History
Eleven James was founded in 2013 by Randy Brandoff, former NetJets CMO.[8] Brandoff also helped to launch Tequila Avion, a leading spirits brand made popular by the HBO series “Entourage,” where he was a co-founder and principal prior to the company’s sale to Pernod Ricard in 2014.[9] The company's name itself is a reference to the man whom Brandoff calls the prototypical Eleven James member: James Bond, the spy who's always equipped with gadgets.[6] Since launching Eleven James in 2014, the company raised $6.72 million in a Series A investment.[6] As of January 2017, Eleven James raised $30 million of additional capital.[2] To date, Eleven James has secured $38.12 million in funding from both private investors and corporations including BoxGroup, Kenny Dichter, and Jason Saltzman.[4][10]
