Their online store also sells a variety of men’s products, such as facial kits, clothing, accessories, gear, decor, kitchen tools, and food and drink.[1]
History
Bespoke Post was established in November of 2011 by Rishi Prabhu and Steve Szaronos, both graduates of The Kellogg School at Northwestern.[2] In June of 2011, Bespoke Post received its initial funding with $25K in Seed Funding from Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator.[3] In March of 2013, Bespoke Post raised an additional $850K in Seed Funding from investors such as 500 Startups, Great Oaks Venture Capital, Scout Ventures, and Bradley C.

Membership
Bespoke Post's membership model allows the customer to preview and choose their box at the beginning of every month and, if a customer doesn't like the box they’re assigned, they can swap out that box for another or skip that month.[14]
Bespoke Post recently launched a wine club for millennial men and announced that it's creating its own brand development studio named the Foundry, which launched its first brand, Base Light, in October of 2018.[15][16]
