E26: Dan Demsky | Pack Less, Experience More - How Constant Traveling Inspired Three Friends to Create a New Kind of Clothing Company

Starting It Up

Dan Demsky is the Co-founder of Unbound Merino. Unbound Merino sources nature's ultimate performance fiber, Australian Merino wool, to create apparel that can be worn for weeks or even months, without ever needing to be washed. Dan started this company alongside his two best friends, with the goal of minimizing the burdens of travel, so that you can maximize the experience of your trip. Dan had previously founded a digital media agency, and another clothing business prior to Unbound, so we see how those experiences shaped his decisions. Unbound Merino has been doubling revenue year over year and is set to do $4M+ in its 3rd year in business. We talk about how to get a product off-the-ground using crowdfunding, what it’s like to start and run a company with your best friends, how to scale a direct to consumer (D2C) business, and more!
