Devpass offers a specialized training platform for software developers, focusing on enhancing practical skills through immersive simulations. Founded in November 2021 by Dimitri Fernandes and Rodrigo Borges, the São Paulo-based company aims to bridge the experience gap for developers in the Brazilian market. Dimitri Fernandes, a graduate in Administration from the Federal University of Ceará, brought his experience in community-building from roles at Endeavor, Airbnb, and WeWork to the venture.
The core of Devpass's offering is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to replicate the daily challenges encountered by a technology team. Developers engage with a fictional company, Evercode, where they receive technical tasks that mirror real-world software development scenarios. This controlled environment allows engineers to practice and refine both technical and soft skills without risk to a live production environment. An AI-powered chatbot assists users by providing tips, answering questions, and performing code reviews, creating an interactive and guided learning path. For corporate clients, the platform transforms existing technical documentation into these interactive learning experiences, which helps to streamline onboarding and continuous training.
Devpass operates on a dual B2B and B2C business model. For individual developers (B2C), it offers a monthly subscription that grants access to all available simulations. For businesses (B2B), the company provides customized training programs tailored to the specific technologies and needs of their engineering teams, which can be offered as an employee benefit. This approach provides engineering leaders with detailed reports and metrics, offering insights for ongoing team improvement. The company emphasizes data security, ensuring its learning environment does not access sensitive client data or production code.
