Quarterly operates a quarterly subscription service that ships curated physical gift boxes from influential contributors—authors, artists, bloggers, and entrepreneurs—to paying subscribers. Contributors named in the article include Tim Ferriss, Pharrell Williams, Heather Armstrong and Alexis Ohanian. The company says each mailing provides subscribers with unique insight and closer access to what inspires the contributor. Quarterly plans to use new capital to expand its subscription service and grow its base of subscribers and contributors. The company has raised approximately $2.2 million to date following a $1 million additional funding round. Founded in 2011 and datelined in Hollywood, Quarterly emphasizes bringing online relationships offline through tangible, curated experiences. Quarterly is a subscription-based mail service that delivers curated gifts and packages from designers, writers, and tech celebrities for $25/month. The startup quickly found demand after launching, recording roughly $100K in gross sales in its first 12 weeks and briefly closing new sign-ups to catch up on fulfillment. Founder Zach Frechette and the team re-architected the product for scale while recruiting additional contributors such as Jason Kottke and (soon) Tim Ferriss to keep offerings fresh. The company has added industry executives to its leadership and advisory ranks, including Tonya Michlin as VP of Retail Production and Mitch Lowe on the advisory board, and Tony Conrad joined the board. Quarterly is positioning itself in the design, tech, and geek-focused gift market and reopened to new subscribers after securing growth capital. The product emphasis remains tangible, curated experiences delivered via mail to creators’ audiences.
