What we do
A curated marketplace for outdoor gear.
We’re on a mission to simplify the outdoor gear discovery process. To make this happen, we partner with the best rental retailers around, equipping them with the tools they need to grow and thrive while providing gear-seekers with virtual aisles of bookable and shoppable gear.
Every transaction generated through Gearo helps our retailers grow and flourish. Shop Gearo and Support Local.
Retailer Software
We built Gearo Automator with and for our retailers to extend their online rental and sales presence.
Who we are
“a mutually beneficial community of retailers and adventure-seekers.”
Gearo was spun out of the realization that gear accessibility needed to be improved. Justine first started Gearo after a failed paddleboard rental attempt where she then contemplated buying and then ultimately did neither.
After many conversations with retailers, it became all-to-apparent that between retailer bandwidth and current technology options, the space was greatly underserved. So, Gearo was born – a mutually beneficial community of retailers and adventure-seekers.
Our Team Values
Integrity: We are a values-first team and make all decisions with our retailers’ and customers’ best interests at heart.
