Brian Spaly and Andy Dunn are the founders of the e-commerce apparel company Bonobos. Brian Spaly began designing men’s pants while studying at Stanford and later decided to pursue the business legitimately. As the business grew, Spaly’s roommate Andy Dunn decided to join the company as a business partner. Additionally, the business partners received financial assistance from various angel investors. By 2007 they had officially launched Bonobos as an exclusively online business. Following the success of Bonobos pants, the company expanded into various other men’s clothing items. In 2017, Walmart acquired the company for a sum of $310 million. While not sold in Walmart, Bonobos will be sold online through Walmart’s recently acquired Jet.com. The success of Bonobos is a product of both the drive and commitment shown by its founders, combined with an innovative and simple product.
