The recent financing round closed by Tropicfeel highlights the great success experienced by this young Barcelona-based firm dedicated to designing and manufacturing waterproof shoes for travellers. In this post we analyse the case of this Spanish startup from a corporate finance point of view.

Cónoce a Tropicfeel

Tropicfeel was founded in 2017, after a trip between four friends where they saw the need for specific footwear for travellers. In this way, they set out to to make a shoe that could provide the benefits of all the slippers, flip-flops and boots that people usually travel in..

In this way, after visiting different shoe factories to understand the manufacturing process and starting their own production in Vietnam, they managed to sell a run of 1,500 pairs. In this way, they were able to launch waterproof, comfortable shoes for walking in the mountains or on asphalt, and aesthetically pleasing. In short, a versatile, all-in-one shoe for travellers.

Tras una primera ronda de crowfunding en Kickstarter donde consiguieron un total de 2.1M€ en tan sólo 50 días, a pesar de haberse marcado un objetivo de 12.000 €, recientemente Tropicfeel inició una segunda ronda de financiación. Esta vez a través de Indiegogo, han logrado reunir más de 3.4M€ to continue its expansion and start a new production to offer its footwear in its e-commerce by the end of the year.
