Building Tomorrow's Success Stories, Today

We help visionaries transform bold ideas into successful products that users love and investors back.

About Us

Our Story

Hey there! 👋I'm Ismail, and at the core of Deveote lies a simple belief: great ideas deserve to be built right. Over my 12+ years as a software engineer, CTO, founder, and venture advisor, I've seen too many brilliant ideas fail not because of the vision, but because of how they were executed.

That's why I created Deveote. We're not just another development studio - we're a partner that brings together deep technical expertise, strategic thinking, and real-world startup experience to help you build something truly amazing.

What Makes Us Different

[1]

More Than Code

Sure, we write great code. But what sets us apart is our obsession with the bigger picture. We dive deep into your vision, challenge assumptions, identify opportunities, and help shape not just your product, but your entire business strategy.

[2]

Startup DNA

We've been founders ourselves. We've raised money, built teams, and scaled products. We know the challenges you're facing because we've faced them too. This isn't theoretical for us - it's personal.

[3]

Quality Over Quantity

We're intentionally selective about the projects we take on. Why? Because we believe in giving each partner the attention they deserve. We'd rather do fewer projects exceptionally well than many projects just okay.

Full-Stack Partnership

From initial strategy to successful launch and beyond, we're here for the entire journey. Think of us as your technical co-founders without the equity (though we might be open to that for the right opportunity 😉)

Core Values

Brutal Honesty with Kindness

We'll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear - but we'll do it constructively. Sometimes that means challenging your assumptions or pointing out potential problems. We believe that's part of being a good partner.

Quality Over Everything

We don't cut corners. Period. Whether it's in our code, our communication, or our advice, we believe in doing things right. That might mean we take a bit longer or cost a bit more, but the results speak for themselves.

Think Long-term

We're not here for quick wins. Every decision we make considers the long-term implications for your product, your business, and your users. We build for scale from day one.

Move Fast, Don't Break Things

We believe in moving quickly but thoughtfully. That means rapid iteration with rock-solid foundations. No technical debt, no shortcuts, no compromises on quality.

Always Be Learning

The tech world moves fast, and we're committed to staying ahead. We're constantly learning, experimenting, and evolving our skills and approaches to serve you better.
