Show Notes

Oru Kayak made a large splash in 2013 by launching the first folding kayak on Kickstarter. Since then they've launched 5 more models, each with a successful ending. Jess Anthony runs Oru Kayak's marketing efforts and in this episode, we chat about what it takes to launch a successful Kickstarter as well as Jess's mission to increase equal representation for all people in the outdoors.

From the episode:

"I think you have a platform for communication, for ideas to move, to spotlight work other people are doing, and to contribute to projects they're doing."
