• Bombfell

  Participated · Seed · Feb 2013

  Bombfell operates a monthly subscription service that ships shirts, jeans and other brand-name clothing to men, using measured sizing and curated selections to improve fit and style. The company offers tiered plans at $69, $129 and $199 per month to provide varying brand quality and product types, including outerwear. Bombfell reports thousands of shipments each month, six consecutive months of double-digit revenue growth, and a churn rate below 3 percent. Its return rate is at the low end of the e-commerce average, which the founders cite as critical to the business model. The predictable subscription demand lets Bombfell keep limited inventory and secure better discounts from vendors as subscriber counts rise. The company recently moved to New York to be closer to suppliers and has expanded its advisor roster to support growth. Bombfell operates a monthly subscription for men's clothing that pairs customers with a personal stylist. The stylist is supported by an algorithm that surfaces the best matches for users based on fit and style. The service targets men who lack time or are unsure what to buy. The company joined the 500 Startups Accelerator to accelerate growth and product development. As part of the program, Bombfell will receive up to $100k in funding and access to mentors, designers and a creative workspace. Bombfell was founded in San Francisco by Jason Kim and Bernie Yoo and is described as Mountain View, CA-based in the article.
