We had the good fortune of connecting with Jeff Scaman and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jeff, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I have been an entrepreneur my whole life so for me, starting a new business is second nature. It all boils down to believing in an idea enough to actually invest money and execute a plan to make it happen. My latest venture is named DUBL, I have no doubt that this is a great idea worth pursuing.
What should our readers know about your business?
All great ideas are born over good meals with friends! In 2017, I was on a business trip in Dallas and met some good friends, Brad and Tiffany Cooke, for dinner. A great meal and catching up on lost time led to the most riveting of discussions – patents, software apps, and technology. To make a long story short, we got talking about dash cameras, Nest, and the ever-increasing need for security in ride-shares. The idea of NEST, but for your car, even came up. This got everyone’s wheels turning. What if we developed a dual-camera dashcam app for phones, allowing people to record inside and outside their vehicles simultaneously? We all recognized the immense value this could have to parents of teenage drivers and ride-share drivers and riders.
We collectively researched the market of available apps and discovered there was nothing available that accomplished what we had envisioned-a simple app that leveraged both phone cameras to simultaneously generate recordings. With the potential market for our idea verified, DUBL Development, LLC was born and the development of the original DUBL app commenced.
We initially launched the original DUBL app on Android in December 2018, but quickly switched to Apple to leverage the capabilities of the iOS platform. Since then, we have successfully launched three dual-camera apps: DUBL, DUBL Drive, and DUBL Pro for the iPhone XR and all later models.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
On the first day I would take them to this wonderful Mexican restaurant in Highlands Ranch named Los Dos Potrillos. We would then go to a Rockies game at Coors Field.
Next day, drive to the mountains, depending on time of year, go ski or take a hike. Then go to Tavern West restaurant in Frisco.
3rd Day. We would go out to breakfast at Sunshine Cafe in Silverthorne. Then we would head over to Keystone Resort and spend some time in the spa.
4th Day. Drive to Colorado Springs, check out Garden of the Gods and Pike’s Peak.
6th Day. Spend the day at Chatfield Reservoir. Rent a boat, go water skiing and have a picnic.
6th Day. We’d get an early start and hit Santiago’s on the way to the airport and I’d wave goodbye!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Yes. I’d live to give a shout out to Angel Tuccy of the Angel and Tina Morning Show. Angel assisted DUBL with several press releases and media spots and it helped us get launched.
