Ladies and Gentlemen...start your engines. Kickstarter 12 is live. I know MOST people here don't ride a motorcycle. But for those who do, and those who like to have things that are the best of their kind...you're going to love this. The technical and regulatory challenge to create a mechanically locking, magnetically aided Qi2 certified wireless charger was probably the most difficult project we've ever worked on at Peak Design. Special thanks for Sam Girvin and Wheeler Gans from the PD engineering team for having the guts to take it on, commit to a timeline, and make it happen. Do us a solid, and let the folks you know who get their kicks on two wheels about this product. thanks folks! pd

BAM! Off to the races with $500k raised. Get 'em while they're HOT!!!!!
Since 2010, Peak Design has set a course like literally none other... what started as a $50K loan from parents has rolled into a worldwide beloved brand, driving $100M / yr in revenue. Most impressively, Peak Design has no investors on its cap table and no loans on its books. They chart their own course and have no stakeholders except the earth, their customers, and the people who work there. Peak Design Founder Peter Dering did it all with the help of a fanatic customer base built and nurtured through Kickstarter. To date the company has raised over $36 million, and today they are at it again. As they say at the beginning of the campaign video, "A company born in the outdoors... finally makes bags for the outdoors." So excited for this one. https://lnkd.in/gf8KU98Y

We're stoked to announce that we've partnered with our friends at The Roam Collective LLC to support The Roam Media Core. The Roam Media Core is a mentorship program that will pair up-and-coming femme creatives with seasoned pros who can offer the tutelage and networking needed to launch a full-time career in the industry. Most programs of this nature focus on creative and technical skills — which is undoubtedly important — but breaking into the industry takes more than that. From networking, to learning how to pitch projects, to advice on billing and invoicing, Roam Media Core is about jumpstarting sustainable careers. Who It's For: - Female/femme photographers, filmmakers, and writers who aspire to be full-time creative professionals in the outdoor or action sports industries. - Folks who already have strong technical skillsets and creative talent who are looking to finally ‘break into’ the industry. - Must be based in the US and able to attend Roam Fest in Fruita, CO from September 20-22. How It Works: - Apply between now and May 15th via the form linked below. - Five winners will be jointly announced on May 28th by PD & The Roam Collective. - Between June and August, participants will engage in virtual workshops with badass mentors. - From September 20-22, participants will attend Roam Fest in Fruita, CO for hands-on skill-building at the world’s dopest femme mountain biking festival. If you or someone you know would be a great fit for this, we'd love to see your application! https://lnkd.in/eumZRXye

"Progress over perfection." If you've been following us for awhile, you've heard us say this phrase before, and you'll hear us say it again. In the words of Annie, our Head of Environmental and Social Impact: "While perfection has its place, ‘perfect or bust’ shares some genetics with zero-sum, left-right, good-evil frameworks; frameworks that often capture the spotlight and our attention but rarely capture the full picture or offer viable solutions." We constantly strive to build a more ethical and sustainable business, and we don't always do things perfectly. But when we do misstep, we own up to it, learn from it, and keep moving forward. Our 2023 Impact Report is a transparent look at what we're doing to be a more responsible business, and a few things we could be doing even better. Read through it now at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gHx3we7K

I have to say… I'm not sure social media has ever provided me with such delight as it did when receiving this unsolicited compliment. David Lancefield, very grateful for your kind words, but I'm even more grateful that you seem to have gleaned that my email was something worth sharing. It's tricky… I've been on the inside of this company since I started it about 14 years ago, and those of us here certainly feel that it is special. But it's hard to convey that to the outside world, so perhaps suffice it to say, I (and the team) really appreciate the pat on the back. While I do think what we are doing at Peak Design as unique, a look under the hood will reveal no strokes of genius. It more closely resembles a simple application of the things we were all supposed to learn on the playground in elementary school. Be good to the people around you, and most likely… They will be good to you. That's not all there is to it, but that's a lot of it. pd

I'll admit to a few eye-rolls when I read some statements on culture and ethics. A bit too much, divorced from reality, theatrical. But then I read this one. I just bought a tripod from Peak Design on the excellent advice of my good friend Richard Bistrong. I received the usual admin emails, containing shipping details and then the receipt. I didn't expect to receive an email from the company founder Peter Dering. It felt personal, real. No fluff. Giving me a clear sense of the company I had just bought a product from. I thought it was rather brilliant. Here are some statements I liked: - 'We have no revenue goals or product launch deadlines. No wasted time with budgets and Powerpoint decks to appease outsiders. We take as much time as necessary to design gear that we're confident is literally the best out there.' - 'We ensure that the workers in our partners' factories are treated fairly. They're paid higher than average, with safe working conditions and humane hours.' - 'We treat our customers as peers. If you ask us a question, we'll tell you the answer, openly and honestly.' - 'We're 100% carbon neutral, and we started a nonprofit that's helped 330 other businesses (and counting!) do the same. We donate 1% of our revenue to environmental causes. - 'Lastly, we speak up for what we believe in, and when we do, we seek to understand all sides of the issue. We think everybody should do that.' *** How well do you articulate your purpose and culture, especially to your customers? #strategy #leadership #culture #purpose
