Truls Brataas, Db Journey Founder

Truls Brataas is an engineer, CEO and founder of Db Journey.

Growing up in Oslo, Norway, Truls started snowboarding. He got a scholarship to study Entrepreneurship in Utah and spent most of the time on the slopes. When he returned he wanted to continue studying and did a MSc in Mechanical Engineering back home. 3 years into the course Truls went travelling around the world, surfing, hiking and exploring. 

In 2009 on a surfing trip in Norway Truls met freeski legend Jon Olsson. They bonded on action sports and the idea of trying to redefine travel gear and enhance better journeys. Truls worked on a ski bag prototype in his student dorm room using his life savings. He went to China to find the right factory and in 2012 they officially launched Db to the world. 10 years on and Db have produced backpacks, carry bags, luggage and accessories for outdoor lifestyles and travel. They are a 5-time Gaselle award winner and multiple ISPO design award winner with over 60 staff and ship worldwide.
