MyCamper operates a two-sided marketplace that lets private owners rent out motorhomes, caravans and camping buses. The Basel startup saw strong growth in 2019 after appearing on the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen Schweiz," growing more than threefold. The 2020 lockdown sharply reduced business; the company applied for short-time work and received a bridging loan, and it cut costs. Recently website traffic and bookings within Switzerland have begun to recover. MyCamper has opened a branch in Sweden with two people in Stockholm and plans further expansion, naming Norway as a target possibly as soon as late 2020. The company secured a financing round to provide the necessary funds for growth. MyCamper operates a peer-to-peer marketplace for camper vehicles, letting owners rent out campers that otherwise sit unused. The platform lists over 600 vehicles; owners rent them on average 43 days per year and earn roughly CHF6,000. The company was featured on the Swiss TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen," where it secured investment commitments on air. Founders and leadership mentioned in the article include Michele Matt (CEO), COO Mirjam Affolter and co‑founder Stefan Lieberherr. MyCamper says it will invest the fresh capital in marketing and in expanding the team. After the studio commitments, the deal was confirmed following post-show due diligence and a strategic investor joined. The article notes listings and owner earnings are trending upward.
