About Adaca

2015

Founded as Station Five (Sydney)

We began as an innovation consultancy, helping large organisations like Qantas, EY, Bupa, and ANZ transform their operations through technology.

2020

Major Transformation

As COVID disrupted markets, we pivoted from institutional innovation to delivering agile engineering teams for startups, led by industry veterans and backed by a strong advisory board.

2021 to 2022

From Six to a Hundred

We grew from a tight-knit core of six to over 100 full-time engineers in just 18 months, focused on empowering early-stage companies and high-impact initiatives.

2022

New Innovations

When the World Food Programme enlisted us to support conflict-sensitivity tech in the Philippines and Bangladesh, we demonstrated our model works at scale and in complex environments.

Following success, we partnered with the Swiss Government and the United Nations to support critical programs in the Horn of Africa, solidifying our role in mission-driven tech.

Late 2022

Welcome to Adaca

Station Five had evolved beyond its original scope. We rebranded to Adaca, a name that pays tribute to Ada Lovelace, the first ever computer programmer.

Our experience with Adaca has been nothing short of exceptional. They helped us recruit the right person for a challenging role that we found difficult to fill for some time. They took care to listen to what we needed, worked with us to identify the key skills and personal attributes required for the role then presented us with quality candidates and continually refined the process with us until we found the right candidate. Overall, Adaca has been a valuable partner, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

We've had the pleasure of working with Adaca for over six years, and they continue to be an invaluable partner. What sets Adaca apart is not only the quality of their technical talent but also their strategic approach to partnership. They don’t just supply developers who demonstrate deep expertise, they actively support and develop their team members, which shows in the consistency, reliability, and forward-thinking mindset of the people we work with. Their collaborative style, professionalism and ability to evolve with us have made them a trusted and respected extension of our team. We’re proud to work alongside Adaca and look forward to continuing our partnership.
