Nomad

Nomad Goods, Inc. is a consumer electronics and lifestyle products company headquartered in Santa Barbara, California. Founded in 2012 by Noah Dentzel, Brian Hahn, and Adam Miller, Nomad Goods specializes in designing and manufacturing minimalist, rugged, and refined accessories for mobile devices. The company's product line includes a wide array of items such as leather phone cases, charging cables, portable battery packs, wireless chargers, Apple Watch bands, and other everyday carry accessories. Nomad's philosophy centers on resourcefulness and owning the tools that matter, believing that the smartphone is the 21st-century equivalent of the sword – a tool that can empower individuals to change the world.

The company's journey began with a Kickstarter campaign in July 2012 for its first product, the ChargeCard, a slim, credit-card-sized USB charging cable. This initial project significantly surpassed its funding goal, raising $161,897. Following this success, Nomad launched its second product, the ChargeKey, shaped like a house key, through an Indiegogo campaign in October 2013, which also exceeded its funding target by raising $172,274. Over the years, Nomad has expanded its offerings to over 50 products for smartphone and smartwatch users, focusing on world-class materials, durability, and meticulous attention to detail. Their products are distributed through major retailers like Best Buy and Urban Outfitters, as well as select global retailers. Nomad is committed to sustainability, implementing strategies such as using 100% paper-based packaging, purchasing carbon offsets for shipping and manufacturing, and utilizing bio and recycled plastics. The company emphasizes creating products that are built to last and designed to elevate everyday gear.
