Startup Studios
Program Overview
Since launching, our Startup Studios have powered more than 100 founder projects helping participants generate over $335K in revenue and raise $4M in outside capital. In small, focused cohorts of three to four projects, founders grow alongside peers facing similar challenges and roadblocks.
Operating for seven weeks at a time, our Startup Studio model gives founders the flexibility to tackle their "next hardest step" from product development and market alignment to operational processes and fundraising preparation.
Depending on the individual circumstances of each project, participants can "stack" cohorts to tackle broader, long-term challenges, or join for a single cohort to address a specific one.
Our Founders
Our Startup Studios are designed to meet founders in motion, helping support their natural drive and innovation with structured support. Successful participants learn how to gather evidence, make decisions, adapt to new information, and create meaningful momentum in their venture long after the program ends.
Our founders bring a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds to the Studio. From community members seeking connection and mentorship, to students discovering their own process and potential, to alumni looking to reengage with the University, each Studio participant brings a unique perspective to the room. Participants support each other, building connections that last beyond the cohort.

Founder Highlights
Brody Sanchez
Shredder
“One of the things that the Doman cohort has helped my company with is vision, clarity, and understanding how to actually move forward in our business.”
Shredder was built by people who would rather be out there too. Every feature exists for one reason: to spend less time on your phone and more time doing what you love, with people who get it.
Whether you ski, snowboard, surf, hike or ride, you will find your people here. Shredder is built to get you off your phone and into real life, with the people around you who are heading out too.

“Feeling how much trust the Doman team had in me when I created Field Rush gave me the extra boost in confidence to continue going.”
At Field Rush, we believe college football is more than just a game. Its a way of life. “Rush that damn field” isn’t just our slogan; it’s a call to seize every moment on the field and in life. Our mission is to capture the raw and electric spirit of the game through engaging videos, creative graphics, and beautiful stories. Ultimately, inspiring fans to chase their dreams with purpose.
Claire Hart
Marke Studios
“The Doman Innovation Studio has been such a meaningful part of my journey as a founder. Starting a business is an incredibly intimidating and often isolating experience.”
Having a community of experienced, insightful mentors and fellow entrepreneurs has made all the difference. I've grown faster in these early stages than I ever expected to, and Doman was a big part of that, pushing me to think bigger, helping me identify the "next right step", and just surrounding me with people who genuinely want to see me succeed.
