Db x Looking Sideways Fund 2025

Got a project tucked away on your laptop, scribbled in a notebook, or bouncing around your mind? The kind that fires you up late at night but somehow gets sidelined when the day-to-day kicks in? We get it—been there ourselves. In fact, that’s exactly how Db started. Ideas can be tricky; they’re fragile, messy, and full of potential all at once. Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of guidance or a financial push to help turn that dream into something real. That’s where we come in—we’re here to offer both.

To celebrate our first holiday campaign, in 2025 we have partnered with our friend Matt at Looking Sideways to launch the Db Fund, looking to support creatives in bringing their most creative ideas to life, to tell their story, to give their unique view on the world and ideally create something that challenges us all.

The idea is simple: together, we want to find the next generation of creatives, and help them tell the tales the world needs to know. Whether it’s an album, a documentary, clothing line or a furniture collection.

Db Fund - What we’ll offer you

This year, we will choose two winners and help them tell their stories. These winners will receive:

  • A budget of up to €5000 to make your project a reality.
  • Mentorship from our unrivalled team of creatives. Together, we’ve made books, films, podcasts, events, exhibitions and everything else.
  • Whatever your idea, we’ll match you up with people who can help guide you every step of the way.
  • A full Db Ramverk collection.

Deadline for entries: January 31st 2025

Winners announced: February 28th 2025
