Founder story

Founded in 2012 by Davorin Gabrovec in Boston. Davorin, an experienced software architect, saw that most business data was 'locked' in disparate tools and hard to monitor. He built Databox to be the 'mobile-first dashboard' for the modern CEO, eventually scaling it to support over 1,000 agencies and 20,000+ businesses.
