Vision
To build a formidable, globally recognised African-born technology partnership that demonstrates that organised, collaborative developers can compete and win at the highest commercial levels.
About
Built like an open-source project. Run like a firm.
Developers Mania is a professional workgroup of developers and product designers based in Nakuru, Kenya. We organise ourselves to take on client work together, hold that work to written standards, and share the results fairly by contribution.
Vision and mission
Mission
To deliver software development, product design and integration services through an organised, performance-based professional workgroup, and to grow the developers who deliver them.
Why we started
From competing to collaborating
Developers in the same town often compete for the same clients, alone. Developers Mania began in Nakuru in 2026 to turn that competition into structured collaboration: one brand, shared standards, and a team large enough to take on work no single freelancer could. Members keep their independence. What they gain is a team, a process and a reputation they build together.
What we value
- Integrity
- We do what we say. We are honest with clients and with each other about timelines, capacity and money.
- Fairness
- Earnings are tied to contribution, calculated on a shared formula, not discretion.
- Openness
- We work like an open-source project. Information flows freely inside the group.
- Ownership
- When you take on a task, you own it. You deliver, or you communicate early.
- Growth
- We invest in each other. A member who is struggling gets help, not judgement.
- Respect
- Every member is treated with professional respect. Seniority earns responsibility, not entitlement.
