This month, Develocode had the chance to help a Girl Scouts of the USA troop earn their Coding for Good badge, and it might’ve been one of our favorite things we’ve done all year!

We talked about what an algorithm is (step-by-step instructions), acted out how computers only do exactly what you tell them, and introduced them to Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer. The girls played around with a simple interactive button together, and honestly, if even half of them end up becoming software developers in the future, we would not be surprised.

Moments like this matter to us because Develocode wasn’t built just to write software. It was built to open doors earlier than we had them.

Huge thank-you to the troop leader who made this happen and to everyone who’s helping young girls see that they absolutely belong in tech.

Happy Women’s History Month 💛

“Startups & small businesses are the life blood of the region. We don't just believe that Cincinnati is the future of technology in the Midwest. We deserve to be.”- Aftab Pureval

When we launched Founder Fridays, we wanted to spotlight the people shaping the Midwest innovation ecosystem from founders to civic leaders. Hearing the Mayor speak about Cincinnati’s future in tech, ethical AI, and small business growth reinforced something we already believe:

The Midwest is building something powerful.

At Develocode, we help founders turn ideas into working products fast, thoughtfully, and built to scale. If you’re building in the Midwest, we’re building with you.

Such a vital conversation for entrepreneurs!

Founders often ask, should we be for-profit or nonprofit?

Mark Davis says that’s not the first question.
In this episode of On the Fly!, we dig into why starting with value and understanding who benefits matters more than structure.

Accelerators do a great job validating ideas.
Where many founders struggle is ex*****on after the program ends. That’s why more accelerators are choosing a preferred technical team; not just a dev shop, but a partner.

Your tech partner should work with you not against you. Here’s how our technical partner approach plays out:

✅ Cohort onboarding: Our team meets the accelerator’s founders at day zero. We understand the vision, goals, and timelines.

✅ Template-driven scoping: We’ve built standardized discovery templates that reduce scoping friction by 50%.

✅ Iterative development: MVPs are delivered in 6–8 week sprints, with regular check-ins to keep founders aligned.

✅ Knowledge retention: Each build includes internal documentation so future teams can pick up where the last left off.

The result? Accelerators run smoother, founders feel supported, and products ship faster. Book a 15-minute discovery call here: https://develocode.com/contact-us/
