The outdoor industry is growing fast in WNC and Rockgeist Bikepack USA is no exception!
The company was the first-ever outdoor gear company to break into the Venture 15 and this past year, Rockgeist ranked as the 8th fastest growing start-up in Asheville.
Bikepacking is exactly what it sounds like. Backpacking, but with a bike! At Rockgeist, founder Gregory Hardy, who has a PhD in Material Sciences, is making custom, waterproof bike packs for the bikepacking community.
We ‘ship talk with Greg about being a part of the fast-growing outdoor industry, plans for the future as they expand and what they've seen (including some interesting photos!) during their time so far.
Talking 'Ship is hosted by Jeffrey Kaplan, the Director of Venture Asheville, a program of the Asheville-Buncombe Economic Development Coalition and the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce.
