Porter Road is an online butcher shop, connecting the nation with high quality, pasture-raised, hand-cut meat.
While working together in 2010, Porter Road co-founders Chris and James learned how hard it was to consistently get their hands on quality meat from sources they trusted, and knew they couldn't be the only ones looking for a better way.
So, they took matters into our own hands and started a local butcher shop to bring the best local, pasture-raised meat to Nashville. In 2018, we launched rorterroad.com nationwide and are determined to share our delicious and responsibly sourced products with anyone in search of a better way to buy meat.

Bombas is a comfort focused apparel brand with a mission to help those in need. The organization launched in 2013, after the founders learned that socks are the #1 most requested clothing item at homeless shelters. From there, they set out to solve that problem, donating a pair of socks for every pair they sell. How do you donate a lot of socks? You sell a lot. And how do you sell a lot? You make the most comfortable socks in the history of feet. Millions of pairs sold and donated later, Bombas is continuing to innovate with new socks and apparel while creating a positive impact on the community where we all work and live.
