Its model is simple: for every pair sold, the company donates a pair to charity. The founders are Randy Goldberg and David Heath, who started the company in 2013, according to Wikipedia.\n\nWikipedia reports that the company raised nearly $145,000 on Indiegogo in 2013, then $1 million in seed funding from friends and family a year later. In 2014 the founders pitched on Shark Tank. Wikipedia dates the episode to September 2014; CNBC says only 2014. Neither page gives a season or episode number, and neither says how much the founders asked for.\n\nCNBC's 2017 story says Daymond John was willing to invest $200,000 for 17.5% equity, and that no other Shark wanted in because they feared the donation model would be too costly. Wikipedia says the company secured a deal with John. We have not seen the final closed terms in either source, so we do not state them.\n\nCNBC reports that when the founders pitched they had $450,000 in sales, and that Heath said the company did $1.2 million in sales in the two months after the episode and sold out of inventory. That is Heath's account. CNBC also said the company was on track for $50 million in sales in 2017. Wikipedia, citing Inc., says revenue exceeded $100 million in 2018.\n\nOn donations, CNBC says the count rose from 70,000 pairs before the show to more than 4 million by 2017. Wikipedia says 35 million pairs by April 2020. These figures cover different years, so they do not conflict. None of the numbers on this page have been checked against filings.","A Shark Tank deal with Daymond John in 2014",[15,20,25,29],{"year":16,"title":17,"type":18,"note":19},2013,"Bombas launches and raises on Indiegogo","debut","Wikipedia says nearly $145,000 was raised on Indiegogo, then $1 million in seed funding a year later.",{"year":21,"title":22,"type":23,"note":24},2014,"Pitches on Shark Tank","milestone","Wikipedia says September 2014.
