A small team with big ambitions launched Ceiba, aiming to transform the software industry in Colombia. From day one, a passion for excellence and a commitment to learning have guided us.
Innovation that inspires,
impact that endures.
20 years ago, Ceiba was founded on the principle of doing things differently in the world of software development. It hasn’t been easy, but from day one, we’ve built a community of people passionate about technology and innovation.
William Restrepo, in those early days, always reminded us:
”"It's not just about making software, but about generating impact. It’s about being a team where each person finds purpose in what they do."
And so we have experienced it. Every challenge has been an opportunity, every client an ally, and every collaborator a vital part of this story.

We remember with gratitude the times when a whiteboard and enthusiasm were enough to complete great projects.
Each one of you has played a vital role in our growth. Thank you to those who have been here from the beginning, facing the unknown with courage. Thanks to those who joined along the way and contributed their talent and energy. And thank you to those who continue to build this story today with the same passion and commitment that has characterized us from day one.
