Bombas Socks Cozies Up With Daymond | Shark Tank: How It Started

[timothymcculloch]

Just a testimony, I was homeless due to addiction for 5 months. While in & out of homeless shelters I was introduced to Bombas socks. Now that I’ve been clean over two year & getting on my feet Bombas socks is all I’ll wear.

$225 million in 6 years is just impressive.
This is what entrepreneurship is all about...
👏👏👏

[donlloyd]

Just goes to prove when all others say no it only takes one to say yes and then it's history made. My hats off to Damon for believing in these two and having the insight the others overlooked! Great job guys!

The fact that they actually designed special Shirts for the needs of the homeless is so incredible. They could have just donated crappy tees, but their thoughtfulness is so loving.

[TopAutoRepairs]

I was given these socks as a gift. They are great and comfortable.

Daymond at the end: "This has been such a unique investment for me. I've learned so much about social causes and I've learned about giving back to the community. It's absolutely amazing and for those reasons I'm out."

[justingoodwin]

I love that he said for people experiencing homelessness instead of homeless people. A slight difference in words equals a huge difference in perspective.

[OfficialKlassic]

Daymond’s best investment yet. I love how they didn’t cheap out on the t-shirts you can tell that’s a quality comfortable shirt that they will actually wear. No cheesy branding just a simple t-shirt that anybody could wear. Love this company and the vision, very happy Daymond invested.

[senorgato]

Kevin, Lori, and Robert's attitudes here just ticked me off. I'm glad they got a deal, are doing such amazing revenue, and are helping the community. What more can be said? And I love their socks.

3:05 - 3:09 Daymond showed he is a true boss. He made the entrepreneurs realize their CFO is irrelevant and possibly not needed in the future.

[elanonymoram]

Most comfortable socks I've ever had, long lasting and really great quality. Bombas is the only socks I wear.

“People don’t buy what you do. They buy why you do it”

And that’s exactly why they are so successful

[momoyola]

i worked for a homeless outreach program and these socks are so loved by the community

[GarrettOst]

I actually got a pair of Bombas socks when I was living in a shelter in NYC. They were quite comfortable. Thank you!

[sergbustam]

All things considered, this is one of the greatest deals on Shark Tank ever . Hard to believe that Daymond was the only one who had the vision for it ! ! !

[samjeypaul]

hats off to the boys, daymond has a great heart

[peformix-]

Also Nike just lost a customer for socks, switching to these guys . Love that they donate

[johnnylego]

Major respect and hats off to daymond for doing this, because if he hadn’t, we wouldn’t here the success it is today, and how many they have helped!! And for that, godbless you daymond! This was a really good investment

[chrisnoziere]

This is why Daymond is my favorite shark. He’s negotiable and he likes learning and exploring new things.

[NerinaRSA]

This is what I call business with heart. Damon hit the jackpot.
