Campstake, LLC Information

Campstake was founded by Seth Nieman and Brandon Painter in April of 2014 with the goal to be a destination for all people who enjoy the outdoors to get together and share their experiences. With over 18 months before an official launch, Campstake went through several iterations before landing on what you will see shortly, but the mission has always remained the same. Campstake exists to connect outdoor enthusiasts with each other, and to provide guides, recommendations, gear, apparel, and to foster an active community that helps ensure your next adventure is your best one yet! The original vision for Campstake was a beautifully simple, easy to navigate, online platform for rating and reviewing campsites, trails, fishing holes and other outdoor activities with a rich B2B offering that allowed users to plan and publish their adventures while interacting with others. Essentially we wanted to build a Yelp/Facebook/Foursquare for the outdoors. This served to be a bit ambitious, but the new Campstake still allows outdoorsmen and women to find the answers and the products they seek. It's threefold: the General Store is an eCommerce solution for those looking to sell photography, apparel or trinkets to the outdoor community (Campstake, as a company, will have their own storefront as well where we have 266 SKU's ready for launch); the Field Guide is the evolution of the Journal where we curate stories, guides, tips and product reviews from the #CampChatFam; lastly, we provide a dynamic companion to #CampChat -- the first, largest and furthest-reaching Twitter chat solely revolving around camping. Launching: 11.21.15 Will we ever build our app? Maybe. But for now we are still working to provide a place for outdoorsmen and women can share their experiences and find the answers that aren't readily available with a simple Google search. Post-pivot, Campstake still provides a place to foster these interactions. Only time will tell which path we take from here.
