Technology startup holding company

We build platforms that move markets.

We build and run our own startups and develop custom software for companies that want to operate on par with the best in the world.

Based in Santo Domingo Focus Own startups and custom software
Our thesis

The Dominican economy is growing faster than its digital infrastructure. That gap is where we build.

What we do

Two businesses. One engineering standard.

01

Our own startups.

We pick markets that still run without a platform and build the startup they're missing. We launch it, run it and grow it.

02

Custom software.

We design and build apps, web platforms and internal systems for companies and institutions, held to the same bar as our own products.

Portfolio · Startup 01

We started with a market that needed order.

  • Organizers with verified identity
  • Tickets with a verifiable QR code
  • Draws tied to public lottery results

Capabilities

What we build.

Five capabilities we proved on our own startups first.

  1. 01

    Apps and web platforms

    iOS, Android and web, built for thousands of users, with offline support where it matters.

  2. 02

    Payments and reconciliation

    Collections, digital wallets and payouts, with every transaction reconciled end to end.

  3. 03

    Compliance by design

    Identity verification, anti-money-laundering controls, e-invoicing and data protection built into the architecture.

  4. 04

    Data and artificial intelligence

    Real-time analytics and AI automation to make better decisions and cut manual work.

  5. 05

    Integrations

    Payment gateways, ERPs and existing systems, connected without rebuilding what already works.

Method

From idea to operation.

Visible progress every two weeks. No black boxes.

    Prototypes and architecture validated with you before any code is written.

  3. 03

    Build.

    Tested releases to production every two weeks, with security and performance from the start.

  4. 04

    Run and improve.

    We measure, maintain and improve. The product grows at the pace of the business.

Founder

Why I founded Grupo Koquero.

I grew up watching much of the Dominican economy run on a handshake: at the corner store, on the street, in a WhatsApp message. That trust is worth a lot, but it doesn't scale.

I founded Grupo Koquero on one conviction: Dominican talent can build technology on par with any market in the world. Our job is to prove it, one product and one client at a time.
