Curate Conversations | Episode 004 How to Create Human-First Technology with Dubsado Co-Founders Becca + Jake Berbg In this episode, Pia interviews Becca and Jake Berg, husband and wife co-founders of Dubsado — our favorite CRM at CWco., and probably yours too.  Dubsado’s motto is: More business, less busywork. Dubsado helps your business stay in motion: Build relationships, schedule appointments, and create workflows to streamline your projects from start to finish. We use Dubsado every single day, and so it was so cool to get to chat with Becca and Jake about how they’ve built the company over the last 6 years.  In this episode, we talk about their main measure of success as a human-first tech company, how they almost exclusively focus on what their users want and need and use this to drive their evolution (they even have a public roadmap you can see on their website of which features are coming next), what they did to create more with less and grow their business, why customization sets their software apart, and the pattens of life as an entrepreneur.  Links mentioned in this episode: @dubsado https://www.dubsado.com (code CURATE10) Dubsado Development Roadmap Sign up for the Curate Community Membership (code PODCAST for 20% off) to join our global community of business leaders and entrepreneurs.
