On Creating An Outdoor Gear Brand With A Humanitarian Mission
Hello! I’m Davis Smith, the founder, and CEO of Cotopaxi, an outdoor and adventure gear brand with a humanitarian mission at its core. We’re a Benefit Corporation (B Corp), so we’re building a brand that is much more than just a company dedicated to making money. We have built our entire business, brand, and culture around serving others. We believe that through business, we can make the world a better place.
Our flagship products include an adventure travel bag called the Allpa, a colorful fleece called the Teca Fleece made of remnant (left-over) fabrics leftover from the manufacturing of other outdoor brands, and our Del Dia line of bags which are also made of remnant material but are also one-of-a-kind bags designed by the sewers of the bags.
Since our launch six years ago, we’ve become one of the fastest-growing brands in the outdoor industry, and last year alone we committed $1 million towards social impact.
