Overview

Arrive operates Arrive Outdoors, a consumer-facing camping and ski gear rental business, and The Arrive Platform, a B2B service that licenses Arrive’s rental technology and operations to other ecommerce brands. The platform embeds a “rent” button on product detail pages and handles the full rental lifecycle, including shipping, customer service, and cleaning returned products. Founders Rachelle Snyder and Ross Richmond launched the company in 2017 and have pivoted from pure rental operations toward licensing the underlying software and operational processes. Arrive announced a $4 million Seed II funding round led by Amino Ventures and has raised $8.75 million in total to date. The company continues to run Arrive Outdoors and is onboarding partners including the Eddie Bauer Gear Rental Program and Public Lands (a new Dick’s Sporting Goods store). Sustainability is a core tenet of the business, and Arrive positions rentals as a convenient alternative to ownership within a large consumer-goods rental market. Arrive Outdoors was started by Rachelle Snyder and Ross Richmond after they arrived in L.A. The company operates an equipment-rental business that lets people access outdoor adventure gear without owning it. Its core offering is a rental platform and inventory of outdoor equipment aimed at increasing access to outdoor activities. CEO Rachelle Snyder discussed the company's approach on the Office Hours podcast, saying, 'If you present customers with a rental model, they're going to take that model every time.' The article reports that Arrive Outdoors has recently raised $4.75 million. The piece does not provide additional operational metrics or detailed future product plans.
