Outdoorsy has been named as one of largest and fastest-growing marketplace startups and private companies on the a16z Marketplace 100 list. Created by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, the a16z Marketplace 100 list ranked Outdoorsy No. 11 overall, a jump up from spot No. 28 on last year’s inaugural list. Among startups recognized on the list, Outdoorsy ranked second overall in the travel category.
“This ranking is further testament to our team’s fortitude and commitment to Outdoorsy’s core values in a time where unpredictable twists and unprecedented turns were around every corner,” said Jeff Cavins, CEO and co-founder of Outdoorsy. “After a year like 2020, it’s rewarding to hold the No. 11 spot in such incredible company. For us, it’s a reflection on the light we were able to find at the end of the tunnel and a reminder of the tenacity put forth by our team in the past year.”
In addition to the a16z placement, Outdoorsy was recently named one of the biggest tech employers in the Austin area by the Austin Business Journal.
“The incredible growth we’ve seen and the work we’ve done to make the outdoors accessible to all would not have been possible without the collaborative and welcoming environment our team has collectively fostered and found in our outdoorsy backyard of Austin,” Cavins said.
