History
Endy was founded in 2015 by CEO Mike Gettis and Chairman Rajen Ruparell (previously of Groupon International).[6][7][8][9] In its start up year, Endy made $1 million in sales, $10 million in 2016, and $20 million in 2017.[10] In June 2016, Endy received the Techweek100 Top Innovators Award.[11]
In 2017, Endy appeared on CBC Dragons' Den.[12] Dragons Michele Romanow, Arlene Dickinson, and Joe Mimran jointly offered a $1 million investment in exchange for 7.5% of the company.[10]
In August 2018, Endy opened a new distribution centre in Langley, British Columbia. The company also operates a distribution centre in Mississauga, Ontario.[13]
In 2018, Dominican baseball player José Bautista, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays, became an investor for Endy after meeting with Gettis and Ruparell earlier in 2016.[14]
In November 2018, Endy Sleep was acquired by Sleep Country Canada and will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary.[15]
