The couple built their business by reimagining the sleep industry, and Malouf Companies has made award-winning sleep products part of their core business since 2003.ĭavis says, “We can leap years into the future because we get to plug into the operations at Malouf. Kacie and Sam Malouf are majority partners at Tamarak and founders of Malouf Companies, a vertically integrated corporation in Logan, Utah that has seen explosive demand for their consumer products. The office is unique both because of the emphasis on additional resources for entrepreneurs (like marketing, accounting, and operations) and because of the connection to Malouf Companies. Tamarak is a limited private fund of the Hatch family and the Malouf family that focuses on pre-seed funding in strategic companies. Since that launch, the company has developed additional products for the Pillow Cube family (like the Side Sleeper Pro, Ice Cube, Sidekick, and Pillow Cubs for kids) and been featured in publications like Buzzfeed, Apartment Therapy, and The New York Times.ĭavis says, “Pillow Cube is growing so quickly that we wanted an investor, but we didn’t want to settle for traditional options.” He continued, “Tamarak is not only an investor, but also a strategic partner.” The Kickstarter was fully funded in 48 hours, supported by an engaging and successful marketing campaign. As Davis got older, he noticed that traditional pillow shapes did not adequately support his head and neck, and while being pitched by potential bedding clients, he saw a cube-shaped foam sample and decided to test it as a pillow. The mother of Davis’s childhood friend gave him the idea when he was just 10 years old when she taught him about Japanese pillow boxes. Davis utilized his creative marketing skills to launch Pillow Cube on Kickstarter, though he’d been developing the idea for far longer. At the time, he was working at Creatably, his creative agency in Provo that specializes in supporting national as well as local brands like Gabb Wireless, Owlet, and Homie. Utah Valley resident Jay Davis founded Pillow Cube in July 2019. Logan - Tamarak Capital, a multi-family venture capital office based in Springville, Utah, announced today that they finalized their growth investment in Pillow Cube.
