Dacodes Inception Story
Mauricio started Dacodes almost ten years ago with his two co-founders during their last year of engineering studies in Merida, Mx.
At that time, mobile apps were becoming increasingly popular worldwide, especially with the rise of the iPhone and the App Store. He recalls, "In 2014, mobile apps were something big, and everyone wanted to create a mobile app for their business or idea."
This growing interest in mobile apps inspired Mauricio and his partners to launch Dacodes. Initially, their final engineering project—a logistics app for tracking university buses—served as the foundation for their business.
“We decided to start a company by doing what we were already doing for our final project," Mauricio explains. They began by focusing on developing “beautiful and intuitive mobile apps,” a rare offering in Mexico at the time, where many software companies lacked a strong emphasis on UI/UX design.
How Dacodes Works
Mauricio explains that Dacodes offers flexible ways to work with different clients.

Dacodes’ Engagement Models
- Fixed Price Projects: Ideal for developing Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and smaller projects. This model isn't recommended for larger projects due to the risk of misaligned expectations and scope changes.
- Dedicated Team Model: Like big consulting firms, Dacodes assembles a dedicated team to work on a client's project. The team is managed internally, but the client can interact directly with them.
- Talent Augmentation: Also known as the staffing model. Dacodes provides pre-existing talent or hires specifically for a client's needs. The client selects the final team, and there is no intermediary project manager, making this model leaner with minimal involvement from Dacodes.
Revenue Breakdown
- Staffing/Talent Augmentation: This model accounts for about 50% of Dacodes' revenue. It's mainly used by companies needing to scale quickly with prepared job descriptions.
- Dedicated Teams: Represents approximately 30-40% of revenue. This model focuses on assembling an internal team to work more closely on client projects.
- Fixed Price Projects: Makes up about 20% of Dacodes’ revenue, though it's not suitable for most projects that are of scale.
