01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Early Majority was a Paris-based brand founded in 2021 that made outdoor gear and built a membership brand community around it. It stood for gender equality in an outdoor category that had traditionally left out the woman's point of view, plus anti-consumerism and environmental causes: members supported the brand's causes and reduced its environmental impact, and in exchange received access to tools and resources for an adventure-, art-, and activism-fueled life, and a voice in product creation. It raised a $4.29 million seed round in August 2021 and built its brand in public via a Substack newsletter.
