Company profile:
Casper is a sleep startup that re-imagines the experience of purchasing a mattress.

We provide free shipping with delivery right to your door in a mini-fridge sized box and a 100 days money-back policy. We generated over $1 million in 28 days following our launch and have raised nearly $15m in venture funding led by NEA with participation from leading investors including Lerer Ventures, SV Angel, and Ashton Kutcher.
