Why we built this

Dorm Dough started with survival-then we found our freedom.

When rent, ramen, and random fees keep hitting, you need real answers faster than a self-help fairytale. We launched Dorm Dough to turn "I wish someone told me" moments into playbooks anyone can use.

One Monday Night

It began with two broke roommates trading hacks to stretch twenty bucks a week and still have a life. What started as survival turned into strategy--learning how to save, stack, and make real dough. Then we got free, one small win at a time--flipping thrift finds, turning our studies into side income, and compounding gains with smarter investments--and started passing those hacks down the hall. Word spread, doors opened, and before long the whole dorm was swapping tips, sharing wins, and figuring out how to flip broke into freedom together.

That is how Dorm Dough was born--not from a business plan, but from a hallway full of students who decided to take control and change their story.

What we stand for

Access over hype

We make it easy to start. You should not need a finance background or a six-figure trust fund to get confident about money.

Progress over perfection

We celebrate the small wins--splitting a bill faster, increase in credit score, scheduling your first Roth IRA deposit.

Community over competition

We stand for the dorm--the place where we figure it out together, build it from nothing, and move forward stronger.
