A desire to do good served as the seed of an idea for some entrepreneurs that would eventually become the Next Big Thing. For Bombas, this meant supplying homeless shelters with the most-requested item: socks. In order to help reforest the world, two Canadian tree planters started the clothing company Tentree. Tentree was started in 2012, and the clothes it makes blur the lines between outdoor and indoor wear. Both rugged hikers and urbanites can…
