What defines us

People first

Technology works better when the team understands the business. We listen before we propose.

Senior talent in LATAM

Every profile on our team has proven seniority in real-world projects.

AI applied with judgment

We integrate it when it adds real value, not as a commercial differentiator.

Partners, not vendors

We get involved in business goals, not just backlog tickets.

Our story

From a commit straight to master to partners of founders around the world.

Let's talk today
2015

The origin

We founded Vadiun with a simple idea: solve real digitalization problems across industries. No heavy processes, just drive to build.

We learned firsthand what breaks when you scale without structure.

2019

First global alliances

Companies outside Argentina started choosing us. We began working with clients in Spain and the USA.

Cultural proximity and technical quality set us apart in markets where LATAM talent wasn't yet the obvious first choice.

2021

We became HitOcean

Technology understood as business. Our focus on MVPs, processes and founders without a CTO was born - the model that defines us to this day.

The model that defines us to this day.

2025

HitAI + HitSecurity

We multiplied our impact by adding generative AI and cybersecurity as business verticals.

We stopped being just a software factory and started building specific solutions for each pain point in the digital business.

2025

New era

Joaco, our technical founder, stepped up as CEO. Brand relaunch, new website, new architecture.

Same purpose: tech solutions without the pain.

2026

Corporate and government expansion

In LATAM we reached governments - projects with public organizations.

In the United States we're growing in product development with clients looking for high-quality nearshore teams.
