Dan Cederholm：Dribbble 最初源于一个简单的想法，即创建一个平台让设计师们分享彼此的工作和项目，并了解彼此的最新动态。这个想法受到了其他社交网络平台的启发，例如 Flickr 和 Twitter。Dribbble 的核心始终是为设计师提供一个社区，让他们分享作品并获得工作机会。在初期，Dribbble 只是一个个人项目，由他和 Rich Boot 两人在业余时间开发，采用邀请制来控制社区质量和用户增长。通过发送明信片和 T 恤衫等方式邀请用户参与，并逐渐放开邀请限制，Dribbble 吸引了越来越多的设计师加入。Dribbble 的成功也离不开其良好的时机和高质量的内容，它成为了设计师寻找工作和提升知名度的平台，从而形成了良性循环。Dribbble 的盈利模式主要包括招聘广告和付费专业账户。在发展过程中，Dan Cederholm 也意识到自己更擅长创作而非管理，这导致他在管理方面面临一些挑战。他强调了与志同道合的人共事的重要性，以及在创业过程中保持身心健康的重要性。
