FROM COLLEGE DREAMS TO A REALITY

As a college student, founder Nathaniel Treichler spent countless hours in his cramped dorm room, daydreaming about a business that could turn his passion for humor into a success story. 

THE HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

At some point in the summer of 2017, Nathaniel browsed the greeting card aisle of stores, searching for a funny birthday card. He scanned through rows of dull, uninspired options, that he would never actually say. Instead of settling, he thought, what if he created his own greeting cards? Cards that weren’t just bland sentiments but instead said what everyone was really thinking. 

 

So, he decided to do just that.

Nathaniel turned his college dorm room closet into his makeshift office. In that tiny, cramped space he began Sleazy Greetings—a brand that’s all sass, zero class. Because who needs class (literally in Nate’s case) when you can sell funny cards instead?

THE DRIVE BEHIND THE LAUGHTER

Nathaniel’s motivation wasn’t just to create funny cards. His parents had always worked to support him, making countless sacrifices to ensure he had every opportunity to succeed. He wanted to repay them for all they had done by building a business that would one day allow him to retire them. It was his way of saying “thank you” for the years of love and hard work they had given him. Plus, what better way to say "thanks" than “YOU’RE F*CKING AMAZING” on a card instead?

A DREAM REALIZED

As the months and years passed, Sleazy Greetings began to gain traction. By 2021, Nathaniel’s dream was no longer just a small business; it had grown into a company with a diverse lineup of cards and thousands of customers (aka SLEAZEBAGS). But the success of Sleazy Greetings meant more to Nathaniel than just personal achievement. Sleazy Greetings is the first step toward fulfilling his ultimate goal: retiring his parents and giving them the life they had always deserved.

OUR GOAL

Our mission is simple: "to make people laugh and bring a smile to their faces" 

We capture the inside jokes, spontaneous phrases, and emotions that spark laughter in everyday relationships. Every card we create is a testament to the belief that humor can brighten even the darkest days. After all, life’s too short for boring cards.
