Bart Szaniewski The three co-founders (Bart, Ejay, and Grant) are all dads who had a text thread about dad life—the good, the not-so-good, and everything in between. How they balanced fatherhood, work, and extracurricular activities gave them a united front to share stories, ending each text with #DadGang. They were onto something. The term stuck and they soon realized it could be understood by plenty of other dads. So they made 100 hats to see what would happen. What resulted was an overwhelming response, with the hats selling out in less than 36 hours. Supporters of the brand include Mookie Betts of the L.A. Dodgers, Russell Wilson of the Steelers, Alex Verdugo of the Yankees, Jrue Holiday of the Celtics, professional boxer Teofimo Lopez, Super Bowl Champion Jermaine Kearse, and NBA Champion Dwyane Wade.
