Our Mission
At BoldBear®, our mission is simple: Enjoy what we do, make our customers smile when they receive their order and try to do it for as long as we can. Enjoy what we produce, provide 5-star quality products and create a 5-star opportunity for local artisans that are starting out.
Our Approach
Stay rooted and always be growing. Create a place where others artisans can shine and remember where we come from is our approach to success at BoldBear®. One piece of our approach starts with the creation of “Made in California™” a BoldBear® Marketplace where local artisans can have an additional place to bring exposure to their products and business.
FROM KANSAS CITY TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
STARTED JUST AS A HOBBY AND NOW WE’RE IN MULTIPLE CITIES
OUR STORY
It all started as a hobby creating customizable weddings and baby showers gifts for just family and friends. That hobby has now grown into a international brand selling home decor products and gifts to customers worldwide.
Orginially founded in Kansas City, Missouri, Jessica and Wes (husband and founding partner at Starke Ventures) ditched the hobby-life and expanded their idea into a rapidly scalable marketplace of multiple brands called “BoldBear®”.
BoldBear® also known as BoldBear® Brands Corporation is a private
family-owned corporation which is now a partner controller of multiple home/wall decor brands, a local marketplace store and coming soon a coworking creators studio. BoldBear was founded in Kansas City Missouri with a new location in Murrieta, California.”
BoldBear® Brands was designed to provide quality handcrafted products, with the focus of just being a source for wedding and housewarming gifts in the beginning, BoldBear® quickly gained exposure and became much more.
By the spring of 2016, BoldBear® was
able to begin three new partnerships with SCo in Downtown Kansas City, Made in KC on the Crossroads, and Simple Rememberings.
During the summer of 2018, BoldBear® has started the development of its 1st marketplace retail store located in the heart of Murrieta, California called “Made in California™ Marketplace”. BoldBear® aims to offer additional platforms for local artists, designers, and makers, which will give brands access to many geographical and demographical locations as BoldBear® Marketplace.
BoldBear wants to work actively
with artisans building great resources for both the customer in finding quality merchandise while local artisans grow their sales, which means everyone experiences success.
BoldBear® is developing more fun and new projects including its gift boxes and Comaker Creators Studio for the small creator businesses needing equipment and a space to grow their business. Continue to follow BoldBear® and the team on Instagram and Facebook.

purchased: custom “come as you are” wood sign
I was so impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of our custom order sign! The lettering is actually laser etched into the wood, I believe, and then painted black to pop! The BoldBear team were a delight to work with too 🙂
