DAWVEN Group is my software, AI and venture-building company. I built it as a home for client work and for the products I own, and I did the brand, the website, the product line-up and the engineering setup myself.
The problem
I was building several products at once (a plant doctor, a receipt scanner, a hospital portal, a livestock marketplace) and taking on client work, with no single name behind any of it. Clients had nothing to check before hiring me, each product looked like a side project, and code and hosting were spread across old accounts. I needed one credible company that could sell services to small and mid-sized US businesses and also launch its own products.
What I did
A name and a promise
DAWVEN joins Dawood and Venture. I wrote a short brand blueprint around the line "Build. Own. Scale.": build software for clients, own products in-house, and scale the ones that work. The palette stays deliberately quiet, with black, white and titanium grey and a single champagne-gold accent, so it reads as a serious engineering company, not a startup template.
A mark that works small
The logo is a geometric D/V monogram with speed-bar cuts, centred over the DAWVEN wordmark. I tested it on dark and light backgrounds, as an app icon and on mockups before settling on it, and made short brand films for social and the website.
A website that sells both sides
I built a multi-page Next.js site on Vercel with two jobs: bring in client project inquiries, and show the ventures. It includes industry pages for systems like healthcare and education, so a clinic or school owner sees their own problem described. Early reviews found missing word spacing and weak mobile layouts, which I fixed before going further.
One home for the code
I moved new work to a single GitHub organisation, dawvengroup, with one repository per product, private by default and public only to showcase. Every product deploys from GitHub to Vercel, so each push goes live in about a minute.
Launch safely
I bought dawvengroup.com and planned for the domain to show a separate coming-soon page while the main site keeps improving on its Vercel address, then switch the domain over once the site is finished. That keeps the real domain looking professional from day one.
Outcome
- A live company website at dawven-group.vercel.app, with dawvengroup.com secured
- A complete brand kit: monogram, wordmark, colour system, mockups and brand films
- Six products now built under one name: Leafmend, Tallyroll, Quitgrove, MedAxis, Dhor Bazaar and Mastic
- One GitHub organisation and one deploy pipeline shared by every product
Trade-offs
- Everything runs on free tiers (Vercel Hobby, Supabase free) to keep costs near zero. The cost is limits: Supabase allows two active projects, so I pause one product's backend while another is in active development.
- A coming-soon page on the real domain means a slower public launch, but nobody lands on a half-finished site.
- Building many products at once spreads my time thin. The shared stack (Next.js, Expo, Supabase, Vercel) is what makes it workable, because every product reuses the same patterns.
What's next
Move dawvengroup.com onto the finished site, add a business email, and launch Leafmend and Tallyroll in the app stores.
