Our History
In 2009, Delali Dzirasa founded Fearless with the goal of building a different kind of digital services company.
Seeing many government IT projects fail and seeing the need for strong firms that could help bring Agile and modern tech principles into the market, Fearless was born. We envision creating a world where good software powers things that matter.
We have lots of success leveraging tools and principles like the US Digital Services Playbook to scale our impact in Government. We’ve also co-founded The Digital Services Coalition to help grow the market of capable firms that can help in the digital services / civic tech movement.
The reality is that enough great firms don’t exist in the market and we knew we had to help create more – so 10 years in the game we wanted to help other avoid the pitfalls we hit over the years, and Hutch was born.
Why we
Are doing this
Over the past 10 years, Fearless has grown from a company of one employee, to one that supports 160+ direct jobs.
We were lucky enough to be accepted into the DoD Mentor Protégé program early in our growth, and we don’t take this or other informal mentorships we had along the way for granted. That’s why we launched Hutch in January 2019: to invest in growing Baltimore civic tech businesses.
What Fearless Is
We’re a full stack digital services firm in Baltimore that delivers sleek, modern, and user-friendly software designed to push the boundaries of possibility.
We build software to solve problems. Software has the potential to change lives, so we’ve made it our business to create innovative digital tools that allow users to perform at their maximum potential.
It’s our mission to build software with a soul – tools that empower communities and make a difference – so we can create a world where good software powers the things that matter.
