An engineering team built where the work happens.
Dlaw Agency was founded in 2026 by Lawrence Nixon — a builder who saw a gap that nobody was filling: ambitious businesses across Ethiopia and emerging markets were stuck between two bad options. Pay Silicon Valley prices for software that didn't understand them, or settle for cheap local work that broke six months later.
We built Dlaw Agency to close that gap — as a full-stack engineering team that ships world-class software, websites, AI systems, and automation, with the cultural depth to understand local businesses and the technical depth to deliver enterprise-grade reliability.
Today we engineer four service lines under one roof: Custom Software (stock systems, school management platforms, POS, dashboards), Websites (from one-pagers to multi-page brand sites), AI Receptionists (our AIDA platform handles WhatsApp, Telegram, and web 24/7 in any language), and Digital Automation (workflows that save your team hours every week).
We work with businesses in Ethiopia and worldwide — from leather manufacturers in Addis to dental clinics in Istanbul to law firms in London. Same hands-on approach, same founder leading every project.
Our Mission
Give every ambitious business — large or small, anywhere in the world — the software, websites, and AI they need to run faster, capture every customer, and scale without limits. One engineering team. The full stack.
Our Vision
Make Ethiopia the leading source of software, websites, and AI products for emerging markets and beyond. We're proving that world-class digital systems can be engineered and shipped from Addis Ababa — and we're inviting clients across the world to come along for the ride.
