Loot Crate is a subscription box service established in 2012 which provides monthly boxes of geek and gaming related merchandise.
Loot Crate was co-founded by Chris Davis and Matthew Arevalo in 2012 who aimed to create a "comic-con in a box". By 2014 the company had over 200,000 subscribers in 10 countries.
In 2016, Loot Crate raised $18.5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by UpFront Ventures, with participation from Breakwater Investment Management, Time Inc., Downey Ventures, M13 and Sterling VC.
Loot Crate's themes change monthly and can be anything from 'Invasion' to 'Anti-Hero' to 'Future'. Loot Crate teams up with lots of companies such as DC, Marvel and Nintendo to create a large array of merchandise in every crate.
One-off crates with particular themes have been released, such as for Fallout 4 and Mass Effect.
LootCrate also operates a Loot Anime box with Anime related items. In January 2016 Loot Crate announced a Loot Gaming subscription option with boxes containing video game related content. The company says that the gaming themed boxes will likely lead to more game-specific cases like the ones for Mass Effect and Fallout 4.
As well as that, LootCrate operate a Loot Pets box, that follows the same monthly themes as the regular LootCrate, but all the items are intended for cats, dogs or any other critters you may own.
In mid-2014, Loot Crate officially sponsored for American eSports team, OpTic Gaming.
In 2016, Loot Crate officially sponsored Dungeons & Dragons program, Critical Role.
