Toms founder Blake Mycoskie created his shoe company with the mission of donating a pair of shoes for every pair purchased. Inc. noted that, after 10 years, Mycoskie could serve as a "social enterprise poster child" after his business model was copied by other companies such as Warby Parker. In 2014, Mycoskie sold half of Toms to Bain Capital at $625 million. By then, the company has already given away about 50 million pair of shoes.
