About Us

Our Story

MDB was founded in 2015 by a group of driven EECS and CS students at UC Berkeley with the vision of bringing Berkeley to the forefront of the Silicon Valley tech scene. Our founders saw mobile development as the best avenue for turning ideas into amazing products.

Since then, MDB has grown to be one of the largest student tech communities in Silicon Valley, with products ranging from student life apps to smart mirrors.

We value innovative and disruptive ideas, incredible projects, continuous learning, and above all amazing people. MDB is a community of fantastic friends with unique stories and a goal of making the best possible products and the best possible memories.
