Software development & cloud consulting · Bogotá, Colombia
Software that grows
like bamboo.
We design and build web, mobile and custom applications. And if your software is already in production, we help you run it better with AWS, CI/CD, DevOps and FinOps.
Development
What we build
From idea to a product in your users' hands. One team for design, development, infrastructure and launch.
Mobile apps
iOS and Android apps, from design all the way to publishing on the App Store and Google Play.
Custom software
Internal systems, back offices and tools that fit the way your company works, not the other way around.
APIs & integrations
We connect your systems, payment gateways, CRMs and third-party services with secure, well-documented APIs.
MVPs for startups
We validate your idea with a working minimum viable product in weeks, not months, ready to show users and investors.
Automation & AI
We automate repetitive work and bring in AI where it adds real value: assistants, document classification and smart workflows.

Why guadua?
Guadua is Colombia's native bamboo: it grows fast, weighs little and, pound for pound, is stronger than steel. That's how we build software.
- Lightweight. Just what it takes to solve your problem, no extra complexity.
- Resilient. Secure by design, with testing, automation and infrastructure as code.
- Transparent. Clear pricing, visible progress, and all the code is yours.

How much does it cost to build an app?
It depends on scope. After a first call we send you a proposal with scope, timeline and either a fixed price or a phased price.
Do you work with companies outside Colombia?
Yes. We work remotely with teams in Latin America, the United States and Spain, in English or Spanish.
Can you take over a project that's already underway?
Yes. We review the existing code and infrastructure and propose how to continue, stabilize or improve it.
How does FinOps lower my AWS bill?
We find oversized or idle resources, apply discounts like Savings Plans, and set up budgets and alerts so spending doesn't get out of hand.
