Our Story

Enterprise level software and hardware have, surprisingly, fallen behind when it comes to usability and intelligence. Dugo aims to change (a segment) of that by focusing on the energy management of cell towers.

So why this problem and not thousands of others? Because it was something that Kianoosh, Dugo's co-founder and CEO, had to deal with. An avid engineer in the area of usability of technology, he’s been obsessed with how designers and engineers connect people to technology.

In his former position at a wireless company, one of his main tasks was to handle energy challenges for about 1,000 cell towers. In a nutshell, he had to make sure that cell towers would run if there was a power outage. He was given a multi-million dollar yearly budget and had to work with 50 technicians and several engineers. Although everyone was great, the task remained challenging and driven by manual labor. He always thought, "It shouldn't be this painful."

When he left his job, he decided to work on making this easier for his former colleagues. That was when Dugo, as an idea, was incepted. A few months later, Dugo comprised of developers, designers, and advisors. Along the way, many technicians, engineers and managers lent a helping hand and Dugo's team would like to thank them all for their honest and invaluable feedback. Without them, we wouldn't be here.
