Dash Water
Our journey with Dash Water
Dash is a fast growing infused sparkling water brand that is a genuine alternative to sugary soft drinks. We began our journey with Alex and Jack in 2016, back when Dash was a start-up, albeit a start-up brand with a fantastic products and founders. Over the years we have provided a wide variety of services to Dash and remain regularly involved.
Q: Alex, can you share how you initially connected with DRG and what made them stand out as the partner of choice for Dash?
A: Absolutely. We discovered DRG through word-of-mouth, a testament to their strong reputation. Initially, we were a tiny team, just my co-founder and me. DRG’s comprehensive approach to not just accounting but strategic growth guidance was exactly what we needed.
Q: At the start, what were the key challenges Dash faced, and how did DRG help navigate these?
A: One of our main challenges was managing the financial aspects without an in-house team. DRG came on board to handle our bookkeeping, management accounts, and even played a crucial role in our first investment rounds. Their support allowed us to focus on our strengths—brand building and marketing.
Q: How did the relationship evolve as Dash grew?
A: As we grew, our needs changed. We began to handle more operations in-house but continued to rely on DRG for strategic finance and investment guidance. Their flexibility and willingness to adapt their services were invaluable.
Q: Alex, could you highlight any specific strategies or insights from DRG that propelled Dash’s growth?
A: Certainly. Beyond the fundamental financial management, DRG’s strategic insights into funding rounds and growth strategies were pivotal. They’ve seen what works across the industry and helped us avoid common pitfalls, ensuring our rapid but sustainable growth.
Q: And would you recommend DRG to other businesses?
A: Wholeheartedly. Their expertise is not limited to finance but extends into strategic growth planning. They’ve been instrumental in our journey, and I’ve recommended them to numerous businesses across various sectors.
“Their expertise is not limited to finance but extends into strategic growth planning.”
