Devex has more than 800,000 registered members within the international development community, including development organizations, donor agencies, suppliers and aid workers. The company claims to have more than 1 million active users.
Devex's president and editor-in-chief, Raj Kumar, began the organization in 2000 as a student project at Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University. Kumar’s goal was to lower the administrative costs of donor agencies so they could devote a greater share of resources to foreign-assistance projects themselves.
