist, decline — are recorded against capacity with a full trail of who decided what, when. Committee work without the spreadsheet chaos.
Two deadlines, first-class
Early decision and regular decision are built in, not bolted on: the window each application beat is recorded, shown to your team, and split out in the funnel — exactly how competitive intakes actually run.
Meets applicants where they are
Your WhatsApp number on every page, spreadsheet exports your committee can actually use, and honest deadline behaviour — late means late, stated up front, never a silent door.
How it works
Build your form
Compose sections and questions — or start from a real one: Isibaya ships with a complete university-style cohort application you can reshape. Preview it as an applicant before anything goes live.
Share one link
Publish, set your deadlines, and send a single link to WhatsApp groups, posters, or partner schools. Applicants create an account once and their draft follows them across devices.
Review, decide, admit
Watch the funnel while the window is open, nudge where drafts stall, then score, decide, and export. Your next cohort, chosen on the evidence.
Who runs on Isibaya
Cohorts & bootcamps
Competitive intakes with essays, pledges and early decision — the exact shape Isibaya was born from: Emzini weCode's own CS cohort, 300+ strong.
Schools & universities
Short-course admissions, bridging programs, and scholarship rounds — applications that used to be scanned PDFs and email attachments.
Hackathons & fellowships
Fast open-and-close windows, capacity caps, and a review panel that needs scores in a weekend, not a month.
Run honestly
Fully managed, like Poseidon
One central platform operated by Emzini weCode in Bulawayo. Your organization is a tenant — nothing to host, patch, or back up. You talk to the people who build it.
Your applicants, your data
Each organization's programs, applicants and decisions are isolated. Passwords are stored as one-way hashes; we don't sell data and we don't run ads. Export your applications any time.
Part of a pipeline
Isibaya is the front door of the same family as Poseidon — apply, learn, be assessed. Admitted applicants are one step from being enrolled students, not another spreadsheet migration.
