Our Story
Donamus is a Latin word based on another Latin word, “Dono,” which means “to give.” We believe in the power of giving, whether helping a new business with an innovative idea that needs help creating and implementing the product or helping an established business looking to scale with current or new products.
Established in 2024, we advocate for responsible product development focusing on a holistic view of the problem being solved. Businesses have expertise in their respective fields and know the gaps ripe for innovative solutions. We are here to help address the gaps by tackling the Product and Software challenge and letting businesses focus on their ideas.
Our Cultural Values
We pride in differentiating ourselves by focusing on our cultural values:
BE EXCEPTIONAL AT OUR CRAFT
We focus on constantly growing and honing our craft. This happens through:
- Working with clients
- Spending hours every week learning new skills and staying informed of industry trends
- Contributing back to the industry through OSS and pro bono consulting
ALWAYS FOCUS ON A HOLISTIC VISION
The difference between the good technological people and the great ones is that the great ones focus on the entire vision. This means looking at tradeoffs regarding cost, ROIs, and more to ensure that the innovative products are built in a sustainable, scalable, and iterative way.
EXCHANGE IDEAS AND FEEDBACK FREELY
No project works smoothly if all the stakeholders do not feel comfortable voicing opinions and sharing feedback. We pride ourselves on creating a collaborative and inclusive environment where people from all walks of life feel empowered to participate in product ideation and creation.
KEEP EVERYONE INFORMED
While it is great to focus on following a set plan for creating products, there are times when circumstances change, and pivots need to happen. We keep all stakeholders informed and ensure that a decision is reached quickly on how a pivot is executed if it is required.
LEARN OUTSIDE OF OUR FIELDS
The only way to integrate a holistic process into product ideation and creation is if we understand the stakeholders on a deeper level through shared experiences and expertise. We strive to learn outside of our crafts to provide better solutions by matching our backgrounds with the expertise of the stakeholders on the project.
GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY
It is our moral imperitive to use our skills to help individuals and organizations and make their lives better. We believe in the power of giving back, so every employee spends 20% of their week doing pro bono consulting or contracting.
