The Story Behind Lilikoi

I've spent the last decade building products at companies like SendGrid and Yonomi, helping businesses grow through better technology. But my real passion has always been the outdoors.

Living in Colorado, I'm constantly booking adventures: fly fishing guides in remote streams, whitewater rafting trips, catamaran tours, and more. Every time I'd book something, I'd see the same thing: amazing operators creating incredible memories, but struggling with tools that weren't built for them.

These operators weren't just running businesses. They were pushing people out of their comfort zones and sharing their passion for the outdoors. They deserved better.

So I combined everything I'd learned about building products that scale with deep conversations with dozens of adventure operators. Lilikoi is the result: a platform built specifically for the adventure industry.

Market Opportunity

Transforming a Growing Industry

The adventure tourism industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, with travelers increasingly seeking authentic and transformative experiences. Yet operators lack the modern tools they need to scale. We're here to change that.

What Makes Us Different

Built by Adventurers

We're not another generic software company trying to fit adventure businesses into a one-size-fits-all solution. We're outdoor enthusiasts who have experienced the booking process from both sides and understand what actually matters.

    We handle the complexity behind the scenes so your daily operations feel effortless, while still giving you the control you need.

  • Your Success is Our Success
