Flint and Tinder is an e-commerce apparel company focused on premium, made-in‑USA men’s underwear. The company launched via Kickstarter, selling 27,000 pairs in 30 days and raising $291,493 on the platform to fund its first production run. Founder Jake Bronstein enlisted and reconfigured U.S. factories to produce underwear (and an undershirt line), emphasizing competitive pricing rather than charity. The brand targets the premium underwear market with price points around $19 a pair, accepting smaller but "livable" margins for domestic manufacturing. Flint and Tinder already ships internationally but does not treat abroad as a primary focus. The company says the new seed financing will be used to build the business beyond its Kickstarter origins; there are no retail deals such as Nordstrom in place and no current plans to expand into women's undergarments.
