In 2008, at the age of 22, Miami entrepreneur Jean Delva launched three websites that would become 1804WebSolutions, Inc., Rankontre, Inc., and Haiti Open, Inc. These companies continue to offer unique services to the Haitian community within their respective industries. 1804WebSolutions has built over 1,000 websites and launched over 100 internet marketing campaigns for clients. Rankontre, a Haitian dating app with over 200,000 members worldwide, has helped thousands of Haitians find love online, both in Haiti and in the diaspora. Haiti Open publishes a print magazine and thousands of business interviews and online articles to promote Haiti and its people through in-depth articles and immersive photography. Delva also uses the magazine to give back and run two yearly contests: one to promote young Haitians from ages 18 to 40 with a special edition, and another contest and a special magazine edition for business owners and professionals.

Delva caters to his internet marketing and website clients on a day-to-day basis while managing his Haitian-focused ventures and other ongoing projects to help Haiti and its people. Rapidd, a recently launched super business app for Haitians, is Delva’s next biggest project in 2025. The Rapidd app offers a modern directory, event listings, business listings, deal listings, podcasts, radio and TV streaming stations, and more—all within the Haitian-focused app. 

Delva likes to think of himself as a Nèg Andeyò, someone who used to raise pigs and goats and cultivate the land in Haiti, but now he plants ideas on the internet by building websites, publishing articles, and creating apps. He believes that individuals with the ability to assist their community should do so for the greater good and strive to pursue ambitious projects to inspire and help their people achieve new heights.
