Nomad is a consumer electronics and lifestyle products company based out of Santa Barbara, California. Their products include leather phone cases, charging cables, portable battery packs, wireless chargers and travel accessories. Nomad began with its first products ChargeCard, ChargeKey and NomadPlus.[1] Founded in 2012, they debuted on Kickstarter on July 18, 2012.[2][3] In response to COVID-19, Nomad shifted their operations to produce PPE.[4]
Nomad was founded by Noah Dentzel, Brian Hahn and Adam Miller in 2012. Sharing a passion for adventure and minimalism, the founders wanted to create a discrete and portable charging device. Their first product, ChargeCard, was a super-slim USB Cable charger that fit in any wallet like a credit card.[5] They began a campaign to gauge interest in the project and shortly thereafter launched their first product on Kickstarter on July 18, 2012. Their funding goal was $50,000. The product gained attention from investors and managed to triple their target funding goal, ultimately raising $161,897. The founders began production and shipped their first lot of units in the following March. The product gained media attention from The New York Times,[6] AppleInsider, ``HuffPost``, Mashable, and others.[7]
Over the years Nomad has expanded their product line; Nomad now offers over 50 products for smartphone and smartwatch users, distributed by retailers such as Best Buy, Urban Outfitters, select retailers globally. In 2015, the company made their first non-electronic device, when they launched Stand, an Apple Watch accessory. In 2016 Nomad partnered with Horween Leather Co. and began designing fine leather phone cases, watch straps and wallets.[8] Most recently, Nomad has launched a wireless charging hub for smartphones.
