#Episode 109 - Preeti Suri - Founder & CEO of AdventureTripr
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After more than 15 years in investment banking and consulting, Preeti made a bold shift into entrepreneurship. What sparked it wasn’t a business plan… it was transformation. Following postpartum recovery, she turned to the outdoors, and within a year, summited Mount Rainier. That journey didn’t just change her physically, it reshaped her purpose.
She saw firsthand how powerful the outdoors can be, and more importantly, how inaccessible it still is for so many people.
So she built AdventureTripr, a marketplace connecting people to curated, multi-day adventure experiences with vetted local guides. But this isn’t just about travel. It’s about breaking barriers. Social, cultural, economic. Opening the outdoors to everyone.
Along the way, she’s bootstrapped a business through a global pandemic, navigated the realities of being a female founder, and stepped into investing in women-led ventures focused on health, community, and innovation.
She’s also building real communities through her “Adventures For Everyone” initiative, helping beginners step into new experiences and connect with others on the same journey.
This is a conversation about transformation, resilience, and what happens when you stop waiting and start building something that matters.
