  • About Dabble

    whitney-and-jemal

    In 2011 the Dabble co-founders, Erin & Jess, realized that life was too busy and that their bucket list was too long. They quit their jobs and built Dabble in two months. Three years later they passed the torch to a new team.

    In 2014, Jemal Swoboda believed the idea was a perfect match for his skills and took over with a vision for an open platform and international expansion. Many passionate team members have helped the company grow since 2014 and we are now working to get to the next level of sustainable revenue and profitability…and momentum is building.

    Thousands of experiences. Tens of thousands of Dabblers. Today, Dabble exists to connect passion and curiosity face-to-face in the community. Teach. Learn. Host. Go Dabble!
