About EZ DZ
Built by a Skydiver Who Wanted Better
EZ DZ began as a passion project after founder Kaden jumped at a Florida dropzone running Burble. The app did the basics but felt dated, and he knew his own home DZ could benefit from something more modern without the hefty price tag. The question became: what would a dropzone platform look like if it balanced today’s UX with the realities of weekend operations?
In 2019 our founder, Kaden, spent a short stint jumping at a Florida dropzone running Burble. Even as a visiting fun jumper—not someone sitting behind manifest—he noticed the dated UI and aging mobile flow. The core features were there, but the experience felt stuck in a different era.
When Kaden returned home, his home dropzone owner mentioned they had considered Burble but couldn’t justify the price. Meanwhile, staff still scribbled loads on the hangar window, reconciled credits with spreadsheets, and texted updates manually. Operations worked, but everyone knew they could run tighter and faster with the right tooling.
After seasons spent occasionally helping the team wrangle analytics and cross-check load sheets, Kaden began mapping a solution that could streamline day-to-day operations and improve the experience for manifest, fun jumpers, and owners alike.
While working full-time in real estate, Kaden began building EZ DZ—grinding on prototypes, stress-testing integrations, and validating features with the same crews that inspired the platform in the first place.
The first MVP was a bare-bones manifest board that let fun jumpers check weather and upcoming load slots from their phones. With steady feedback from the home DZO, it evolved into a full booking, marketing, and analytics platform ready for any dropzone.
Milestones on the Journey
From scribbled notes between loads to a platform trusted by growing dropzones around the world.
First jumps & first ideas
Kaden discovered skydiving and spent time at a Florida dropzone running Burble. The app worked, but the UI felt dated, and he knew his home DZ—still juggling window manifests, spreadsheets, and manual updates—deserved better.
Designing the modern stack
The first MVP was a simple fun jumper manifest board showing weather and upcoming load slots. Friends could check the board from their phones, and the vision quickly grew.
Grinding toward launch
Working elbow-to-elbow with his home dropzone, Kaden shipped beta features, validated them on live loads, and kept iterating based on daily feedback.
A suite built for growth
EZ DZ now unifies manifest, bookings, marketing, and analytics—with a roadmap shaped by the teams who rely on it every weekend.
What Drives Us
Four principles keep EZ DZ focused on the realities of your dropzone.
Designed by someone in the sport
Every screen is informed by real manifest shifts, turbine loads, and tracking walk-ups in the heat of the day.
Built alongside working dropzones
We ship features with our home DZ in the loop, so what you see in production is already battle-tested before it ever reaches you.
Committed to radical clarity
Transparent pricing, straightforward onboarding, and tooling that works on day one without a fleet of consultants.
Always leveling up
We iterate fast. Expect new manifest workflows, fun jumper tools, and marketing automations rolling out on a regular cadence.
Who’s Behind EZ DZ
We’re a lean team that wears rigging gloves and keyboard calluses in the same week.
Kaden
Founder & Product Lead
Skydiver since 2019 and the original nerd behind EZ DZ. Kaden splits time between his full time real estate career, coding, testing on the dropzone floor, filming tutorial content for new admins and working on other side projects.
We collaborate with instructors, videographers, tandem students, and manifest supervisors at our partner dropzones. Their names might not appear here, but they shape every release.
The Modern Stack for Growing Dropzones
EZ DZ unifies manifest, billing, marketing, and analytics so you can turn more loads with less friction. We’re building the system we wished we had on day one.
