ReGear
ReGear is a platform that allows outdoor retail stores to leverage the underutilized gear sitting in their inventories for rental income. Outdoor participation has been on a steadily rising trend since 2018 to 53% of the United States population in 2021 and is expected to continue growing, yet rising gear costs and lack of gear knowledge are keeping some of the people that want to participate out of the great outdoors. ReGear allows these adventure seekers to have unforgettable outdoor experiences while solving the problem of slow inventory turnover for small outdoor retail shops. ReGear leverages the local expertise and gear that these retailers have and uses it to help adventure-seekers have incredible outdoor experiences that they otherwise never would have had the chance to experience.
