World's largest on-demand outdoor travel platform for RVs ranked No. 16 on the distinguished list of marketplaces in the U.S. and was also named one of the largest tech employers in Austin
AUSTIN, Texas, April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Outdoorsy, the most trusted on-demand global RV rental and outdoor travel marketplace, has been named one of the largest and fastest-growing marketplace startups and private companies on the a16z Marketplace 100 list.
Created by renowned venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, the a16z Marketplace 100 list ranked Outdoorsy No. 16 overall, after having previously been awarded the No. 11 (2021) and No. 28 (2020) ranking in years' past. Among startups recognized on the list, Outdoorsy ranked second overall in the travel category.
The Marketplace 100 is based on a marketplace activity score for each company that includes GMV, per Bloomberg Second Measure (for companies that Bloomberg Second Measure tracks), as well as Apptopia data for app performance and SimilarWeb data for website traffic.
"We are honored to be recognized for the third year in a row on the a16z Marketplace 100 list," said Jeff Cavins, Co-founder and CEO of Outdoorsy. "This is a testament to our team's continued dedication over the past year and what was a record year for the company. We have made a commitment to our customers to raise the marketplace standard and that is at the forefront of every decision made. This recognition acknowledges those efforts, and we could not be more proud."
In addition to the a16z placement, Outdoorsy was recently named one of the biggest tech employers in the Austin area by the Austin Business Journal. With rankings based on the number of local jobs provided in the city, the Tech Employers list includes companies that provide proprietary technology that betters the industry they operate in.
"Austin is Outdoorsy's backyard and to have the opportunity to positively impact this city through technology and travel is a privilege we do not take for granted," Cavins said.
The above recognitions follow an incredible growth year for Outdoorsy. In March, the company was named by Forbes as one of America's Best Startup Employers for the third year in a row and compared to this time last year, Outdoorsy has seen a 13% YoY growth in bookings for summer departures.
