What they Say About Us!
Don’t just take our word for it – check out what some of our community have to say about our resources and more:
Highly recommended!
I struggle with the “mountain problem” when getting my startup off the ground – with DB, they give you the overview of what you need to do for Zero to Hero’ing in your first year of a startup. From a blank page to structure, the financial part of The First Year Kit is awesome because this can be a really hard thing to start on your own.

More than I expected!
In my journey, it’s not just about finance & operations – there are many aspects of this (startup building) process that are not usually discussed. It is very useful to see real examples from other founders, and know how to build the internal structures by myself.
