Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jeff Scaman. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Jeff thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea.
When we started out we had an idea for a dashcam app using dual camera technology. In order to execute on this we had to figure out how to develop a great app, so we started searching for a developer. We were able to connect with an old friend of one of our co-founders and we hired his firm to develop our initial app. As a former app developer for a major tech company, our developer was highly qualified to build us a fantastic app and then several new iterations since launch. After one year we had developed three apps named DUBL, DUBL PRO and DUBL DRIVE and our downloads are increasing by the day.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
I was a former tech CEO at a transportation-related startup and had a lot of experience with video technology. When we decided to launch DUBL, it was an exciting proposition because I could use my past experience with video to assist DUBL in getting a product to market.
We wanted to launch a new dual camera app that would allow people to record front and rear cameras simultaneously on their wireless devices, so we founded DUBL. Since then we have launched two new apps named DUBL PRO and DUBL DRIVE which are available on the App Store.
DUBL PRO is a professional grade video app with dual camera recording, accompanied by customized text and the ability to add a custom company logo, making it a truly amazing marketing tool for small business and professionals. DUBL PRO is currently being offered for free. It’s like having your own app!
DUBL DRIVE is the first dual camera dashcam app ever offered on the App Store. It records forward and interior video and is integrated with Apple Maps and records speed, location and shock, and has automatic upload to the cloud for secure storage.
We are proud of the fact that we came up with an idea and were able to bring it to fruition and offer it to the world for free. We know that many people were using our app to assist their small businesses during the pandemic, and we are happy that we could help.
Our products and services can be seen on our website at DUBL.app
We will strive to make our apps the best in their class, and will continuously improve our offerings based on community feedback and requests.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
When we launched the original DUBL app on Android in December of 2018, we thought we had a fantastic app and that it would basically sell itself. We found out that you must work very hard and conduct constant marketing to get downloads and be successful in the app world. Since then, we have achieved a drastic increase in downloads which is continuing based on what we’ve learned.
Have you ever had to pivot?
After launching DUBL PRO on the App Store, we found out that we have several serious competitors for iOS. We also found that a majority of our competitors are mainly focused on social media uses of their apps. We took a hard look at the competitive landscape and decided to pivot to more specialized uses for our technology.
