Overview

HLRBO operates an online marketplace for hunting leases, offering listing, discovery, secure payments, legal agreements, and integrated insurance to connect landowners and hunters. Founded in 2015 in Brainerd, Minnesota, the platform reports 14,000 paying subscribers, 225,000 total users, and 1.7 million acres of land leases across all 50 states. The company has grown from a regional startup into a national platform and has raised multiple rounds, including $600,000 and $1.0 million in 2024 and the recent $2.5 million round in 2026. HLRBO is investing its latest capital in technology upgrades—parcel-level mapping, AI land scoring, and a 3D “cinematic” view—alongside web/app improvements. It is also expanding media, education, trade-show presence, partnerships, and creator-driven social initiatives to increase engagement and inventory. These efforts aim to scale listings and user acquisition while building land intelligence and marketplace infrastructure.
