Hey there! Welcome to Gearo; the future of outdoor gear rentals and sales.
Gearo is a marketplace specifically designed for outdoor gear shops. We are on a mission to consolidate all outdoor gear into one view for comparable rentals and purchases. Gearo empowers outdoor gear shops to grow and run their businesses with marketing and operational tools. With Gearo consumers are able to automate their gear transactions for their future adventures.
Founded in April of 2016, Gearo set out on a journey to revolutionize the outdoor gear rental experience. We realized that most mom-and-pop outdoor gear shops were using paper and pen to manage their shop’s transactions. These small shops were not equipped with the marketing and operational tools to serve as the backbone of the outdoor gear industry. Both outdoor enthusiasts, our co-founders sought with passion to solve this problem. Through a unique leverage of technology, the idea for Gearo was born and launched.
