About

Sam Garst is on a mission to revolutionize the hair removal experience through innovative light technology. As the CEO and Founder Nood, Sam’s vision and bootstrap mentality propelled Nood into a success story, achieving a remarkable $10M+ in annual EBITDA in just its second year. His journey began with a simple observation - despite technological leaps, traditional razor usage remained unchanged for over 2000 years, prompting him to create a better, modern solution for grooming. Under Sam’s leadership, Nood introduced its flagship device, the Flasher 2.0, an FDA-cleared class II medical gadget, making at-home intense pulsed light (IPL) hair reduction not only effective but also affordable. With a background that melds a keen sense of history with a drive for modern-day innovation, Sam’s endeavor with Nood highlights his ability to identify, address, and revolutionize everyday challenges, fostering a brand that resonates with today’s consumer while achieving notable financial success.
