WildTech Development is the software and hardware division of WildTech Ventures, LLC. We are a small, founder-led technology company based in Charleston, South Carolina that builds products people actually use. Our work spans iOS apps on the App Store, web platforms, and precision IoT hardware.

The company launched on February 1, 2024, with the release of Spirits of Charleston, a ghost story app for the Lowcountry. Within the first year, the portfolio grew to include Spirits of Savannah, EZ Fuse Tester, and two larger ventures: Churchd, a community platform built for churches, and VikingSense, a precision climate monitoring system distributed exclusively through MSI-Viking Gage.

WildTech Development operates alongside WildTech CHS, our local technology services division. WildTech CHS handles security camera installations, structured cabling, commercial audio and video, and smart office setups across the Charleston area.

William McCants is the founder of WildTech Ventures, LLC. He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina and has spent his career solving technical problems across industries ranging from aerospace manufacturing to industrial metrology to e-commerce.

William's professional path started at MSI-Viking Gage in 2012, where he built the company's Equipment Recovery and Sales department from the ground up. What began as a one-person operation grew into a four-employee department with a national market presence, buying, refurbishing, and reselling industrial calibration and metrology equipment. He later moved into an Application Engineer role at MSI-Viking, specializing in ZEISS Optotechnik 3D scanning systems, scan-to-CAD reverse engineering, and custom fixturing using additive manufacturing.

In 2020, William joined PRC Industries in Spruce Pine, North Carolina as a Senior Engineer. PRC Industries is a large-scale product remanufacturing company that processes returns and restores defective products for major brands and retailers, most notably Amazon. The company's campus handles everything from refrigerators and vacuums to sporting goods, with a team of engineers diagnosing product flaws through total disassembly and reverse engineering. William wrote remanufacturing procedures, reverse-engineered replacement parts, and collaborated with outside engineering teams on client projects. The role sharpened his ability to diagnose unfamiliar hardware quickly, a skill that carries directly into the work WildTech does today.

He returned to MSI-Viking in 2022 as Director of E-Commerce, where he turned what had been a side channel into a primary revenue driver for the company. Today he oversees multi-channel operations across msi-viking.com, Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, serves as the company's NetSuite administrator, manages a multimillion-dollar product inventory, and produces all product photography and video content in-house. Under his leadership, the team cut freight costs by over 40% while achieving consistent three-day delivery windows on in-stock inventory.

WildTech Ventures grew out of the same mindset that has defined William's entire career: see a problem, understand it deeply, and build something that fixes it. Every product in the WildTech portfolio started as a real problem that did not have a good enough solution.

Beyond the code

His nieces and nephews call him “Gadget” because there is always a project on the workbench, a 3D printer running, or some piece of technology being taken apart and put back together. That same restless curiosity is what drives WildTech.

When he is not writing code or building hardware, William spends his time behind a camera, playing guitar at his church's Sunday worship service, or camping somewhere in the Lowcountry. He also volunteers with his church's handicap ramp building team and holds a private pilot certificate, though these days the flying is mostly for fun.
