How Orion Brokers Helped This South African Woman Build Her Eco-Friendly Sex Toy Business

Cape Town – Bloomberg Style Feature
In a quiet suburb of Cape Town, far from the corporate towers and crypto trading floors, Lisa Marais is reshaping two industries at once: sustainable manufacturing and sexual wellness.
With a 3D printer, a shelf of biodegradable materials, and a bold vision, Lisa is the founder of "Green Pleasure" — South Africa’s first eco-conscious sex toy brand.
A Dream Made of Silicone and Sustainability
“I knew I wanted to make sex toys that were good for people and the planet,” Lisa explains. “But building a business like this in South Africa? Without funding or support? It felt impossible.”
After years of research, design, and testing eco-friendly materials like plant-based silicone and recycled packaging, Lisa had a prototype. What she didn’t have was capital — until she connected with Orion Brokers.
Crypto as a Funding Tool
With the help of an Orion Brokers agent, Lisa learned how to strategically invest in cryptocurrency, using small savings to generate returns over time. The guidance was personal, patient, and local.
“My broker didn’t just throw jargon at me,” Lisa says. “He asked what I wanted to build. He helped me structure a low-risk portfolio that actually funded the launch of my first production run.”
Within months, Lisa was able to lease a studio, purchase custom molds, and open her online shop — all from crypto profits.
Building a Business That Empowers
Today, "Green Pleasure" sells handcrafted, non-toxic, sustainable toys across South Africa and is gaining global interest. Lisa employs two women from her community, offers workshops on sexual health, and reinvests a portion of her profits into eco-education programs.
She credits her success to the financial flexibility crypto gave her — and the human support from her Orion Brokers advisor.
“This isn’t just about sex toys,” Lisa says. “It’s about changing the narrative around pleasure, entrepreneurship, and sustainability in South Africa. Crypto gave me the leverage I needed.”
