GLD

GLD, established in 2015, is a fashion and retail startup based in the United States. The company's slogan "Our mission: Inspire others to innovate, work hard, and change the game" reflects its ambition to inspire and empower. Founded by Christian Johnston and his childhood friends in Pittsburgh, GLD began as a dream to create a lifestyle brand through jewelry design and production.

From its humble beginnings in a Pittsburgh basement, GLD has grown into an international brand with millions of customers and followers. The company is now headquartered in a 12,000 square foot facility in Miami, FL and is preparing to launch its flagship retail location. GLD's expansion is driven by its commitment to challenging individuals to work hard, play hard, and give back.

GLD's success is evidenced by its collaborations with A-list celebrities such as ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, and Trippie Redd, as well as top athletes like Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and Paul Pogba. These partnerships have propelled the brand onto the global stage, further amplified by strategic collaborations with the NBA and Marvel Comics.

The company's recent Private Equity Round investment on 28 September 2021, led by H.I.G. Growth Partners, signifies confidence in GLD's potential for further growth and impact. As GLD continues to expand its presence and influence, it remains committed to its core values of inspiring innovation, hard work, and a fulfilling lifestyle for its customers and followers.
