Key Takeaways

• The BFG Adrenaline program brought much-needed structure and accountability to Domino.

• Workshops on sales strategies, legal frameworks, and accounting practices were particularly valuable.

• By the end of the 8-week program, Domino’s client base had grown, and the team had increased their MRR (monthly recurring revenue) significantly, with additional clients and major partnerships in the pipeline.

Program Experience

Before joining the BFG Adrenaline program, Domino was just starting out, with only one client and a modest revenue of $250 per month. Their experience in the program highlighted the importance of strategic clarity, as the team gained perspective on their direction, refined their focus, and steered away from less viable options.

The BFG Adrenaline program emphasized the importance of regular meetings with the team’s startup mentors, creating a framework of accountability that had been missing. This new discipline led to stricter internal deadlines and a more rigorous workflow, which has continued even after the program. 

The various workshops during the program also left an impact on the team. One standout workshop on sales emphasized persistent follow-ups, which directly helped close deals for the team that had previously stalled. The sessions on legal matters and regulatory frameworks helped the team to clarify crucial aspects of fundraising and compliance, and the workshop on accounting practices provided very helpful tools and resources for managing startup finances.

“In the last six months, we grew from zero to one, and a lot of that ground was covered in the past two months. Moving a startup from zero to one is ridiculously difficult, achieving this in such a short period is significant."
