Since 2012 : Crafting Tools for Life on the Move

 

Nomad’s story began in 2012 in Santa Barbara, California, when founders Noah Dentzel and Brian Hahn set out with a bold idea: to reimagine the way we carry power. Their debut product, the ChargeCard, was a credit-card-sized portable phone charger that slipped neatly into a wallet. Launched on Kickstarter, the project struck an immediate chord with smartphone users tired of bulky cables. It raised over $160,000, three times its original goal, and quickly drew international attention.

 

That success established Nomad as a brand defined by design and problem-solving. The name itself reflects a philosophy of mobility and durability, creating functional tools for people constantly on the move. Early on, the founders tapped into a growing community of modern travelers, creatives, and professionals who wanted tech accessories that looked as good as they performed.
