Problem
It's difficult to securely and comfortably carry things while riding bikes & scooters
This creates daily challenges for the millions of people who want to integrate micromobility into their life
Micromobility - using bikes and scooters for short trips - increased 62% last year with nearly two million trips taken each day in the U.S. alone.
Micromobility is a convenient, sustainable and fun way to get around, but it does come with challenges: how to carry what you need for the day, feeling seen and secure in traffic, being prepared for the weather ... and whatever else the day may bring.
Uncertainty over how to easily overcome these everyday challenges keeps consumers from using micromobility as often as they would like.
Solution
Po Campo bags eliminate these challenges so you can enjoy micromobility every day
Designed with MobilityTech™ to make bikes and scooters a more seamless part of your life.
Po Campo bags are as mobile as you, designed specifically to support your micro-mobile lifestyle. The secret sauce is our MobilityTech™: innovative and intelligent design that marries necessary functionality with the style and sustainability that an active lifestyle demands. #bikeandbefree

Our initial 2020 investment has already shown a 256% sales increase

Po Campo Competitive Advantages
We'll capture this growing market by leveraging 3 competitive advantages:
First mover advantage. We are the original brand to focus on supporting the micromobility lifestyle and our ongoing product innovation keeps us a step ahead.
Founder-Market Fit. Our authentic connection to the micromobility community drives hard-to-replicate brand love.
Smart Marketing. We've been collecting data on this consumer for 12 years, enabling us to target them better than anyone.
Competition
Po Campo doesn’t make compromises
Consumers are forced to make trade-offs with other brands
Consumers currently have to decide if they prioritize functionality, in which case they'll shop from the legacy bike/outdoor brands...
...Or decide if style and sustainability are more important, in which case they'll choose from DTC city/travel brands...
But why choose? Po Campo removes theses trade-offs by uniting functionality with sustainable style, focusing on serving the micro-mobile consumer, and being widely available.
Vision and strategy
Becoming the category defining brand for the micromobility movement
Transitional and stylish bike bags are only the beginning
Our vision is to be the category defining brand for the micromobility movement. Everyone will be in the bike lane with a Po Campo, experiencing the joy and freedom of micromobility every day. To realize this vision:
- Increase MobilityTech™ product offerings to grow customer lifetime value
- Partner with leading brands in the micromobility space
- Expand distribution to gain access to the largest micromobility markets
MobilityTech™ Track Record & Product Roadmap
Give Back & Sustainability Timeline
Attaining this vision requires a commitment to social and environmental wellbeing and stewardship. Here's our progress:
Funding
Building for acquisition
Po Campo bootstrapped its way to slow and steady growth, focusing on perfecting our product with the consumer and building a reliable supply chain while waiting for the market to develop. Now that micromobility is exploding in popularity, we have a strong foundation in place to grow faster than bootstrapping allows, and capture this market as only we can.
Po Campo's acquisition value will come from being a profitable category leader, owning the best consumer data, and possessing defensible IP. The most likely acquiring company would be a brand or holding company that wants to gain access to the micromobility lifestyle market.
