Ridge is a direct-to-consumer brand founded by father-and-son Daniel and Paul Kane in 2013 known for minimalist aluminum and carbon-fiber front-pocket wallets, later expanding into rings, keycases, AirPods cases and travel goods. Under CEO Sean Frank (who joined as COO in 2018) the company scaled past nine figures of annual revenue while remaining largely bootstrapped — its only outside capital is a 2021 minority growth investment from Hilco Capital. Frank has publicly targeted a $1B sale within a few years.
