About
We are Innovation Cameroon.
Founded in 2019 in Bamenda, Cameroon, we are a community of African builders shipping software that bridges the gap between classroom learning and the professional world, and strengthens Cameroonian life one product at a time.
What drives us
Mission, vision, values
Three statements that ground every decision we make as a studio.
Mission
Innovation Cameroon, formerly Dopetech, is a community founded in 2019 by Nzitouo Gaetan. We bridge the gap between classroom learning and the professional world, and we ship technology that strengthens the Cameroonian community.
Vision
To raise a generation of African builders who are excellent in their craft, and to advance our communities through technology that is honest, fast, and made for the way people actually live.
Values
Craft over hype, users over features, transparency in everything we ship. We invest in our team first; great products follow great people.
How we work
Principles, not slogans
The four values that make Innovation Cameroon feel like Innovation Cameroon.
Built for here
Every decision is made for the realities of Cameroonian users: data costs, payment habits, language, neighbourhoods.
Craft over hype
We ship slowly enough to ship well. Speed of iteration, quality of detail.
Community first
Innovation Cameroon is a community before it is a company. We grow people, then products.
Trust by default
Verified accounts, honest reviews, transparent payments. Trust is the product.
