RVshare, which connects RV renters to RV owners, has turned 10 years old.
The company started in the founder’s basement, launching its first landing page in June 2013 and then a website that August. In 2018, RVshare brought on Jon Gray, the former chief revenue officer of Vrbo (formally HomeAway), as its new CEO to build out the executive suite and scale product and marketing capabilities for the brand. In his first month, Gray secured a $50 million commitment from Austin-based investment firm Tritium Partners. The company has grown markedly over the past few years, raising $100-plus million in growth capital from private equity giant, KKR.
Today, the company lists more than 100,000 units across the U.S. and offers a diverse selection of vehicles. The peer-to-peer platform has seen more than four million nights booked and 203 million miles traveled by RVshare renters.
