OUR STORY
Built from life.
Open to possibility.
Rivorum brings together the things we know, the things we make, and the things we’re still curious enough to try.
A HUMAN STARTING POINTTwo dads.
Two dads.
Many ideas.
One shared direction.
We’re David and Mike DiMercurio-Smarch—the founders of Rivorum.
We’re two neurodivergent dads who bring lived experience, technology, creativity, and entrepreneurship to the same table. We care about practical problems because we live with them, too.
Neurodivergent Dads gave us a place to share honest stories. Our work in software and automation gave us another way to respond: build something useful. Rivorum is the company that brings those efforts together.
Formed in Michigan in November 2026, RIVORUM LLC is equally owned by David and Mike. It gives our brands and products a shared home while leaving room for each to find its own direction.
We’re here to make thoughtful technology, tell authentic stories, and keep learning from the people and experiences around us.

WHAT GUIDES US
Thoughtful by intention.
Practical by design.
Our mission: turn different perspectives into practical technology, authentic media, and thoughtful solutions.
Start with real life.
Useful ideas begin with listening. We look at the actual problem before deciding what to build.
Make room for difference.
People think, learn, and move through the world differently. Our work should make space for that.
Be honest about the work.
An idea is an idea. A product in development is still in development. We want our words to match what’s real.
Keep finding the course.
We leave room to experiment, change our minds, and learn. Progress can take more than one shape.
GOOD THINGS START WITH A CONVERSATION
