History

Bombas launched in 2013, after founders Randy Goldberg and David Heath[1] learned that socks are the most requested clothing item in homeless shelters.[2] They established the brand’s mission to donate one pair of socks for every pair purchased.[2]

The company first received funding in 2013, raising nearly $145,000 through the crowdfunding website Indiegogo. A year later, the company raised $1 million in seed funding from friends and family.[3] The founders appeared on a September 2014 episode of ABC’s Shark Tank and secured a deal with Daymond John, with John providing $200,000 for 17.5% of the company.[4] In 2018, the company exceeded $100 million in revenue.[5]

By April 2020, Bombas had donated 35 million pairs of socks.[6]

In June 2020, Bombas released a collection of socks for which the company would donate an apparel item to a charity supporting LGBT youth for each item purchased.[7]
